@Sindayl the game is 10gb on switch 1 and it's 23,8 gb on switch 2.
15 gb seems to be the switch 2 upgrade + the 1.2 update.

I was waiting for the physical switch 2 edition but the switch 1 version was 33€ on amazon.fr, I just bought it and when the switch 2 edition will be release the switch 1 version will be for my son

Just a little correction for the article's title:

Resident Evil Requiem's Switch 2 "Physical" Release Includes A Lenticular Edition

Big third parties being put to shame by indies once again. No excuse for all the gkc version when indies do real physical version.

@ButterySmooth30FPS other exemples star wars outlaws 50gb on pc 19gb on switch 2, yakuza zero director's cut 95gb on pc 45gb on switch 2.
Split fiction 85gb on pc 69gb on switch 2, ac shadows is 115gb on pc 62gb on switch 2, Hogwarts legacy 85gb on pc 24gb on switch 2. I know it's not the same engine... but they could all reduce the size of the games on switch 2.
Square support was great on switch 1, on switch 2 they really drop the ball with the gkc, no upgrade path...
But all that doesn't change the fact that FF remake is a bad remake of a great game.

Cyberpunk is 90gb on ps5, 60gb on switch with a real cartridge. FF remake isn't an open world, it's just a bad remake of the first 5 hours of an excellent game. If you really want to play it, it's really cheap on ps4 or ps5. I finished it on ps4 and it was an horror, they stretched the story so much and added stupid nomura twists it ruin the original story, if you want to play ff7 play the ps1 version it's a gem and if you want there is a lot of mods on pc to make it more modern that are so much better than what square did with remake.

Hades 2, yooka replaylee and now chromagun 2 getting real physical version on switch 2, puts third parties and the pokemon company to shame

@Willo567 I don't buy game key card because I want plug and play and the second reason is because games take too much storage space. did you see the price of sd express it cost a lot and I have a 256gb on my switch 2. Preservation is a bonus. And pokopia is gkc and still 70€...it's a pass for me, if the game was 20€ I woudn't care about it being a gkc but it's not a 20€ digital title like good job or the strechers, it's a 70€ full game.

Ok but the only thing I wanna know is will it have a real physical version ? If it's another GKC I'll pass and if it doesn't take too much place may be when it's 50/80% off I'll consider buying it on the eshop.

Ok it's a Gkc, I guess my switch 2 will mostly be a nintendo console this gen

It's great that it's on switch 2 but no physical version means I won't buy it on switch 2 right now may be when it's cheap on the eshop and they patch all the framepacing issues and made it 60fps, or may be when they release persona 3 royal reload on a real cartridge with all the dlcs in it.

Great but I have it on disk on my ps4, if it's releasing on switch 2 it will be a game key card and with the high price of sd express I can't afford it may be when 1tb sd express are 50€ someday. But right now key card are just too storage expensive, that one of the reasons I don't buy key card.

Great for people that like horror games and game key cards

I rather wait for a real physical copy even if it's the switch 1 version. But with no real physical version for switch 2, I'll wait for a big discount.

@Darthmoogle on gog it's a drm free version you can download the installer and then when you want to instal it you can, even is the store is close you don't need any internet. You own the file you buy. With others digital stores you buy a license to download the game from this store.

I still need to finish kiwami 1, and since 0 and 2 are game key card I won't play kiwami 3. I bought all the yakuza on gog last summer for 25€ I have them drm free why would I rent them on switch, if they did real physical version I would have bought them.

code in the box, 75gb download, 70€ and they already announce the end of the online... I'm glad I haven't supported these kinda sports games since the ps2. yearly games like this should be 35€ because you just rent the game for a year and you have to rent the next one if you want the support.

Shuntaro furukawa need to be fired, Iknew when they put an accountant instead of a developper it will be a bad thing. Nintendo is shooting himself in the foot, they are loosing their mind because of greed.

