Do you think this encourage 3rd parties to start putting full physical games on the Switch 2 or will they still cheap out with Game Key Cards?

that survey worked fast

>>717287126 (OP)
Too little too late, Switch 2 is on route to becoming another Pii U.

>>717287372
sure it is eric. sure it is.

I wonder what excuse will the jews use now to keep cheaping out and stick to the key cards

>>717287372
meanwhile, in reality

You'll be getting 128GB carts and you'll like it. Indie and other poorfags can seethe

The new avenues that this could lead into are
>128GB MicroSD Express
>32GB MicroSD Express
>16GB MicroSD Express
I think 32GB will be the de-facto middleground decision for AA and indies.

>>717287126 (OP)
Oh wow. Can I get a physical copy of The Adventures of Elliot?

>>717287126 (OP)
I thought it was pretty obvious that the size limitations was just a launch period thing, not much will change to the key card haters tho, most third parties using key cards already have games that would need the 64gb card regardless, they just want to maximize their profits

>>717287126 (OP)
As long as they do it fast, so the key card bullshit can die before real games start coming out and be remember as an early gen mistake only used for ports.

>>717287901
That's true, but at least it will be an incentive to indies to produce physical copies. I always assumed Nintendo would keep making physical copies of first party titles and the push for key cards or digital only was pressure from third parties, and that seems like that was the case.

some developers were using key carts for shit that's not even bigger than 10gb. of course not.

>>717287901
I'm also worried about this

>>717287126 (OP)
>More Nintendo Switch Cart Sizes are being made
Great. How about they making some fucking GAMES for those carts already.

Indies used to not even have physical releases aside limited run scam stuff, physicalfags are retarded

Doomsisters, we’re running out of shitposting material to claim that the Switch 2 is failing…

I doubt Nintendo was going to put 1st party games only on key cards anyways. This was always for third parties.

Kek you said the same 8 years ago

>>717287126 (OP)
>Do you think this encourage 3rd parties to start putting full physical games on the Switch 2
Of course not lol

Will this make Dk cheaper?

>>717288345
They could make reprints on smaller carts but I doubt they'd lower the price accordingly. It's best to hope it will simply be the case for future games.

I think PS6 will be digital only at this point, the handheld will be there for that reason.

>>717288229
The Kingdom Hearts HD Remasters were on the PS3 Bluray discs, which were dual-layered releases 50GB. The PS4 release were also stored on the 50GB single disc Bluray. A Switch 2 cartridge could only house KH1, 2, Chain of Memories HD Remaster without compression on the 64GB cartridge. The problem is Kingdom Hearts 3 is 50GB alone, 70GB with the DLC. They'll have to release 3 cartridges which means the games will cost beyond 50 dollars.

The entire Kingdom Hearts collection is 30 dollars physical on PS4. It would be a tough ask to see SquareEnix eat the costs of 3 cartridges for 60 dollars release, but then again EpicGameStore and Steam versions of Kingdom Hearts games are 90 dollars for the whole shebang.

>>717287914
Switch 1 already had a 32 GB cart and that was still too expensive for certain developers

>>717288065
Indies can just release switch 1 games anon.

>>717288494
Square are just greedy lol

>>717288103
?

>>717288494
Cyberpunk 2077 was 102 GB on PS4, 60 on PS5 and also 60 on Switch 2 but with Phantom Liberty included. Compression technology marches on.

>>717288464
Dumbass. 60% of Sony's business are physical games from the leaked ImsoniacGames ransomware paperwork. Stop posting in threads you don't comprehend Gen Z ADHD retard. You digital only people are transparent as HVI carrying wolves. The PS5 Pro isn't the most popular version of the console either, get a load of this guy. Now if Death Stranding 2 was digital only, you could make a case. But sony's 1st party are all still feature complete disc releases.

>>717288103
2 months in and the switch 2 already has more worthwhile exclusives than the pis5 lmao

>>717288494
So square is greedy AND incompetent

>>717288501
The 32 GB Switch 1 cart was the equivalent to the 64 GB Switch 2 one in terms of costs.

