@PinderSchloss I didn't realise Nintendo Life were releasing games on Key Cards. Might start complaining about my local bus schedule on every article, will accomplish the same thing.
@BrokenCiv As does mine. My comment was a reply to them saying game key cards would eventually fail. Can't have it both ways claiming key cards will eventually fail and not acknowledging that every piece of tech will eventually fail.
@Lord Why do you need to have every game that you own installed at the same time? How many of them are you playing at once? There will be a time when your console or game card fails, so that's another pointless argument. You can still download your Wii games, and that console is 19 years old.
@Fake-news Did you read the article? It says you can only use the codes for the specific version of that code. It doesn't say if you've got a Switch 1 code that you can't redeem it on Switch 2.
@Spaceman44 Maybe because Nintendo have not done what you say. They sell all their games fully on a physical cart. You don't like Nintendo, we get it from your constant ramblings.
@Ajent The reason it appears I'm being condescending is despite it being very clear what the score for this is about because the editor told you, and also the fact that it has been clarified by many people in the comments, you've just ignored it completely. If you look at my first comment explaining this to someone, there was no facepalm or anything but since your comment was after it had been explained so often, I was understandably frustrated. You have also conveniently left out part of your quote about it being a focus. "evaluating what they add to the original experience, and whether they're worth your time - and they will be scored accordingly." The score is about what they add, not the game as a whole.
@Zyph It specifically says at the start that this is for the features and upgrades and if you're diving in for the first time, read the actual review of the game. It even links to the reviews.
Don't have a problem with it existing in offline play, but please don't mix it in with the 150cc online. It's basically a different game so there should be a separate 200cc online lobby for people that want it.
Fantastic game and I'm glad it's coming to a Nintendo console. Can we ban people whingeing about key cards? The console isn't even out and I'm already bored of this.
@Bigmanfan The only one embarrassing themselves here is you. For a start, he's not saying they aren't true, just that there's not enough proof to say they are true. You're the one that has the burden of proof here, not him.
@nessisonett The worst thing about that is the Gamestation on Union St was great before Game bought them and shut it down. F@*k. Mike Ashley! I also have to assume they're responsible for G Force closing.

@UltimateOtaku91 Not sure what you mean, because Fantasy Life also has skill trees.
Re: Drag X Drive Switch 2 eShop Price Revealed
@LastFootnote I think maybe doing this game as a game trial would probably work better than a demo.
Re: Rumour: Final Fantasy Devs Supposedly Hint At Another Nintendo Release
@KBuckley27 Nonsense. Day and date 3rd party games will sell.
Re: Nintendo Reportedly Banning Switch 2's Using MIG Cartridges
@HugoGED If it wasn't key cards, I'm sure you'd find another way to justify your theft.

Re: UK Charts: Nintendo Switch 2 Annihilates The Competition In Its Debut Week
@Khwarezm89 Thank god. If real life was as crazy as it is on here or the internet in general, it wouldn't be worth living.

@Boopero Would be great if the UK got as much stock as the US.
Re: Switch 2 Pro Controller Teardown Gives Us A Good Look At The New Sticks
I'd just like to be able to buy one. Decided not to pre-order one with the console and now regretting it as they are sold out everywhere.

@Blofse It's not actually on a TV, it's just a close up of the console.
Re: Review: The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - The Best Way To Play, But 'Zelda Notes' Sucks
@Ajent Because it's not a review of the game. If you'd read it you would know that. It's a review of the the new features and upgrades only.

@Ajent Read the actual review! 🤦🏼♂️
