@kmtrain83 problem is you'll run out of storage really fast forcing you to delete and re-download back and forth, a real inconvenience that costs your time, patience and additional storage, while they profit.
Also, this is Ubisoft we're talking about, the "physical" release require a download on ALL platforms to work.
I'm a Star Wars fan but first and foremost, a gamer and collector so I'm not getting it because it's a key card. It looks like a very good port though, I'm impressed.
Totally disagree, after playing the demo I'm sold on this game. I don't see the story being an excuse for fight as a con, If anything that's badass for a mecha game.
Game is really good, graphics though, not so much on Switch. CrossWorlds on Switch doesn't look nearly as good as Team Sonic Racing which is one of the best looking third party games on the console.
@Anachronism exactly, WiiU is ignored but Nintendo was at the top of raw GPU power back in 2012 until PS4 launched at the end of 2013. Pikmin 3, an early WiiU title, demonstrated the system and Nintendo capabilities.
Switch 2 is not at the top but is capable enough, regardless Nintendo seems to be sticking with old engines that don't take full advantage of their own hardware, MKW and DK look fine but the system is capable of much more.
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.

Re: Review: Star Wars Outlaws (Switch 2) - An Underrated Adventure, A Super-Solid Port
@Dr_Awkward it is when you pay for a physical cartridge, it is supposed to be plug and play with no downloads.

Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Scores Free Single-Player Demo This Month
Game is really good, graphics though, not so much on Switch. CrossWorlds on Switch doesn't look nearly as good as Team Sonic Racing which is one of the best looking third party games on the console.
Re: Rumour: Sony Is Gunning For The Switch 2 With A Handheld, Dockable PS6
Whoever gets physical media right, that's the winner for me.

Re: Opinion: We Need To Talk About X Games
It's different for each game, if you can read the japanese title in katakana you'll know the intended pronunciation.
Drag "and" Drive
Sonic Shadows Generations
Daemon "Eks" Machina
Xenoblade "Cross"

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!

I don't think Top Ride will return
But the game looks just as good as the original, can't wait!

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: 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: 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

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: 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: 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"

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.