>>717288081
Having a game that was too small a size is one of the main reasons they would use a key-card since they'd be paying for all that empty space. It's not like Borderlands 4 that's 40GBs but is still a key card

>>717288620
Damn, that's some excellent compression. Good point. I could see those 50GB PS4 era games getting dropped. IIRC Nier Automata on Switch 1 is also all on the cartridge (which was topped at 32GB max) and that was also a 50GB PS4 game.

>>717288631
All of Sony's moves lately have been copying Microsoft, digital is how you get more money.

>>717288631
Can't wait to see how this will work for you when the base PS6 comes out without a disc drive

Which third-party games with large file sizes do you want to pay $70 for to get a physical copy of to play on your Nintendo Switch 2?

>>717288494
Ever heard of this thing called optimization?
Simply having audio be compressed slightly would halve the install sizes

>Implying that will stop Square

>>717288631
seething snoy lmao

>>717288775
The last Sony PS5 games: Astro Bot and Death Stranding 2 were full disc releases. Silent Hill 2 Remake a 3rd party time exclusive, is also fully on the disc. IDK why you're banging on about Sony and PS5/PS6, a move to digital only will instantly kill them as the consumer would just jump to PC. Physical is one of the few advantages keeping the console market on a separate lane from PC gaming. The others are prices, like 16GB GPU costing 500 dollars.

>>717287126 (OP)
So 10gb carts will be coming for gacha games and 4gb carts for the indie titles?

>>717287126 (OP)
only if they are cheaper to buy

>>717287857
>>717287996
sucks that team asano is tied to SE

>>717288775
It's clearly not working when they officially went third party lol

>>717287640
as long as 64gb cards drop in price, people will stop complaining. its not the size, its the price

>>717287578
OY VEY IT WAS REAL IN MY MIND

>>717288953
>The last Sony PS5 games: Astro Bot and Death Stranding 2 were full disc releases.
Reminder that's a lie, it makes you install it to drive for the magic SSD load times.
This has been the case pretty much since the PiS5 launched.

>>717289131
PS4.
Drives are not fast enough since the PS4.

>>717288942
what kikery is this?

The problem was never the size, but the costs 64gb was the smallest and cheapest cart thats nintendo got with macronix

>dragging Sony into a Nintendo thread out of nowhere
>insisting on digital only
I'm fine owning my games physical, Microsoft Xbox marketers. You should continue owning nothing but renting games.

>>717288942
I don't understand why some companies are also denying upgrades on top of using game key cards. It's like they're just being callous on purpose.

>>717288964
they're being custom made so they might end up being more expensive lol

>>717289245
Ps3

Those Bravely Default HD Remaster sales must be dogwater for SquareEnix. Too bad for them, at 40 dollars I could justify it if it was physical. But SatanKeyCard is a never ever, right next to ShitBoxIrrelevantXboxDRMPass.

>>717289358
DIdn't it at least try to run games from the blurays?

>>717288960
The big gachaslop like genshit is close to hitting the 500gb mark lol

>>717288960
4 is doable, 10 is not

>>717287126 (OP)
Macronix hasn't manufactured any Switch 2 cards, they've only done Switch 1 carts so far.
The main producer of NSW2 carts at the moment is Rohm, from the teardown of the cards there is the R20RG serial and from the comments earlier in the year.
But I guess it's the typical twitter misinfo shit as usual and people jumping at conclusions

>>717289347
The adoption of the 64 GB carts is already very low outside of first party games so it wouldn't make much sense for this to mean bigger, even more expensive card sizes.

>>717289420
They tried

>>717289014
I want to agree but the Live A Live Remake was the first game I'd been excited for in quite a while and I sincerely doubt it would've happened otherwise.
So I will accept the bad with the good.

>>717289437
Why would they introduce more sizes for Switch 1 carts now?

>>717288501
Ok so what? The vast majority of games got physical releases.

I don't get digital only cuckolds celebrating themselves and trying to shitfling in physical threads. The poverty 500GB last gen consoles can literally only fit 2 live service games. Capcom's bloated Monster Hunter games are 100GB+ monsters. I don't get why you would want to constantly delete and redownload games that big. 4K is such a waste jesus christ.

