I'm curious as to just how many Nintendo Switch 2 games will have the Game-Key Card as a purchase option and just how popular this will be. There have been various reactions on the Nintendo subreddit about this announcement. Some people are concerned about the current state of physical media. User TheChronoCross said, " Requires the cart, the server, an internet connection, and I'm willing to bet an account to be associated with the download. Any of those links interrupted due to licensing or depreciation and the cart is worthless ." However, user ValtsuMC notes that this is an overall positive for consumers, stating, " A key card would allow you to redownload and run the game while showing Nintendo that you've got a legitimate copy of the game ."
