Unrelated to the topic, but SF6 on a game key card makes sense to me. I would buy a CHEAPER Mario Kart World, Splatoon 4, etc on game key cartridges because these games will be constantly updated/balanced that their original "game on a cartridge" would be different in years to come.

What I don't support though are games like Suikoden & Bravely Default on game key cards. There may be updates/patches to fix some bugs on them but they'll be as playable as the devs intended them to be on their original release versions compared to their patched versions in the future.

I was planning on getting it physical on Switch 2 (alongside TotK) hoping it includes everything on cartridge, expansion/DLC included. Now I'm just gonna cancel both and stick to my Switch 1 versions.

These Game Key cartridges makes sense if game is constantly getting updated like Fortnite or MMO RPGs etc. I would buy a cheaper (50€) Splatoon 4, Mario Kart World, etc on a a game key cards as I know these games will be getting balancing updates, DLCs, and new features. They won't be the same later on compared to their release state.

What fans? Nintendo fans? PS fans? 😜 Oh boy, there are loud minorities.

On topic, is the Breath of the Wild Switch 2 Edition includes the Expansion/DLC pass on cartridge?

@stinky_t
Yes you can play NS2 controllers on NS1 games (on NS2 hardware), and vice versa. The only exceptions are you can't use NS1 controllers on NS2 games that utilizes mouse controls.

I didn't get an invite because we don't play much on our main family account that buys shared games. But my kids play a lot in their accounts, I also play on my US account. That's messed up on Nintendo's "anti-scalper" algorithm. At least I got to preorder on Amazon and on my local retailer. I might cancel though as I'm waiting for a Zelda or Metroid themed Switch 2.

@Saints
This is my concern on DK Bananza as well. Maybe destroy -some would be okay, but destroy-all fun will wear off quickly.

@cyberrb25
If it's not on cart, then a Switch 1 cart with a key card for the upgrade pack would do.

If this is the case, then I'll have to cancel my Amazon France preorder (Zeldas, Jamboree, and even DK Bananza are only 60€, and 70€ for MKW).

@Liam_Doolan
I wonder if the Expansion Pass is included in the Switch 2 version?

Yeah I'm supporting Cyberpunk 2077 instead with full game on cartridge like I did on the Witcher 3 on Switch 1. Thanks CD Projekt Red!

So it's cheaper on Switch 2? I'm confused.

470€? Nah, I'll wait for a Metroid or Zelda limited edition if there will be. I was hoping 450€.

@Erigen
Or Tom Holland 🤣

When I saw it, I thought it was a "male" or a clone Samus antagonist for a second.

@RupeeClock @HeadPirate
I agree this is more restrictive. My kids can play Splatoon together using our main console (with multiple accounts set as its primary console) and my son's own Switch Lite (where it was set as his secondary console) where we bought Splatoon 3.

With the new system, Splatoon 3 "virtual cart" can now only be played with 1 console at once. Not to mention my son's Switch Lite needs to be updated every 15 days now.

It's great I think. As long as we can still play games on multiple accounts on our family account (set as primary console).

Edit:
I now realize it's worse.

ZELDA TP HD and WW HD baby!

@PJOReilly
Great review. That's what I did when I played it on the Wii U back then. Played on foot and explored everything I can that the game would let me. Then I got my Skell and explored and completed everything again that the game would let me. And lastly I've explored everything when I got the flight module. It was an awesome feeling.

I wouldn't have enjoyed and appreciated Mira much if I got flight early on because exploration becomes easy and lazy by then.

ARMS and BotW for me.

I think I saw someone made a dancing figure out of his daily walking/running routine.

@PKDuckman
There's a Blaster Master Zero trilogy physical? I didn't even know there's a 3rd game. 😅

Glad I didn't double dipped on the Switch earlier. I think I bought 1 or 2 of these on the 3DS/WiiU. Now it's time to buy this release.

SMB3 is the best 2D Mario. That's a fact.

3D World is the best 2.5D Mario & multiplayer.

Also looking forward for a left joycon (for movements) + right joycon mouse (for aiming+firing ) combo on the Switch 2.

@-wc-
You can really play with the mouse + KB on the Switch like Metro, Crysis, Wolfenstein, DOOM etc? (I bought them but only played them a little bit because of the controls). I didn't know the Switch supports mouse. I'll look into it, thanks.

@-wc-
Then just don't use the mouse feature? I don't see it as the only option for most games. I've lost track of this thread so I'll just give my reply to yours.

For me, I don't play shooter games on consoles since the PS1. I'm bad at aiming with the sticks unless it's implemented like Splatoon with gyro. I've tried other 3rd party games on the Switch with gyro and I couldn't stand them longer. Maybe the mouse functionality or support on the Switch 2 will solve that. Also planning on getting extra joycons just to use for that functionality. Who knows, Nintendo will support PC mouse?

Edit:
Also I don't see a problem having a small temporary table or surface (if you don't have one in your setup) to use the mouse functionality if you really want to use it. It's not like Nintendo should provide you everything for your convenience.

@dartmonkey
You'd buy that Super Soccer game? You and 2 other people? Get outta here. NSO is the best thing ever happened. I've bought my fair share of VC games on the WiiU/Wii and 3DS. I'm not paying 8€ or 10€ for each unless it's the best of the best games I really want. With NSO, we get to play or try games we didn't even consider looking if it was sold like VC individually.

@spottedleaf
Yeah because Nintendo or 3rd party accessory makers can't release a "dock" for the joycons which would make it more like a traditional mouse.

@-wc-
Pretty sure there will be a joycon "mouse dock".

This is on my 3DS backlog. Bring it to the Switch so I can add it as another backlog. 😂 I'll probably get it when its on 30-40€ range though. Not paying full price.

So it's 399€. I think that's okayish.

Give me Symphony of the Night port on Switch!

@WiltonRoots
Where's the physical is superior to digital crowd?

Half Life 3 confirmed 😅

Game changer!

I'll wait when it's 30 bucks. I already have the Wii and abd the 3DS versions.

That's good to hear. I can't remember how many right joycons I've ripped apart (damaging the joycon rails and ribbon) from the Switch tablet while playing ARMS. At least I can go back playing ARMS "safely" on the Switch 2. 😅

@Olliemar28 you okay, bruh?
