Glad to see CDPR are supporting this, with new content as well (even though its the ultimate edition already). Hope the Switch 2 patch is fairly close behind the other platforms too, to show that near parity is possible.
@joeyflannel it's a fair question! There's a few considerations in that scenario, at least from my perspective. Firstly, I'd hope IO could optimise the game enough to fit on a 64gb card, given CD Projekt Red could get the entirety of Cyberpunk 2077 and the DLC on the same. Secondly, if for some reason it is justifiably bigger, I'd prefer they keep the 'core' or 'base' game on the cart, and leave any multiplayer or DLC/other game modes as downloads, so the cart is still playable in some state regardless. And finally, I'd probably rather they just stump up for a 128gb card, if that is an option by then - again CD Projekt Red were one of the very few to pay for a 32gb card for the Switch 1 (for the Witcher 3). And I would pay more for a game on cart, definitely the £10-15 more that I believe the card costs at most. Hope that all makes sense - and is just my feeling, not preaching for others to agree!
I bought Mario Kart World and Cyberpunk 2077 as my launch games - if Yakuza 0 and Hitman had been physical games on cart I would have got them too. They weren't, so I didn't. I really hope that by the time we get to games like 007 First Light, the message about key cards has landed.
Day one purchase for me - I loved the Witcher 3, and CD Projekt Red also take such care with their physical releases. Excited to get stuck into this (after I can put down Mario Kart!).
Looks like a cool way to tease the upcoming game - such a shame it didn't get a proper physical, on-cart release at launch, would have loved to pick this one up.
I'd like them to catch up with some of the Assassins Creed games that have never come to Nintendo platforms, starting with Unity and Syndicate. And I wouldn't mind some more Watch Dogs, particularly Legion, but happy to start with #2 given the first is on Wii U. And maybe a non-Wii Far Cry on Nintendo would be nice. Ubisoft have some good franchises they could easily dip back into that have skipped Ninty previously - caveat that I'd love these all to be on cart, please not download or key card.
I loved this collaboration - high art and Nintendo. I went to the Louvre a few years ago, partially to see this, and have an English physical of the software, which is a great souvenir.
I would have got Hitman and Yakuza as launch games if they had a proper physical release - as it is I'll just get Mario Kart World and Cyberpunk 2077. It definitely impacts my purchase habits.
Was a massive fan of TimeSplitters 2 and Future Perfect on Gamecube, and always held out hope for #4 on a Nintendo platform. A shame this hasn't come to fruition given the intent two years ago.
I was waiting for a Hogwarts Legacy review also - I appreciate there is some controversy around JK Rowling, but I think a review that covers both the the game itself and acknowledges any caveats is the best way to go, thereby better informing all and allowing them to decide for themselves. Or if it's a different reason (no/late interview copy provided etc.), then say so.
I love that they are still supporting this, and the way they handle updates, including adding 'a few secrets to be found by players'. A great example to other studios how to do it.
The more information the better! Much prefer the top 40. And in an ideal world, would also prefer the actual unit numbers themselves, assuming that information is available. Hard to appreciate the scale and volume without.

Re: Every Nintendo Switch 2 Physical Release With The Full Game On The Cart
Great resource, thanks for putting this together (and keeping it updated) - especially as it is a depressingly short list at the moment!

Re: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Has Sold A Staggering 50 Million Copies Since 2015
Played it on the Switch for the first time - now one of my favourite of all time. Incredible game.