>>717289245
In the PS4 era it was still optional lol

I hope the new katamari is on a real cart

Sony was never a consumer friendly company in the first place, they're a tech company just like Microsoft that entered the console war to act like a parasite

>>717289796
It's been only announced for Switch 1 so far so yeah. No Switch 2 version.

>>717289834
>Switch 2 Editions are also on Switch 1
Whoa. Also BotW is from 2017 and not even originally a Switch 1 game.

>>717287126 (OP)
Hopefully. I'm not going to buy this console at all if it doesn't actually have physical games.

>>717288620
The switch 2 has a CPU that is twice as fast as the PS4, an the PS5 has a CPU that is twice as fast as the switch 2.
I bet that is partially why,

>>717289842
The Forspoken PS5/PC game is so unoptimized that it's rendering the world everywhere with uncompressed meshes. No LODs. The dragon bosses are always rendering every triangle polygon. This is the modern game dev btw.

>>717289834
The sad part is even if you include PS4 games for parity, this is still a better lineup than the upcoming PS4+PiS5 games in the horizon.

>>717288123
Guess you were in a coma during the Switch 1 era.

>>717290171
>an the PS5 has a CPU that is twice as fast as the switch 2.
Lol no, the pis5 has worse shader stutter than the switch 2.
It also runs MHW like ass to the point it can't even hit 60fps during hunts on performance mode, and that's due to the RE engine being notoriously CPU bound.

>>717287914
>I think 32GB will be the de-facto middleground decision for AA and indies.

Donkey Kong Bananza was 8.5GB and Bravely Default was 11GB. 16GB would be ideal for most AA provided an effort is made to compress the game and more than enough for indies unless they're Unreal Engine dumbasses.

>>717290127
All First Party games are on cartridge

>>717288051
When 3rd party games still don't sell, what will be the excuse then?

>>717287126 (OP)
Of course. This only happened as a stop gap for price uncertainly on crazily inflated prices of tech lately. Prices will return to nromal eventually and full games shouldn't have a problem running on carts.

>>717288749
>Automata was reduced to 10.8 gb for Sw1
What kind of sorcery is this

>>717288863
Pragmata or that new RGG game next year

>>717290483
Fits in a 16GB cartridge too.

>>717290483
Optimization

>>717290316
There are many reasons other than CPU raw power to these shits to happen, but cyberpunk 2077 pretty much puts everyone in place.
And the places are "it would run phantom liberty at 10 FPS so we didn't even bother to port" (PS4), "barely runs phantom liberty" (S2) and "runs phantom liberty well" (PS5).

>>717290603
Dont believe thats the switch 2 can run pragmata

I find it funny anti-game key fags think GKCs are the reason why third party games aren't selling well on switch 2 when the real reason is nobody wants to pay full price for a old game they can get cheap on other platforms

>>717287578
>6 million units (sold to retailers, not customers)

>>717290483
You also got Ace Combat 7 being around 14GB on Switch 1 (including all the DLCs except the crossover licenses) while it costed a good 60GB on PC and PS4
Kunitsu-Gami is a bit similar, 10.1GB on Switch 2 vs 22GB on PC. So compression is not entirely a dead art on the successor console either.

>>717290357
Nintendo is going to have a lot of work to do until they release enough games I'm interested in to make a SW2 a worthwhile purchase alone.

>>717290840
Why do you have this tribalism platform warring tone? If Steam games had physical releases it would add options. Why are you angry that consumers don't like getting funneled into digital only?

>>717289268
>>717289303
The most bizarre thing is they've sold upgrades before

>>717290919

>He thinks this is gonna stop SE and crapcom from cheaping out.
Hahahahahahahaha.

Nintendo chads always win. Only place left with physical games. We'll break nintendo themselves into doing what we want like we always have.

>>717287914
I think there still needs to be a cheapo 8GB option for publishers. You can somewhat justify GKC shit for something absurd and uncompressed like Call of Duty or Control, but fucking Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 being a GCK is some fucking sabotage by SEGA and the like.
If an 8GB option exists, no one will ever think Nintendo is the bad guys here and immediately know it is the publishers being fuckheads.

