Silksong this and Silksong that, but Yooka-Replaylee is my most anticipated "indie' game and I'm glad I'll be able to pick it up on NS2 since it's a cartridge. I'll sit nicely next to my original Yooka -Laylee switch physical copy.
Seriously do yourself a favor and migrate to PS5 for third party games if you care about physical games, take control and stop waiting for breadcrumbs from Nintendo. That's what I did, Switch 2 has been the most disappointing Nintendo console ever.
@DKG-85 I don't trust Sony will keep physical media alive either, but for now they are doing a better job than Nintendo. If physical media ever disappears I'd probably stop collecting and just play the essentials alongside the backlog I've built.
The first non-smash bros game Sakurai is making in almost 15 years, a new Kirby game he's making in more than 20 years and it happens to be a sequel of one of it's best works. People don't know the significance of this game, it's Sakurai's dream game and I'm happy I'm alive to withness this miracle.
@LavaTwilight exactly what would happen, physical buyers tend to care more about what's on the box and paying what's worth it than saving a few dollars. Digital buyers only care about saving money and convenience, key cards appeal to neither audience.
People here can't handle a frame drop, yet they somehow can play GameCube on NSO with input lag, now that's unplayable and I feel bad for anyone experiencing Wind Waker or F-Zero for the first time via NSO.
@Dazman that's because they are not direct competitors. Unlike, let's say Sonic Racing or even Fast Fusion, Kirby Air Ride plays like a fast paced-surfing-party-combat-racer. You can even exit your vehicle and walk if you want to, better go blind with no expectations for this game and you'll be surprised.
@ShieldHero that's the first mistake, you don't compare Mario Kart with Kirby Air Ride, heck, it doesn't even compare to anything out there. Air Ride is almost it's own genre.

It's different for each game, if you can read the japanese title in katakana you'll know the intended pronunciation.
Drag "and" Drive

Re: Where To Pre-Order Kirby Air Riders For Nintendo Switch 2
That logo... so uninspired, specially compared to the original Kirby Air Ride.
Re: Kirby Air Riders Direct: Every Announcement - How Would You Rate It?
10/10, the racing king is back!
I really hope Top Ride is in the final game though.
Re: Here's A Look At The Official Box Art For Kirby Air Riders On Switch 2
@N00BiSH agree, the logo is horrendous.
Re: Kirby Air Riders Zooms Onto Switch 2 This November
Ha, where are the "Kirby Air Ride sucks" people now? Take that!
Re: Kirby Air Riders' City Trial Mode Looks Just As Bonkers As We'd Hoped
I don't think Top Ride will return
But the game looks just as good as the original, can't wait!
Re: Feature: 32 Games We're Dying To See On Switch 2
That would be 32 key cards, I'll check them out on PS5 thanks for the list.
Re: Oops, Bandai Namco May Have Leaked The Next 'Tales' Series Remaster
Nice, might get it on the original Switch or PS5 but definitely not on NS2.
Re: Nintendo Patent Featuring Crank And "Clickable Wheel" Attachments For Joy-Con 2 Surface
They are making a Playdate now?
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Indie World Showcase Predictions - What Do You Hope To See?
Yooka-Replaylee full on cartridge is all I need.
Re: Atelier Ryza Secret Trilogy Deluxe Pack Won't Offer Switch Upgrade Path Or Save Data Transfer
Seriously do yourself a favor and migrate to PS5 for third party games if you care about physical games, take control and stop waiting for breadcrumbs from Nintendo. That's what I did, Switch 2 has been the most disappointing Nintendo console ever.
Re: Switch 2 Has Sold "More Than 6 Million" Units, And Almost As Many Copies Of Mario Kart World
@DKG-85 I don't trust Sony will keep physical media alive either, but for now they are doing a better job than Nintendo. If physical media ever disappears I'd probably stop collecting and just play the essentials alongside the backlog I've built.
Re: Nintendo Reconfirms Release Windows For Major Upcoming Switch 2 Games
In Kirby Air Riders I trust.
Re: Switch 2 Has Sold "More Than 6 Million" Units, And Almost As Many Copies Of Mario Kart World
Key cards seem to be here to stay and I'm abandoning ship.

