@jojobar That's bs sorry. If Nintendo was concerned about game key cards they would've never released them. They are only "concerned" because enough people aren't falling for them. And a website quoting rumors isn't a reliable source. Nintendo could've been released smaller capacity SD cards but chose not to. It's like trying to close the barn door after the horse has bolted. Game key cards are pretty much here to stay. Even with smaller capacities watch companies move the goalposts on why they're sticking with this format going forward.
@UltimateOtaku91 The majority of third party games on PlayStation and Xbox are actually on the disc. I don't know why people keep running with this misinformation. Check out 'Does it play?' and you'll see that a lot of games actually have the full data on the disc. At most you may need to download a day one patch but even that's not necessary. You can just put the disc in and immediately start playing unlike with game key cards
@ShadowRJ I want to be optimistic too but I'm not holding my breath. A lot of publishers love game key cards and are trying to justify why they are a "good" thing. Once these companies get set on something, they rarely deviate from it. Putting out a survey is just to try and act like they care about what the consumers want. Nintendo is notoriously stubborn when it comes to certain issues and I just don't see them fully doing away with game key cards. They also can't stop other companies from using them now.
Nothing is going to change. These companies are not going away from game key cards no matter what. This is all performative in my opinion. They don't want people owning their games anymore, period.
The original Switch is readily available throughout the country. This price increase is just greed from Nintendo, period. I understand the tariffs situation but a lot of these companies are using that excuse to squeeze more money from consumers.
This one actually looks pretty good in my opinion. Seems like lessons were learned from the disaster that was 2142. It's also funny reading some of these comments that are coming off as petty and bitter because it's not going to be on Switch 2 as of now.😐 More games is always good in my opinion, especially for a new console
If people want an upgrade, Square is pretty much forcing you to buy the Switch 2 version knowing that a lot of people are against game key cards. Pretty slimy tactic.
Does Nintendo have a patent on the Wake Up feature when it comes to Switch consoles? This is a serious question. I never understood why a lot of third party controllers don't have that feature along with NFC and gyro support. It can't just be a cost measure.😐
It was, decent. Nothing groundbreaking and of course more game key card bs.🥴 Despite not selling well, publishers are still trying to force them on us.
Expensive and shallow.🥴 Just like the majority of mobile games. The Pokemon franchise has so much potential, especially when it comes to spinoffs. Pushing out stuff like this is ridiculous in my opinion.
I'm interested to see how this game will run on the original Switch. So far it looks really good. I couldn't care less about a Direct. I just want more information on this game however we get it
I've said it before, these companies aren't going away from game key cards. They are gaslighting people when it comes to the "benefits" of them. They don't want you actually owning your games anymore. And when SD card prices drop, they'll just move the goalposts on why they are keeping them. This is one of the worst decisions Nintendo has ever made in my opinion
This game has been out too long for it to still have performance issues. Another lazy port. I like the concept though but just can't excuse some issues that shouldn't be.
@sixrings Crazy isn't it? The next DF video that has something negative to say about an Nintendo product will be met with the typical fanboy rage and bashing.😆
It's weird and ridiculous how Nintendo hasn't given some developers dev kits. I would think they would want as many companies as possible to have kits to get games on their new console. I really don't understand the logic with this company sometimes
Yikes!🥴 This is really disappointing and unacceptable in my opinion. I don't know how anyone would be able to defend this. It's not good if the Switch 2 is already having performance issues this early in its lifespan.😐
Interesting how the original mode hasn't had a graphical update. I don't know why Nintendo didn't do it. Too resource heavy maybe? 🤔 Anyway the game seems fun. I never played a Mario Party game and this will be my first one when I get around to it in the future
@IronMan30 Smart idea. I do the same with Ubisoft games. I never buy them at launch. Wait a few months at least and it's usually on a massive sale. I can't remember the last game I bought at full price on or close to launch day.

Re: Nintendo Indie World Showcase August 2025 - Every Announcement, Game Reveal & Trailer
A decent showing. Mina the Hollower looks really interesting to me
Re: Metroid Prime 4, Elden Ring, Silksong All Playable At Nintendo's Gamescom Booth
What is this Silksong people speak of? Something mythical?🤔
Re: Apex Legends Switch 2 Performance And Resolution Upgrade Detailed
Almost 80 gigs is insane. With future updates this game may be at a 100 GB or more.🥴
Re: Nintendo Won't Let Charity Speedrunning Event Use Its Games Without Permission, Because Of Course
Has there ever been a company that fights good publicity/exposure as much as Nintendo?😐 This company is so arrogant it's not even funny
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Indie World Showcase Predictions - What Do You Hope To See?
Hades 2 and Blue Prince for me. I couldn't care less about Silksong. Far as I'm concerned it's vaporware
Re: Kirby And The Forgotten Land Switch 2 Trailer Showcases More New Mouthful Modes
I absolutely loved The Forgotten Land . More Kirby is always a good thing in my opinion
Re: Surprise! Nintendo Announces Indie World Showcase For Thursday 7th August 2025
At this point Silksong needs to be considered vaporware

Re: Nintendo Sends Out Second Game-Key Card & Physical Game Survey
@jojobar Companies release surveys all the time and most never follow up on them when it comes to what consumers want.
Re: Atelier Ryza Secret Trilogy Deluxe Pack Won't Offer Switch Upgrade Path Or Save Data Transfer
Some of these companies are really pushing the limits with certain tactics.