>>717291320
>poorfags asking Nintendo to lower the price of Switch 2
>Nintendo raises the price of Switch 1

>>717287126 (OP)
As long as it costs more than a game key card, most developers are going to go with the cheaper option.

>>717287126 (OP)
Silly question, I thought NAND was a 'write many, read many' type of rewriteable flash memory. Like in modern SSDs. Why are they using that for a game cart that's write ONCE, read many?

>>717289303
They want the games to sell poorly so they have an excuse to not release them on Nintendo consoles, is the same shit EA did on the Wii U

>>717291404
No one gives a fuck about poorfags. Frankly they've had it too easy for too long. Back in my day, we priced those faggots out of gaming.

>>717290836
The real question is "how you make pragmata run on the switch 2 for cheap?"
Gameplay would be identical because we didn't invented anything too heavy since the PS2.
The ideal scenario would be to redo the assets and shaders to fit the system power requeriments.
But we also have the "just disable effects" route (low brow porthouses), and the "run it at a pathetic resolution" route (panic button approach).
On the switch 2 the second approach can be combined with DLSS to make the (manmade horrors beyond comprehension) mode, where DLSSlop stretch shit like 360p to full res

>>717290468
The games weren't that good, they didn't optimize, or it was a "lazy port" for the Switch 2. They'll find something.

>>717287578
>six million
Seems unlikely.

>>717291475
Because it's cheaper than making MASK ROM factories with this density.

>>717291384
>I think there still needs to be a cheapo 8GB option for publishers.
That exists, it's called "optimize your slop and release a switch 1 game with a line of code to increase resolution when ran on the switch 2".

>>717288574
>six Switch 1 games

>>717291065
>If Steam games had physical releases it would add options
Being underage is against the rules.

>>717291630
And yet it’s reality, eric

>>717287914
They need to bring out 8gb and 16gb carts, that's what 99% of third parties and indies are going to need.

And this is ignoring steam itself killed physical ownership on PC.

>>717292496
Honestly fuck steam for that. PC physical releases used to be so cool to see in the store. With those giant boxes.

>>717287126 (OP)
This will result in devs picking the 8GB cartridge and forcing you to download the rest of their 75GB game. Just like with the Switch 1, and everyone who complained about the key-cards will say nothing about it despite being the exact same thing

>>717292414
Yeah, it's called "release a switch 1 game if neither you or your fans are willing to fork up for the fancy new packaging and cart".
Small shoestring budget studios like inti can do it, because their fans are willing to cover the 20 bucks markup for a physical switch 2 version, why can't these monkeys?

>>717289303
Because they want an excuse to drop Nintendo lol

>>717292635
Hope Nintendo adds a "if the game doesn't boot without an internet connection and no updates, we are not allowing it to sell outside a goycard " clause or something, fuck these kikes.

>>717290483
Smaller textures, lower audio quality and maybe only a single language instead of several, etc

We don’t need a stupid license to play games

Nintendo already has carts between 1GB to 32GB for Switch 2 (Mario Kart World uses a 32GB cart while Donkey Kong Bananza uses a 16GB cart) but only Nintendo themselves has access to those sizes die to supply, making 3rd Parties limited to 64GB as thats all the stock available.

Also this also indicates that 128GB carts exist to play catch up with the PS5 and Xbox Series X's 100GB discs but Nintendo isn't using them due to their cost.

>>Nintendo already has carts between 1GB to 32GB for Switch 2 (Mario Kart World uses a 32GB cart while Donkey Kong Bananza uses a 16GB cart) but only Nintendo themselves has access to those sizes die to supply

How does the game run on an NS2?
I might actually buy the Switch version over the PC version if it runs well.

>>717291210
I'm sure it is, consolefags have been bankrolling consoles with no games for generations at this point. They'll probably bankroll the SW2 as well, games or no. SW1 had games, so there is some hope at least, if they don't shoot themselves in the foot with this GKC thing.

>>717291202
This guy gets it. Give him a raise.

