Farewell physical media - some Nintendo Switch 2 games aren't on the carts
Briefly

The Nintendo Switch 2 offers significant upgrades, notably a base storage of 256 GB, vastly increasing capacity over the original Switch's 32 GB. Many games will employ 'game-key cards' that act as keys to download games, thereby redefining how physical media is perceived. This method mirrors past practices seen on platforms like Xbox One, where physical copies included download codes. The shift toward digital ownership raises concerns among traditional gamers regarding digital asset reliability and ownership, especially those with previous experiences of losing access to their games.
It's a good thing that the Nintendo Switch 2 comes with a base 256 GB of internal storage - eight times more than the original Switch's paltry 32 GB.
some Nintendo Switch 2 games won't come on the cartridge at all; instead, so-called 'game-key cards' will simply contain a 'key' which you will use to download the game via the internet.
