I'd happily pay a bit extra if a cart contained the full game and also some extra empty room that can be written to.
That way, all updates to games can be written to that part of the cartridge. Then it wouldn't take up space in the internal memory AND the cart contains a fully up-to-date game. If Nintendo goes bankrupt for some reason and all servers are down: you still have the complete game with all updates available.
Also in places where there is no internet, eg. on the go I can easliy lend my game cart to a friend who is setting next to me, but the day 1 patch can't be downloaded then obviously.
I know this might be a bit more expensive, but I would really like this.
As for the key-carts: same as code-in-a-box, I dislike both of them. But if games are only available that way, then I will buy them that way.

Yes, but the thing is, there has ALWAYS been a (free) companion-app in the eStore, which you can download on any Switch and use to join a multiplayer game hosted on another Switch which does have the full game.
It seems really nice, but it should have contained two more ports, one on each side and/or the top.
Now it's €20 for 1 extra port. If you're running in in table-top mode and want to charge it, use the camera en have a wired controller... Or you want to charge and use 2 wired controllers, you're already out of luck.
Better wait for another type with more ports then.
