Problem with Key Cards is that publishers aren't going to say that's the reason for low sales, they'll say that the consumer prefers to play on other platforms.
Taking the same stance I had with PS4 to PS5, gonna wait till it's had a few months in consumer hands, hear the word on the street and wait for a revised version, maybe a special edition one.
Saying that, I haven't bought a PS5 yet and recently I decided I don't think I'll ever buy one.
I see the problems, I don't think there as bad as they're made out, but this where I want Pokemon to go. Open World and Pokemon interacting with the environment. Next should be quests, leading to a MMORPG.
@Oldstalk I think it's going to set an unachievable high bar for other games. I don't think it'll affect Nintendo so much, but PS5/Xbox, I'd imagine the only games being played on those consoles once GTA6 comes out will be Fortnite, Fifa and GTA6.
Seeing TotK so far behind BotW, thinking of the factors that were in play there. People saying it's the same game Not liking the open world / no dungeon format No special items
There was a guy who used to comment on here that he had to trek down a mountain to get an Internet connection. I can't imagine they would be remotely interested in a Switch 2 right now.
I heard the Assassin part is as close to a Tenchu game as it can get. That alone has me interested in this game. Not interested in Samurai stuff, fatigued from Ghosts of Tsushima.

Re: Nintendo On Why The Mario Kart World Album Isn't Available For Nintendo Music

High price tag, bad press, but I'm sure it'll have another shot closer to Christmas.
Re: Random: This Upcoming PS5 'Cozy Life Sim' Certainly Rings A Bell
Nintendo will shut this down and then whoever is developing this game will say Nintendo ruined their life.
Just another rinse and repeat chancer.

Not watching it, so then for me, it hasn't happened.

Re: Review: Star Wars Outlaws (Switch 2) - An Underrated Adventure, A Super-Solid Port

Agree with @Yoshi3 there, Sea of Thieves would be great.

Re: Tekken 8 On Switch 2 Would Be "A Lot Of Work", But Director Isn't Ruling It Out
Let's be real, it'll be on a Game-Key card, will flop because of that and then we'll never see a Tekken game on Nintendo again.

@Oldstalk I think it's going to set an unachievable high bar for other games.

Re: Here Are The Top Ten Best-Selling Nintendo Switch Games As Of March 2025

Not liking the open world / no dungeon format
No special items
Re: SNK Announces ACA NEOGEO Selection Vol. 5 And Vol. 6 For Switch
They should do a "build you own" version
Re: Former Rockstar Dev Throws Shade At Mario Kart World, Says New GTA Will Be Worth The Price
I have this weird feeling about GTA6, I generally believe it's going to change the landscape of gaming.
But I do love Mario Kart.
Re: Former Assassin's Creed Lead Isn't Happy About Switch 2's Game-Key Cards
There was a guy who used to comment on here that he had to trek down a mountain to get an Internet connection.
I can't imagine they would be remotely interested in a Switch 2 right now.
Re: Reminder: Nintendo Switch 2 Launches Worldwide Next Month
Not pre-ordered and not getting one for a while.
This Key Card stuff...
Plus I have plenty to catch up on the Switch.
Re: Talking Point: Will You Be Buying Any Game-Key Card Switch 2 Games?
Right now, it's okayish, but Nintendo could pull the plug on the download process making them useless.
It's the longevity that makes me dislike them.
Re: Video: Nintendo Shares More Footage Of Zelda: Wind Waker For Switch Online
In some parts, I prefer the visuals on GameCube version over the HD one.

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Switch 2 Rating Spotted Online
I heard the Assassin part is as close to a Tenchu game as it can get. That alone has me interested in this game.
