@Zealv2 uhh... aren't game key cards don't have the software, prompting you do following the instructions do download the rest of the data to the card, as I read on the North American Nintendo Support page?
"Game-key cards are different from regular game cards, because they donβt contain the full game data. Instead, the game-key card is your "key" to downloading the full game to your system via the internet."
I honestly don't see what the problem is with game key cards. Yes they don't contain the whole data, prompting you do download it after you insert it. But you the downloaded data will stay in the key card rather than your Nintendo Account and it can be resold or lended to someone else. It's like recording a movie or show on a blank VHS tape, and while i prefer game cards with the full data in, I don't know what's the fuss about with the key cards.
My question: Is the Switch 2 still region free like the original Switch? And while the Donkey Kong Bananza game looks fun, will we get a 3D Super Mario game soon?
Yeah it's sucks that the eShop still doesn't add any menu music, but achievements is something that I honestly could care less about and it's a minor thing to get so up in arms about.
I'm still getting the game, no matter what. If you folks still don't want to buy due to it's high price, that's your decision that I'll respect. But for me, I'm still buying it.
@Xenoblade-Fan well said. And while I'm not a fan of the $80 price tag for certain Switch 2 games, I'm still going to buy the console and it's games. Whatever the price is, I'll just deal with it. Because personally feel that a Switch was long overdue for a successor since it had a good long run despite it still selling like hotcakes.
For me it's Mario Kart World, BOTW and TOTK Switch 2 Editions, Fast Fusion, Nintendo GameCube classics, Street Fighter 6, Fortnite, Donkey Kong Bananza, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, and Metroid Prime 4 Beyond.
For me, it was average at best. But I was not surprised. They were winding down on Switch games since they're about turn attention to the Switch 2 next week.
All the leaks did was damage the console's surprise. Although I find leaks to be disrespectful for a company, they won't change my decision in buying it. Now to see what games will be launching with the new system.
@Kiliomp They only showed a quick tease of a game that's still early in development, so that's probably why you are seeing graphics that looks "15 years old." Beside they graphics that you are currently seeing may not be in the final version.π€·ββοΈ
@Reztobi well said. That was why when Super Mario 3D All-Stars came out for a limited time, I got the physical version because I knew that if I waited to long for the digital version, I would never be able to reset the clock and get the game.
It's very irritating when I game you been planning to buy later on gets removed without warning.
It's far too late now. I was forced to purchase all three in one package just to play Asylum and City while skipping Knight (there's a reason for that, at least for the Switch version)

Re: Street Fighter 6 Releasing Final 'Year 2' Fighter Alongside Switch 2 Game Launch
Since Elena is final fighter on the Year 2 list, does that mean there's going to be a Year 3 or is Capcom finished with DLC fighters for this game?

@Zealv2 and you have trouble being respectful, even to those you don't agree with.

Re: Nintendo Expects You To Pay For Its Switch 2 "Welcome Tour" User Guide
I don't understand why this could be released as a free pre-installed game. It looks more like a tech demo to me.