I hope they just make a 128GB card so I can laugh. They'll probably make a 32 GB card, but it'll still cost more for that than the game key card and it will have next to no real impact on sales either way regardless.

>>717291541
>On the switch 2 the second approach can be combined with DLSS to make the (manmade horrors beyond comprehension) mode, where DLSSlop stretch shit like 360p to full res

This irritates me because there's no need to drop the resolution below PS vita's maximum in handheld mode.

Sega is outjewing Square with all the buy the same game again and no upgrades. It's a tough competition between them.

>>717295943
At least Sonic Racing CrossWorlds for Switch 2 will be on a real cart and also have an upgrade from Switch 1. Square Enix is still at zero on both.

>>717295943
At least sega is still making SOME games people want to play, which makes people willing to put up with their bullshit, square has had jack shit thanks to deepthroating blackrock cock for a decade.

>>717287126 (OP)
>or will they still cheap out with Game Key Cards
If they're playing pretend to wanting to sell any games whatsoever, yeah, they would use them, but I can't not see many developers would rather save the 5 or 7 dollars a 16gb card would cost on an 80 euros game and taking their sales.

>>717294460
Is this the PC vegan cope for why the Steamie Weenie Deckie got outsold in 24 hours by the Switch 2? Outsold by 2:1 as the Switch 2 is at 6 million. The /v valve vegan/ cries out in pain as he strikes you. Go make a crybaby thread about who the worst fanbase is in /v/ like always do, you shitted up this thread with obnoxious PC platform warring. Physical doesn't exist on the PC, why the fuck are you in this thread other than to troll and whine that your cult of personality Steam Deck is so unpopular that the Google Stadia, NGage, Wii U all outsold it?

The upcoming Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection is $10 more on the Switch 2 but on an actual cartridge. I think more games might follow suit.

Can I assume that it's stable 30 all throughout on the NS2 or would that be naïve?

>>717287126 (OP)
>could hint
>in the future
That's a big assumption. The best case scenario is that this would take years for Switch 2 games to implement. And third parties would have to consciously decide not be as greedy with their profit margins.

>>717298838
so what's that running, $80 ?
what games are in the collection?

why did nintendo make a company that is based off of micronics, the shovelware makers of the nes?

>>717299003
Yeah, $80 on Switch 2 and $70 on other platforms. Full game list isn't out but arcade MK1-4, MK Trilogy and a bunch of home ports are on it.

>>717298730
5,8m was most exclusively the rabid tendies that would instabuy a nintendo-branded turd.

>>717292576
I'd take convenience over install wizards and disk DRM in every situation anon, PC was shit when dealing with physical games because they couldn't guarantee a single, unified anti piracy method, so they used a lot and it was on you. At least currently you at worse only deal with Denuvo and the platform you bought the game in.
Physical only works with consoles because those guarantee a certain degree of copy protection from default

>>717287126 (OP)
why won't they make low speed 16, 32 and 64 GB cards
i'd rather have slower load times than this game key card bullshit

>>717291989
Bro?
The success of Steam literally killed physical PC games.

>>717290840
And yet, 3rd party games always sell better on the switch, and the 3rd party games on S2 that are on real carts have sold well. The only games that sold poorly are key carts
Ahhhhj well. Just a coincidence I'm sure.

I don't care about your greedy kike excuses.
If inti can afford real carts for their shovelware slop side scrolling game that won't even sell half a million, then so can you, crapcom, scamco, square shitnigs etc. I don't wanna hear your goy kvetching

>>717287372
>too late
>one month in
It's fine

Atelier Ryza DX will not have an English physical Switch version at all and there is no upgrade path.

The 5.8 million is shipped (this is when Nintendo gets their pay). 6 million was sold from retail to customers. So either two things happened
>Nintendo flooded the supply chain to pad year end numbers
>July was a massive drop off
That said, of the 6 million sold, 3.5 was done in the first 4 days. So the other 2.5 million was over a month and a half. Given that you can easily buy a Nintendo Switch 2 now and have been for several weeks means the momentum is slowing more than tendies want to admit. The Switch 2's success has more to do with supply.