@Quinntendo @Misima
The listings here in france says that is not a game key card but a switch 2 edition https://imgur.com/a/XXCUvch
https://amzn.eu/d/jh4J6xw

@Mikey_205 it's not a key card the physical version is the switch 1 version and there is a Switch 2 upgrade for 1$

So if the game is installed on the sd express does it runs pourly ?
internal speed is 2100m/s, sd express is 800m/s, digital foundry needs to test this.
can anyone that bought the game try it ?

I'm not buying the game on a game key, I already have the game on luna, so I don't need another digital version but may be I'll buy it when the eshop version will be heavily discounted. I don't buy digital games full price except for indies.

70€ for the switch 1 version, the only game that was sold at that price was lego horizon even totk wasn't sold at that price in store here in france.

@Jack_Goetz final fantasy tactics is a free update. I'm ok with paying 1€ for the upgrade it's better than no upgrade at all and game key card only like beyond.

@Dman10 my kids (9 and 5) play their 3ds and switch and they are really happy I bought physical games. And I buy physical game because it's easier to share gzmes with my kids and because they don't take storage space on the switch1 and 2 , 3ds, wiiu... Cyberpunk physical doesn't take much of my storage space, the digital version would take 60gb nope. So no game key card for me and I don't have a ps5 and series because I hate the fact that you need to instal games to play on them and if you want to play more than 5 games you have to erase others, game key is even worst because at least on psbox most of the games are all on the bluray

Another third party, another game key card

this direct was a confirmation that nintendo direct lost all hype for me because I'll never buy a game key card and everytime they announce a new third party game, my only question is: game key card or real physical ? and this direct was really bad everything I wanted is GKC so I'll pass and may be some day If it's 5/10€ I'll consider them. And nintendo needs to give indies dev kits.

Switch 2 will be a game key card so I'll buy the switch 1 version

@PikminMarioKirby it's digital only on switch 2 and physical and digital on switch 1. It was written in the nintendo partner direct

Good But they forgot to put the game in the cart

@Willo567 I don't buy games on eshop at full price just indies. I mostly buy physical version, I only game on my switch. The last playstation I own was the ps4 And I bought may be 20 games on it, I hated the mandatory install for the disc because when I wanted to play another game I always had to erase another game because the 500gb memory what always full. On switch it was plug and play like it used to be. I have only 140gb left on my switch memory my 256gb is already full just with switch games from my backlog. I buy physical because I want to put the game and not have to wait for 60gb to download/instal everytime I want to play another game. I don't have xbox or ps console now because I don't like what they do with their console, so if nintendo do bad things I won't support the too, game key card is the worst of both world, it doesn't save any memory space, need big download and take place in the shelf for a piece of plastic. If a game is a game key card, I just play something else or wait for the game to be real cheap on eshop. I was so glad metal gear solid collection was announced on switch 1 but the physical was a real scam so I never bought the game physical or digital, I already played all the games when they released and I wanted a physical version for my collection, so I could replay them someday. Game key card are the worst thing and I'll never gonna buy any like I never bought any code in the box or bad physical version like the MGS collection on switch.

More game key card games to ignore ?

@HalBailman you can compare game's prices that are releasing at the same time, trails is full on switch 1 and ps5 for 60€. And on switch 2 it's in an empty cart for 70€.
Like raidou or no sleep for kaname date that released on the same time on ps5 switch 1 and 2 for the same price

Hogwarts, cyberpunk or yakuza zero released years ago on ps5 of course they are cheaper on ps5 right now than the stupid game key cards version

@HalBailman raidou switch 1/switch 2 GKC same price 50€.
No sleep for kaname date s1/GKC same price 50€.
Yakuza zero GKC 50€
Rune factory guardians of azuma switch 1 60€/switch 2 edition 70€ / steam 60€.

Split fiction GKC 50€ psxbox 50€

They are doing a Game key card and selling the game at a price like they did a real physical version. They are doing the same as EA, so I'll treat them like EA.

@HalBailman and trails is 10€ more on switch 2 than ps5 or switch 1 with nothing in the cart. I really don't understand the beneficial part for the customer. But The beneficial part for me is that I don't have to cancel my switch 1 preorder.