Re: Review: Dear Me, I Was... (Switch 2) - A Bold, Heartfelt, Wordless Visual Novel
That art style is absolutely beautiful. I rarely play visual novels but this one has piqued my interest. I'll wishlist it

Re: Mortal Kombat's Legacy Kollection Might Actually Get A Proper Physical Release On Switch 2
I'll believe it when I see it. It'll probably be like the MGS Collection. One/a few games on the cart and everything else needs to downloaded.

If people want an upgrade, Square is pretty much forcing you to buy the Switch 2 version knowing that a lot of people are against game key cards. Pretty slimy tactic.
Re: Reaction: Switch 2 Needed A Partner Showcase With Pep; This Wasn't It
One of the most average Directs I have seen in a while.
Re: Surprise! Bloober Team Is Bringing Sci-Fi Scares To Switch 2 With 'Cronos: The New Dawn'
One of my most anticipated games this year. It looks good so far in my opinion
Re: Apex Legends Gets A Switch 2 Upgrade & Release Next Week
Good for those who like this game. I played it for a little bit and realized it wasn't for me.

Re: Persona 3 Reload Is Making The Jump To Switch 2 This October
I'm almost sure it'll be a game key card.😐
Re: Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound Will "Average" 30fps On Switch
Interesting they didn't say it will be locked at 30 fps. Expect some performance hits.
Re: Animal Well Is Getting A Gorgeous New Physical From Lost In Cult
I'm glad I didn't get the digital version. I'll definitely pick this up when it's released
Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong Will Be Playable At Gamescom 2025
Temper your expectations people. We've been burned too many times when it comes to this game
Re: Review: Pokémon Friends (Switch) – Pretty Plushies, Puzzling Pricing
Expensive and shallow.🥴 Just like the majority of mobile games. The Pokemon franchise has so much potential, especially when it comes to spinoffs. Pushing out stuff like this is ridiculous in my opinion.
Re: Poll: So, Have You Tried Out Pokémon Friends On Switch Or Mobile Yet?
No, I'm never touching this. It doesn't look appealing at all to me
Re: Review: Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con 2 Wheel - Flawed, But Still Fun

Re: Random: Don't Worry Folks, Nintendo Says Mario And Peach Are Just "Good Friends"
Friends with benefits. Mario just doesn't want to put a ring on it.😏😄
Re: Review: Patapon 1+2 Replay (Switch) - A Pleasing Return For Some PSP Charmers
I loved these games on PSP but they could really be tough. I'll get these versions on discount. The backlog is crazy right now
Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Rating Spotted, Fuelling Nintendo Direct Hopes Again

Re: WWE 2K25 On Switch 2 Is Missing Certain Cross-Platform Benefits
Code in a box and missing features?😐
Re: NIS America: Trails Beyond The Horizon Switch 2 Game-Key Card Release Is "Most Beneficial Option" For Fans
I've said it before, these companies aren't going away from game key cards. They are gaslighting people when it comes to the "benefits" of them.

Re: Nintendo's Official Camera "Attach Rate" With Switch 2 Revealed For US
Nintendo should've just built a camera into the Switch 2 in my opinion.
Re: Random: DK Enthusiast Breaks Switch 2 In Bananas Spray Painting Job Gone Wrong
He's part of the reason companies put warning labels on products
Re: Nintendo's LEGO Game Boy Officially Revealed, Releasing October 2025
I'm definitely getting this. It'll be something cool for my son and I to put together. I'm glad the price is pretty reasonable
Re: Review: Wild Hearts S (Switch 2) - Monster Hunting That's Satisfying, If Unspectacular
This game has been out too long for it to still have performance issues. Another lazy port. I like the concept though but just can't excuse some issues that shouldn't be.
Re: Around 1 In 3 Switch 2 Owners Bought New Pro Controller Despite High Price Point (US)
It's not worth the price in my opinion for minimal upgrades compared to the original Pro controller

Re: Borderlands 4 Scores Nintendo Switch 2 Release Date
@TheExile285 Borderlands games are usually massive in storage size. I wouldn't be surprised if this one starts off at 60 gb before any DLC is added
Re: Borderlands 4 Scores Nintendo Switch 2 Release Date
Unless you really need it on or soon after launch day, I would wait. These games usually have discounts after a few months.
Re: New Pokémon Legends: Z-A Trailer Finally Gives Dragonite The Love He Deserves
I'm not buying this day one. Have to wait and see how it is technically. Recent Pokemon games have burned people when it comes to quality and features
