I love It Takes Two, so I'm super interested in this game, but I have one major issue. I only buy physical, but now that I know you can play games directly off the microSD Express & therefore no longer have to worry about constantly moving things around, I've warmed to the idea of the key cards. The problem is that this is a code in a box. Why?! Nintendo went through all of the trouble of thinking of a solution to getting games on the system that are too big to fit on a cart only to still allow code in the box games. Key cards should have replaced them. I'm going to have to pass for that reason alone & that's super annoying.
@Sebos Agreed. CD Projekt Red managed to slim Cyberpunk down significantly for this release. There's no reason Hazelight couldn't have done the same except I imagine EA didn't care to give them the necessary time to make that happen.
@OorWullie That would be excellent, but knowing Nintendo, it's unlikely. I'm just hoping that we can play games directly off the SD Express. That would make me happy enough.
@tatanga @Moistnado Same. I've purchased almost 10 games from them & never had an issue. With the exception of 1 (which came about a week or so after the expected timeframe), every game has arrived within the timeframe they said & in the proper condition. I also love that their releases come with a booklet, something sorely missing in this gaming age.
Very disappointed to hear the console specific modes are missing, but I had Power Stone, Power Stone 2, & Project Justice on the Dreamcast, so this is a must-buy for me based on those games alone. I'm sure I'll eventually check out some of the other titles as well. I pre-ordered it in December, so I'm glad the wait is almost over.

@arabiansanchez Did you miss it at #5 on the chart?

Re: "A Must-Have Launch Title" - Digital Foundry Delivers Its Fast Fusion Verdict
@KITG_GROUP It took over 5.5 years for Fast Fusion to get a physical, but I waited & it paid off. I'll probably do the same for this one.
Re: Review: Genki's 'Mimic Chest' Stores All Your Switch 2 Games In Plain Sight, But We're Struggling To Understand Why
@mereel Agreed. Any option that doesn't show the whole cart is a non-starter for me.
Re: Review: Yakuza 0: Director's Cut (Switch 2) - A Series Highlight That's Never Looked Or Played Better
@Truegamer79 It's a negative for you & it is for me as well, but in today's digital landscape, it simply isn't for most people.
Re: Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom And Link's Awakening Are Improved On Switch 2, But It's Not Perfect
I noticed the stutters in both games, but I'm not a stickler for framerates, so they didn't bother me at all. Very minor.
Re: Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom And Link's Awakening Are Improved On Switch 2, But It's Not Perfect
@KayFiOS Why be worried? There's literally a list of what games won't work on Nintendo's website. Hint: the only first party game on the list is Labo.

@Sebos Agreed. CD Projekt Red managed to slim Cyberpunk down significantly for this release. There's no reason Hazelight couldn't have done the same except I imagine EA didn't care to give them the necessary time to make that happen.

Re: Nintendo Appears To Have Updated Mario Kart World's Switch 2 File Size
@CriticalHit Instead of hoping, just look it up. All of the incompatible games & ones with issues are listed on Nintendo's website.
Re: Feature: Limited Run Talks Switch 2 Game-Key Cards, Huge Carts & Difficult Pitches
@FormerGameAddict That would be great, but not every game will fit on the 64GB cart, so that's very unlikely to happen.

Re: Feature: Limited Run Talks Switch 2 Game-Key Cards, Huge Carts & Difficult Pitches
@HugoGED Same & I don't mind waiting a bit longer & paying a bit extra either. My backlog is long. I have plenty of patience.

Re: 'EA Sports Madden NFL 26' Switch 2 File Size Seemingly Revealed
@AnonyQ I would. If that's what it took to get every game physically on the cart, so be it.
Re: Switch 2 "Code-In-A-Box" Physical Game Listing Spotted Online
@Shiiva It's not a mistake. The game is 73GB. It won't fit on the biggest cart.