"we believe that those who have bought a Nintendo Switch 2 will be eager to play this title on it."
Nope I'm playing the switch 1 version on my switch 2. I not touching any game key card just like I never bought any code in the box on switch 1

@LavaTwilight Totally agree, They should try. Nisa sells collector editions for 100$/200$ they know that it will sell even if it cost more. I rather pay more for a real physical, in the last months i bought the hundred line last defense 76€ physical imported from the us instead of 60€ on the eshop and atelier yumia too because they didn't release physical versions here in europe.

I'm buying the switch 1 version for my switch 2, if a game is a game key I'll ignore it or buy the switch 1 version. Beyond the horizons will most likely be my last falcom game if they release just game key cards and no switch 1 version. I have all the games they release on switch 1, I love their games but I won't buy any game key it's the worst of both worlds

the game is 65gb on pc, it will most likely be smaller on switch 2. I would have bought it on switch 2 but my 256gb sd express was already full on day one with my switch 1 transfert and I didn't install all my games, I had a 1gb sd card on my switch 1. I think I have 100gb left on my console. If the game had a real physical version I'd buy it day one but since it's a game key card I'll stick with the amazon luna version I already "own".

I already preordered the switch 1 version for my switch 2, just like raidou. no game key card in my house. And When I'll finished it, it will go next to the two others somnium's cartridges I already own.

@LikelySatan i have 136 cartridges slot in my switch 2 case (24 for the case + 3xgame case of 36 slot +1 game case of 4) so I can have all the game I wanna play when I'm on holiday or just in my bed playing 😉

@AussieMcBucket I think they said base game because the dlcs won't be included just like nintendo did with the dlc for the switch 2 edition of breath of the wild.

@RobertCorwen I found this
https://environment.ec.europa.eu/news/new-law-more-sustainable-circular-and-safe-batteries-enters-force-2023-08-17_en

@Mando44646 it runs at 60 fps and have more aliasing it's 720p in handheld 1080p dock when the switch 2 version is 1080p in both mode. But it doesn't bother me since it runs at 60fps
If you want to see it switchcorner did a video comparing the versions
https://youtu.be/-sAVTWH-aAE?si=3qdhjTeaQxlS-SLw

@Doctor-Moo I bought the japan version for the switch 1 when it release and it's the same version as the digital version released in the west. and I bought the switch 2 update on the eu eshop

@Spider-Kev they released a switch 1 version in may. now it's a switch 2 edition version the switch 2 upgrade is in the cart like the zelda games, jamboree, rune factory azuma and kirby

I'm buying dk bananza and the switch 1 version for no sleep for kaname, no game key cards in my house. I bought raidou on switch 1 last month and it runs great on switch 2.

@Max_the_German switch 2 edition use 64gb switch 2 cart, rune factory use the same cart as mario kart world.
https://youtu.be/LAmlWuLdiaI?si=2hbaYZO-HYxaUyFc

@PharoneTheGnome it's not a upgrade, you have an option in the switch 1 game to activate a discount price for the switch 2 digital version on the eshop. I bought the digital deluxe for 15€ but you can buy the normal edition for 10€. It's the eshop version so it doesn't need the switch 1 cartridge.

The only news we need about sonic crossworld is will the switch 2 version be a game key card ? Because right now SEGA is doing a really bad job with the switch 2 versions, all game key no upgrade.

@StewdaMegaManNerd may be they changed the fur color. did you watch the direct they showed that you can change the fur color for Dk. or maybe it just the lightning for this picture.

I hope nihon falcom gives the western release to marvelous instead of nisa for futur titles, but if they keep doing key card, beyond on will be my last trails. I'm ok with the delay because I still need to start reverie, and than daybreak 1 and 2, And 1st chapter.
And nisa charging 10€ more for an edition without the game, what a scam ! I'll buy the switch 1 physical edition to play on my switch 2

Disappointing that the new camera isn't in the switch patch yet.
