@Edd-O Crimzon Clover World EXplosion, yeah i ordered this and have now given up all hope of seeing this on my doorstep sadly. With strictly limited a reasonable possibility.
@Sambuc no mate, they suck. The worst thing about collecting is the environmental impact of producing and shipping this stuff. When it’s contains just a unlock code that’s just pointless.
@Kiyata totally agree, unfortunately some people don’t like to wait for a finished product and moan about it. LRG can’t win in this situation and tbh that’s not fair on them.
@Joe11 during the pre production phase which is around 4 weeks anyone can order as many units of game they want, thats not promoting a scarcity model. I'm sure LRG would be happy to manufacture tens of thousands of each of product.
@Spider-Kev Wrong, stop spreading misinformation. Going by the “Does it play” website of the 500+ games they have tested on switch 93% are perfectly playable without any major issues affecting gameplay.
@Gohanjin that’s fine with ps5 at least you can play the broken game on disc, well apart from Indiana Jones which is basically game key. Sadly in a few short years we’ll be dreaming of barely playable games on cart/ disc if/when game key kicks in.
@SBandy1 it’s just a sellable digital download. Game is not worth any more than the onsale store price which capcom seem to regularly take part in. Infact probably less duo to the trouble rummaging around to play the cart.
Available for selected games, a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is a bundle that includes the original Nintendo Switch game and its upgrade pack, which enhances the game to take advantage of the capabilities of Nintendo Switch 2.
Contents and enhancements of the upgrades differ depending on the game. They can include visual improvements, new features, or additional game modes. Features and content of Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games can only be played on Nintendo Switch 2. If you already own the original Nintendo Switch game, as either a physical or digital version, you can upgrade to the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition by purchasing the game's upgrade pack via Nintendo eShop, My Nintendo Store or at retailers. After you upgrade, the original Nintendo Switch game can still be played on Nintendo Switch, though the features and content of the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition can only be played on Nintendo Switch 2. Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members can download selected upgrade packs at no additional cost
@MrCarlos46 do you really think Nintendo will be that generous? I'm going to guess the switch 1 cartridge will dump data onto the internal memory of Switch 2 which will then run through emulation. This will happen with all the Switch 1 cartridges. Sorry to disappoint
@Friendly I've preordered Switch 2 but sure as hell won’t buy digital from Nintendo with their track record. So mostly1st party stuff.
I'm going to get a SteamDeck with the cash I’ll save not buying these game key products. I'd recommend this to everyone, sorry guys welcome to the future 😕
@Medic_alert hmmm, seems like if there’s text on the front of the box it’s bad news, either one of these keycard games or a Switch 1 cart with upgrade store code.
@KITG_GROUP I’ve done exactly the same as you today. Fingers crossed for day 1, if the game prices don’t drop I’ll be playing Switch 1 games on this thing for a while. Good upgrade from the Lite.
@ChakraStomps well it started with intent to play and then spiralled into a mostly sealed collection of great games I don’t want to part with. I went in strong thinking this is the last generation for physical.
These game prices make me sad, currently sitting on 600+ physical games for Switch 1 but now I’ll probably get a Switch 2 just for major 1st party games at these unpleasant prices. Oled steamdeck for the future as i refuse to be tied to a ecosystem of either Nintendo or Sony. I don’t trust them.
I’d have preferred the wonderful LocoRoco 1+2 remastered. Still you never know, it could easily happen if this sells well enough. I’ve been interested in getting these for PSP for years but never got around to it, will now.

@Dee123 well, everyone else has, so yeah that’s going to happen. Just be more sure what you want from them.

Re: Nintendo: "Physical Games Are Still A Key Part Of Our Business"
@NorrinRadd and that’s great for you but some of us like moving boxes around. It’s about choice, and the consumer should have that.
