@KociolekDoSyta LOL. I kind of laughed when I read your arguement about no internet. I am sure that are some small scenarios of no internet, but it is not as hard to get these days. You can even access the internet on your Switch through your cell phone. Do you watch Netfilx or other streaming services at grandma's? Maybe it is a sign that grandma wants you to spend more time with her and not on your devices.

Stop pretending that you guys (gals) are collecting physical games for the future generations (like one of the letters talks about). If you have kids, they probably will be more interested in future generations console systems not the current ones. They might not even like video games. I have 2 grown kids. They both like the games that I am not interested in. And they play much less than I do. Your hoarder plan for future generations might just be yours and not theirs.

Re: Feature: 32 Games We're Dying To See On Switch 2

I have a PS5 for the big screen gaming but I love playing in handheld mode. I have Portal in addition to Switch but it ties me down to having to have a connection for streaming. Switch 2 would be perfect to bring those PS5 (or Xbox) games on the go. And before someone says Steam Deck, not interested in that.

Unlike many here, I could care less about the key cards and don't mind them. I purchase more digital games these days. PC is all digital and Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo are going towards that too. Physical games will become more rare. What worries me more, is the lack of announcements for more games from 3rd parties. Nintendo should be killing it in year 1 with 1st and 3rd party games.

When they release key cards, they are not targeting the people here on this site. They are targeting parents to get their Johnny something for birthday, Christmas, etc. Something that can be displayed in a brick and mortar stores and which can be wrapped as a present. Harder to do that with digital. These are not meant for older gamers or physical media lovers. If it wasn't for Johnny's parents, we would be digital only right now.

A lot of older gamers here like me refusing to go digital and most of them are vocal on this website. PC games are all digital as are movies and music. Yes, there are the old records and blue rays but those are now considered niche. Sony and Microsoft are starting to make moves towards digital and Nintendo is just following the trend. Can't stop it. The bigger question is: would you be willing to pay $10 or $20 more for physical edition over a digital version that would be cheaper? Because to sustain profit that would be the only option (for now) in my mind to continue with physical media.

Re: Feature: "Game-Key Cards Don't Sit Right With Us" - Lost In Cult Dives Into Its New Physical Games Line

This past weekend, I donated a bunch of my DVDs and bluerays as I never watched them due in part to having streaming services. I no longer have music CDs. I feel that video games are going to the same place and I have already given in. Life is too short to try boycott games for being on key cards or being digital. I still buy whatever happens to be cheaper but these days tend to favor digital over physical.

Re: Yakuza 0 Comparison Video May Give Switch 2 The Edge Over PS4

Dman10

@Wisps I always owned a PS console and occasionally an Xbox. I was a huge fan of PSP and Vita because those were more tailored towards the older audience. When Sony abandoned the handheld, I replaced my handheld playing with Switch (and will get Switch 2 in the future). I have my PS5 to play games on the TV, but I also love handhelds. Games like this Yakuza are a dream for me, because I can continue to play these games on the go while dabbling in Mario and Zelda. And no, I am not interested in PC (aka Steam deck). I can play these on my PS5 on the big screen but now get to bring them on the go (without being tied to streaming games).
