Wait I'm even more fucking confused. I bought this just for the box thinking it was empty and had a key code inside. Now you're telling me there IS a cart inside, but it's fucking empty and I need to slot it in like an actual game every time I want to play it? At that point why not make it a fucking game cart what the fuck Nintendo.
>>750306020Buy a fucking ad, shitskin.
>>750306080I'm whiter than you. Read the post, mutt.
>>750306020>At that point why not make it a fucking game cart what the fuck Nintendo.Because a cartridge with real memory on it costs a significant portion of the game's MSRPThe publisher still wants physical presence in storesAlso, not Nintendo's choice because it's up to the publisher if they want to use a full cartridge or game key cardAlso also you can still sell a game key card after you're finished but you can't if you got a code in a box
>>750306020cuck card
>Buy a fucking ad, shitskin.
>>750306020I think there's a switch 1 version with a legit cart
So you can still trade it away if you want.
It's not about saving money on the card. It's about control and you will own nothing.
>>750306578And unlike the PS4 games having free upgrades for PS5 for 99% of games, you have to pay another extra $10 IF there even is an option to upgrade from Switch 1 to Switch 2 versions
>>750306782there's no need to upgrade, it's a double A game if that
Switch 1 is on the cart. It's an 8.8GB install anyway. Switch 2 version is 12GB download. You treat the key cartridge the same as a normal cartridge, you can sell it, lend it,etc.
ok more importantly, how well or poorly does this thing run
>>750306020NAND costs a lot of money, especially in the AI era. Optical media does not, btw, and is way better at long-term data retention.
>>750306581ThisWhy does no one understand this?
Disingenuous poster. Says key card on the cover and this retard even missed it LMAO
>>750306020>Boughted a Gay-key cardDeserved. Do your research next time, faggot OP.
>>750306020nice booba on the artwork, though
>>750306080Ayo, this dude>>750306535Is calling you out but not (you)'ing you. Are you just going to take that?
>>750307278Then the digital download should be cheaper>>750307349You cannot read. Try again. >>750307351You seem to bring up the gays a lot unprompted. Is there something you wish to share? Just call your father anon.
>>750307632>Then the digital download should be cheaperIf you do that, then you alienate retailers. Nintendo doesn't want to alienate them.
>>750307740Then retailers should lower their price. It's not my problem.
>>750307792Go, and ask them to do that, anon. Good luck.
>>750307839No need, I will create my own discount and simply pirate my games.
I own my copy :D
>>750307943Good for you.
>>750307982Any significant differences between both versions?
>>750306578It's so stupid that this is even the case. If Switch 1 can get a cart, why can't Switch 2??
>>750308039Only ones I know are 1080p 30fs vs 4k(upscaled) 60fps.
>>750308108because Switch 2 cartridges cost more and most devs don't want to pay it. I'm not a fan of key cards, but without them these games would either be digital only or not on Switch 2 at all. I don't think it is a huge deal for a small game like FF Resonance, but fuck playing something like Elden Ring with 100G install size on Switch 2. That's half your storage on one game.
>>750306020>FF game with actual turn based and not ATB quirky dogshitI might pick this up. What am i in for?
>>750308239It has a demo and it's fucking GREAT. It should have straight up been called FF17 but Square are cowards. I strongly suggest checking it out.
>>750308239Fun combat.Cool visuals unless you just hate HD2DGood music.Meh story.
>>750308108Nintendo Switch uses Macronix XtraROM.Nintendo Switch 2 uses 3D NAND & MLC Flash.I assume the latter performs better, at the cost of price.
>>750307982Hey, it's another poster smarter than OP. Good work with your reading comprehension anon, I wonder how much 'research' you had to do to purchase the proper physical version.
>>750308220That is BULLSHIT, indie devs make a point of using actual cards for their switch 2 games meanwhile every single big name third party company uses GKC just because cheaper. Square Enix is tbe biggest offender, they don't even include an upgrade path option, they want you to pay full.
>>750306020It's a piece of plastic that says "allow the connected digital copy of the game to run when inserted".You can sell it and someone can use it just like a normal cartridge, the only difference is that the devs save money spending part of their manufacturing cost buying a switch cart big enough to hold their entire game.The downside is that when the servers eventually go down, all these game key cards will become e-waste and those who don't have the game already installed on a system will lose access to the game.
