@ThatZeldaNerd why? What did they do now? Zelda isn't ready to be shown. 3rd parties really want to support switch 2 and for switch 2 to be a success it needs them.
I'd really love to know what the actual numbers are on this chart. They have to be in the dozens at least lol. Physical only in a country of 60 million. It can't be very much at all.
@Yoshi3 it was going to be a live action game. It would not have been good. If they do do it now, hopefully it will be a fully rendered game with decent graphics.
@PikminMarioKirby would be far worse to deny games access to the platform. It's bad for the gamers and everyone involved. What a stupid short sighted comment.
They should have just used regular SD cards and allowed them to be installed on the system. SD cards are cheap. I don't care if it's running the game off the card, that makes no difference to me.
@HugoGED either way it's just a game saved to a piece of storage. Wether it's housed in it's own little piece of plastic or the plastic of the system itself. If I lose the card I lose the game. If I lose the switch and buy a new one I can still download the game again for free.
@DTfearTheBEARD it doesn't run at 60fps on Steamdeck. What you talkin' bout? Unless you drop everything to the lowest settings maybe? What you're seeing is the 30fps vsync bug
@Grim yes it uses a game key card which is just a digital download. The person I was responding to wanted a real physical on the cart version. But the carts Nintendo is using run at half the speed of the internal memory. That's why Ubisoft did Star Wars Outlaws as digital only, the carts are too slow for asset streaming. The physical carts are NOT SD Express. They run at 400mbs, express is 800+ and the internal NVME storage is even faster.
@tonyp1987 I doubt it. Game key cards are significantly slower than the system memory or SD express. I've bought 2 physical games and now I'm done with it.

Re: Borderlands 4 Switch 2 Development Paused, According To Take-Two
I'm hearing it's because they are moving resources to the Switch version of GTA6 so it launches close to the other versions

Re: DOOM's Switch Release Still Has A Compatibility Issue On Switch 2
I'd love 60fps and resolution patches for these. And then Dark Ages shadow drop after the direct. Wishful thinking.

Re: Reminder: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade 'Limited Early Purchase Edition' Offer Ends Next Week
I want so much to like this game but I really wish it had an option to go back to the original combat. The realtime stuff just doesn't do it for me.
Re: All Nintendo Switch 1 & 2 Games With Analogue Trigger Compatibility (That Work With The GameCube NSO Controller)
I have Grid Legends preordered. Need a good sim racer. Also, Nintendo, please go back to Analog triggers, it's so dumb they went to digital.
Re: Super Mario Bros. Wonder + Meetup In Bellabel Park Arrives On Switch 2 In March
Can't wait for them to show it off in the direct and the announcer saying the name 5 or 6 times. Super Mario Bros. Wonder + Meetup in Bellabel Park!
It's too damn long

Re: Cronos: The New Dawn Is Getting An Easy Difficulty Setting In Early 2026
Yeah. I've been stuck for a month now. Gave up on it. Swarmed by the infected goo people and can't get past.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 System Update 21.1.0 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Why can't Nintendo actually tell us what the updates do? It's hilarious and such a basic thing to not include.

Re: Video: Square Enix Shares 37 Minutes Of Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake 'Seabed' Gameplay
@topsekret I also will not be buying the gkc. All digital and stored on my own physical media called a micro SD express card.
Re: Video: SEGA Shares "First Look" At Yakuza Kiwami 3's Combat Gameplay
I think it's safe to assume all games are key card unless otherwise specified. No need for it in the title every time. It's kind of annoying

Re: Aspyr Brings Deus Ex Remastered To Switch Next February
@illmatic20xx doesn't look like it needs one. Very poor effort after just watching the dynasty warriors 3 remastered trailer

Re: Square Enix Shares Close-Ups Of Stunning Chrono Trigger Character Artwork
