See AllElden Ring on Switch 2 Comes With a Big Catch
I might buy a Switch 2 Eventually but if the game is not on the cart, I will not buy that game.
PERIOD.
As someone who often still plays my 3DS/DS and all my old Nintendo consoles, this WILL directly affect me when they shut the servers down in 10 years or so.
Nintendo offers (from what I know) 8GB - 64GB on the new S2 carts to third party game publishers. They might even have a 128GB card (unconfirmed).
A 64gb high speed SD card can be gotten for $10 these days on Amazon. Nintendo's carts are probably cheaper. They are probably charging $2-3 bucks for a 64GB card wholesale.
Many of these third party games can fit on a 64gb card. But you are seeing these games announced as download keys on 8GB carts with Switch 2...and they will be $80-$90!
Bravely Default literally says the cart requires a full game download of "11GB".....11 GB!!!! They couldn't be bothered to fit that on a cart.
Street Fighter 6 requires a full game download of "50GB"?!?!?...why can't that fit on the 64GB cart? Cyberpunk 2077 will apparently be on the cart and be upwards of 60GB so we know it can be done!
Elden ring PS4 version is 45GB on disc....yet this is this a Game Key Card on Switch 2. Why is FromSoft and Nintendo requiring a download of the full game?
Why?...That is the question you should ask yourself and you know the answer already.