>>750308394>indie devs make a point of using actual cards for their switch 2 gameslike what?>Square Enix are shitI 100% agree. Worst part is not even the key cards. They refuse to let you upgrade your Switch 1 copy with a patch, even a paid one.
>>750308239Try the demoIts like the first 7 hours and you get to save your progress
>>750308430>when the servers eventually go down,4 Trillion years from now when life is wiped out from the heat death of the universe, the Switch 2 games will still be on the server.
Keycards feel more insulting than if the game was digital only.
>>750308702Then you are retarded. You can sell the stupid card like a normal game.
>>750308702Why? You can at least share/trade/sell the game key cards still.
>>750308430>when the servers eventually go downI can still download Wii games, I'm willing to take my chances on this one. >>750308332>proper physical version>30 fps>720p
>>750308752>>750308787>it's worse in every other way than digital but that's okay because I can still sell itBut what if you don't want to sell it? What if you only buy games you actually like and want to keep them and replay them? Isn't it kind of shitty to have a product that actively punishes the consumers who enjoy it more?
>>750308332>>750307351Be honest, do you browse /toy/ a lot? You remind me of another "research" schizo.
>>750309061Then don't buy it. You think I give a fuck? Loser trying to have a moral debate here.
I would be more okay with keycards if they didn't have that giant ugly banner on the boxart. Switch 2 cases are already a massive step down from Switch 1 cases but 4/5ths of the library having a huge white stripe with tiny text and a qr code is so hideous that it makes me not want to collect physical for the console at all.
>>750307632>>750307740Weird, this actually happened in my shithole country. Digital is ~$10 cheaper than physical
>>750308451The lies of P devs, for example, complete edition is a full card. Also the incoming Stellar blade will be in a card too although that one is more an AA game.
I would have been okay with it being being a written card in the case. It's so inconvenient not having the not game in the case that I should have done digital, or pirated it on my steam deck.
So is this shit good or not? No haters, no glazers just straight dope is the game ITSELF objectively good?
>>750309223It’s no masterpiece
>>750309193>neowiz is indieI missed out on Lies of P, but I'm getting Stellar Blade. You cry about AAA, but Bethesda made Oblivion and Indiana Jones fully on the cart. Square Enix are just assholes.
>>750309223It's a 7/10, nice game.
>>750306020You wanted a key code instead? Why not just use the eShop for that? Are you actually retarded? Keycards are digital games that you can resell. That's pretty much it.
>>750309223Its average. Not bad. Not good. Just a game.
>>750306020i've been saying for awhile that game key cards are worse than digital, if you lose that card you are cooked and can't play the game.at least with a code you can tie it to your account and download it whenever. you still need storage space to download the game even with these retarded little cards.its the worst of both worlds
>>750309286>Square Enix are just assholesSo is Capcom and Sega.
>>750307278Too bad Sony killed the cheaper media right.
>>750309332You can lose a physical card also. Retarded logic. If you will keep that game forever then just buy from the eShop.
>>750309376Alas... At least vanilla Blu-ray will be completely patent free by 2027.
>>750306020Shut up bitch, at least you have the GKC, in my country fucking nobody got the switch 2 version or even the PS5 version! Only the Switch 1 version arrived which is already SOLD OUT.
>>750309557Grim, I also live in a shithole.
>>750308394Cyberpunk 2077 is a shit game but the devs are nice enough to put the whole game AND the DLC on the fucking game card. Embarrassing how other devs are this fucking greedy.
>>750308239That little bit of SOUL that rears its head in the FF franchise once every 5 or so years.
>>750309687At least the fact the game fucking sold out in my shitty third world country (to compare I still could find copies of that new switch sports game that came out the day) is a clear sign the game is on the road to success and the faggots shitposting it non stop got fucked.
>>750308542People argued the same way about Pokemon-Bank.Nintendo even said they made the app specificly to future proof for any system they develop.Pokemon Bank is dead.Never listen to corpos (or shills)
>>750310443It was Masuda or Tajiri that said that. I can't remember but yes Bank was always a scam
>>750308937>>I can still download Wii games, I'm willing to take my chances on this oneNintendo has flat out said they will shut down your ability to do that and they updated and reworded the page that said it fairly recently so it's not like they forgot. Your chances will bite you in the ass.