Re: Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase July 2025: Every Announcement, Game Reveal, Trailer
@Nintoz Sonic Racing getting the VIP treatment stills makes me happy, so disappointing that's not the case with P3R.
Re: Persona 3 Reload Is Making The Jump To Switch 2 This October
It's confirmed to be a key card, check the official japanese site for P3R Switch 2.
Re: Apex Legends Gets A Switch 2 Upgrade & Release Next Week
I played hundreds of hours of Apex on Switch, if this supports mouse controls I'm definitely coming back.
Re: Random: DK's Fur Gets Brighter In Bananza When He's Powered Up
So that's why! I thought it was just the way global illumination works in different environments lol.
Re: Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion Drops Two New Gameplay Videos
Have it pre-ordered. Remember this game is a full on-cartridge release.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Partner Direct Predictions - What Do You Expect To See?
Expect 90% of games announced being a key card.
Re: Mario Kart World Has Been Updated To Version 1.2.0, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Why make COM weaker in everything? Is not like it's too difficult, got 3 starts on 150 mode without any problem in Knockout Tour.
Re: Guilty Gear Switch Edition Update And DLC Arriving Fall 2025
Looking forward to play as Lucy from Cyberpunk!
Re: Review: Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con 2 Wheel - Flawed, But Still Fun
Why is it so tiny, it's not even close to the Wii Wheel which was actually ergonomic and fun to use for games like MKWii, Excite Truck and NFS.
Re: NIS America: Trails Beyond The Horizon Switch 2 Game-Key Card Release Is "Most Beneficial Option" For Fans
@LavaTwilight exactly what would happen, physical buyers tend to care more about what's on the box and paying what's worth it than saving a few dollars. Digital buyers only care about saving money and convenience, key cards appeal to neither audience.
Re: NIS America: Trails Beyond The Horizon Switch 2 Game-Key Card Release Is "Most Beneficial Option" For Fans
Thank you for the benefits, I'll show my gratitude by not buying it.
Re: Japanese Charts: Donkey Kong Bananza Sells A Bunch, But Can't Beat Mario Kart
Guess DK is not as big in Japan as I thought.
Re: Random: DK Enthusiast Breaks Switch 2 In Bananas Spray Painting Job Gone Wrong
This was painful to watch.
Re: Borderlands 4 On Switch 2 Will "Mostly" Run At 30fps
30 fps: ok
Download required to play: not ok
Re: Random: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Actor Hasn't Played A Video Game Since Super Mario 64
He clearly said he's not a gamer, he's just doing his job.
Re: Ubisoft's Yves Guillemot Is Hopeful That Upcoming Switch 2 Port Can Revive Star Wars Outlaws
It was a day one purchase for me until I found out it's a key card. You almost got my money Ubisoft, almost.
Re: Round Up: 10 Switch 1 & 2 Games We Played BitSummit 2025 - Here's What We Thought
They had Earthion on a Mega Drive hooked up to a CRT and I beat it there, awesome game.
Re: Sonic Racing: Crossworlds On Switch 2 Will Feature The Full Base Game On Cartridge
This made my day, another third party game to look forward to and actually buy on Switch 2.
Re: Sonic Racing: Crossworlds On Switch 2 Will Feature The Full Base Game On Cartridge
@DonkeyKongBigBoy no one is forcing you to buy the cartridge, go buy your key cards or digital games.
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Director Acknowledges Performance Drops: "We Prioritized Fun And Playability"
People here can't handle a frame drop, yet they somehow can play GameCube on NSO with input lag, now that's unplayable and I feel bad for anyone experiencing Wind Waker or F-Zero for the first time via NSO.
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Director Acknowledges Performance Drops: "We Prioritized Fun And Playability"
Who cares about some performance drops, the game looks smooth and fun.
Re: Sakurai Gives An Update On 'Kirby Air Riders' And Pays Tribute To Iwata
@Dazman that's because they are not direct competitors. Unlike, let's say Sonic Racing or even Fast Fusion, Kirby Air Ride plays like a fast paced-surfing-party-combat-racer. You can even exit your vehicle and walk if you want to, better go blind with no expectations for this game and you'll be surprised.

Re: Inti Creates Unveils New "Paper Craft" 2D Action Game For Switch 2, Out October
Glad to see a proper cartridge physical release.
Re: DK Bananza Devs "Needed To Know More About Donkey Kong," So They Went To Miyamoto
Yet he won't be in the credits.
Re: Exclusive: Upcoming Fast Fusion Update For Switch 2 Introduces Photo Mode
@Jhena same, but for now let them finish the game, they keep adding stuff constantly.
Re: Random: Final Fantasy 14 Director Thinks "Aspiring" Game Devs Should Play Echoes Of Wisdom
Echoes of Wisdom was my GOTY last year.
Re: Fantasy Life i Switch 2 Physical Release And Photo Mode Update Announced
Nowadays "on the cart" is the new physical, since "physical" alone doesn't tell much anymore. This might be next third party NS2 game.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Star Wars: Rogue Squadron
@Sambuc Rebel Strike is also my favorite. The variety of missions, land vehicles and multiplayer modes were a blast.
Re: Poll: How Many Hours Have You Spent In Mario Kart World So Far?
Haven't even opened my other launch games yet because I can't put Mario Kart World down, 80 hrs in.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom And Breath Of The Wild Updates Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
When is the Zelda notes update releasing for WiiU so I can use it on the GamePad instead of my phone while playing the game?
Re: Furukawa's Defence Of Game-Key Cards Ain't All That Convincing
@kmtrain83 exactly, installing from the CD is still a 100% physical offline format I support, whenever that's actually the case with PS5 games.