>>717291684
>That exists, it's called "optimize your slop and release a switch 1 game with a line of code to increase resolution when ran on the switch 2".
see SEGA could do exactly that but they'd rather be greedy bastards and force everyone to buy the whole game again

>>717290840
except cyberpunk is the best selling third party, so there goes your narrative

>>717301928
That's one option, they could reuse Switch 1 cards and make them only work like a discs giving installation files but no option to run them from the card itself..

>>717293796
no, he's pulling it out his ass

More sizes means more options for publishers. This is good.

>>717303467
>This is good
i mean, obviously
but it still comes down to the publishers actually using those options instead of game key cards

>>717289842
>FUCKING WINDOWS 98

>>717303467
the publisher will choose the cheapest option which is the gkc

>>717288103
Forced meme, Switch 2 ain't PS5

>>717287126 (OP)
Physical media is over. Clinging on at this point is just sad.

>>717304663
Nintendo can and should discontinue them for new releases once 16gb and 32gb cards are available.

>>717296430
Dragon Quest 3 HD2D has a free Switch 2 update now and Romancing Saga 2 remake has a Switch 2 edition upgrade now, so that's two against Sega's two since Yakuza Kiwami is getting a paid upgrade path on Switch 2 on top of Crossworlds

>>717301383
>>717302859
The cope never ends, love to see it

>>717302689
No version is getting an upgrade path, and the physical version you are mentioning is play asia exclusive

>>717305419
And just like that, 3rd party developers leave Nintendo for the generation record breaking sales be damned. Remember, THEY wanted the keycards

>>717287126 (OP)
That's not stopping third parties from being retards lmao

>>717287126 (OP)
Yeah, and if these faggots weren't Bricking consoles over used games I'd consider it.
Fuck Nintendo.
Stop treating customers like criminals and I'll consider buying your slop again

>>717287126 (OP)
This is what not buying shit you don't want does. Everything on a key shart sold nothing so now Nintendo and the third parties are bending the knee.

>>717306996
Notice how it's valve jeets always spouting this console war bullshit? Remember that. It isn't the nintendo fans doing it for the most part.

>>717291631
they haven't used mask rom since the first year or two of the DS. It's all been flash since then.

>>717301928
Because then like third parties would release cloud versions of games instead of releasing them in cart.

>>717306996
MIG cards are piracy albeit, not really used games.
I guess a more proper term for MIG cards would be sloppy seconds.

>>717302689
Get used to it, with the current kikery going on in the west expect most JP Devs to pull out of the west entirely.

Devs will continue to be shlomo shekelbergs because multibillion dollar corporations can't afford to spend an additional 58 cents per cart, despite games being expensive as fuck. Dumb fuck Snoytrannies already blame Nintendo for these companies' jewery, so why would they stop?

>>717288960
>10gb
Anon your powers of 2

>>717306996
Something something wall of text, something something goyim really can't meme.

>>717287857
There will be a survey for the demo and it's very likely that everyone will tell SE to fuck off with that GKC shit so there's that.

>>717287126 (OP)
Watch most thrid parties still use key cards out of retardation or spite.

>>717287372
God I hope so. I loved the Switch but they got too cocky during it last years and it's now specially notable with Switch 2 (really high price, few games, not enough graphical power, still the same drifting Joy-Cons)

>>717306996
>if these faggots weren't Bricking consoles over used games I'd consider it
Well I have news for you fake tendie. Nintendo doesn't brick consoles

>>717305825
>DQ3 remake gets a 60fps update meanwhile Sega wants people to pay $60 for sonic generations for the third time
Fuck Sega

>>717308148
Don't forget the kikes at Square are cockblocking DQ1+2 from getting a patch if you buy a Switch 1 copy.

>>717308273
the kikes at square also blocked the suikoden remaster from getting an upgrade. you have to buy it all over again and its only available as a game key card or digital unlike the real physical copy s1 had

>>717308273
That also sucks but why would anyone buy the switch 1 version over the switch 2 unless you're very autistic about game key cards?

>>717308491
Suikoden is from Konami though.
