Since this is the most normal Switch 2 thread I've seen I'll say this here - genuinely not sure whether I should bite the bullet and go digital on this thing.

I'm usually pro-physical but am not against digital if it's cheaper. I don't resell so it's purely that I value the permanence of physical. That and I like seeing a physical collection build up.

But everything on Switch 2 seems to be trying to push me in the digital only direction. Game Key Cards mean most third parties I won't get physical, because if a game is on a game key card I'd genuinely just rather get it digital anyway. So collections will be less of a thing. Nintendo is literally making their digital games cheaper than physical retail here too (Kirby Air Riders is ยฃ58 digital, ยฃ67 physical). And then there's the fact it's portable and so there's a genuine convenience factor.

I need to decide before Pokemon Legends Z-A and Kirby Air Riders release but I honestly might just say fuck it and go digital despite usually being hardline against it. Considering it's not just cheaper but more convenient, I dunno.

Yeah. I've been all physical all my life.
And though I won't go full digital, I'll probably buy more digital games now than ever before.

Games have gotten more expensive than before. And if a game is only ever available as key cards or digital, then it'll be digital every single time. Key cards just seem to be the worst of both worlds.
But digital often being a bit cheaper also helps.

I still don't like it. But half my library might end up digital now.

What benefit does digital have over key-card that it doesn't already have over physical? People keep saying "oh it's a key-card, I might as well buy digital, then." But there is truly no difference in that regard.
Physical is better than key-card because it doesn't take up storage on your system. But as far as digital is concerned, the benefits are exactly the same. It could be either and it wouldn't make a difference in regards to digital.
Not trying to look like a psycho attacking you or rabidly defending a company here, I just see this sentiment a lot and I really don't believe people are giving their statements much thought, and many yet still are misinformed.
As per your question, I personally fear the all-digital future, so I think saving less than ten dollars is not worth it.

With digital you can lend or swap your digital copy between systems without having to carry around your key card with you.
Carrying around real physical cards is typically worth it because they've got real benefits. Such as actually having the game on them. But the key cards are just digital copies, weighed down by a physical key.

So key cards have all the restrictions of physical copies yet none of the freedom of digital.

Game Key Cards are already seeing less use by third parties since it's leading to worse sales. So this initial wave was likely the major issue meaning stuff like Yakuza 0 DC or Bravely Default Remastered will be stuck in GKC hell, but future games should be mostly normal since devs are biting the bullet. Nintendo is also working on lower level cards as far as we know so it'll be even more common for proper cards instead of GKCs. I'd expect Activision, Ubisoft, some Squeenix releases, and maybe really small indies to use them after the first year but all things are pointing to them being ignored by devs. Nintendo will never use them either.

As I said here >>719199358, why?
I disagree with key-card being the "worst of both worlds." It is 100% a worse option than full physical, but for me I'd still like to have an option besides digital-only. Key-cards still have the benefits of physical, being able to lend them, sell them, give them away. And most importantly, giving customers more buying options than just the e-shop. The only real downside is that it uses up storage space on your device, which digital already does anyway.

I could be wrong, but with Splatoon Raiders coming up, I'm guessing that Splatoon 4 is at least a couple of years away and quite possibly even further years away than that.
And honestly, even if so, Splatoon 3 has easily the best Splatoon single player to date, only matched by Splatoon 2's DLC campaign. It's really fun.
Splatoon 3 also has the best multiplayer. It's real fun. I'd say it's still worth it. Even if Splatoon 4 comes, I'm sure you'll appreciate having played 3. I'm guessing.

You can temporarily lend a digital game, but it requires you to be friends with the person and both have access to your Switch at the time. Lending a physical copy is a bit more practical, as you can just hand it off whenever, and key-cards share that benefit with physical. I don't really see what you mean by "benefits such as having the game on them." Like I do 100% agree full physical is better, but as long as you've already downloaded the key-card game to your system you can take it with you anywhere and play it freely. If you need to download it, you can use wi-fi or hotspots anywhere. Again, I need to stress that full physical is better, but I'm just failing to see exactly why anyone would choose digital over key-card specifically but not physical, when the benefits of digital apply to both equally.

That also applies to physical. You need to have it plugged in to use it.

>>719199819
That is the same benefit digital has over physical.
I once again need to stress here, I'm not trying to defend key-cards in general, just the notion of choosing digital specifically over key-cards but not physical, when the differences are the same.

Actually. If you're in-person, you can lend out games without being friends. Your systems just need to have proximity access to each other.

It's not the same at all and you're misunderstanding how GKCs work. GKCs require you to have the physical cart in the system to play it even though you've downloaded the game. Digital copies do not meaning you can have that game and another physical copy in your system and play it.

>>719200583
You do. Have you never owned these types of games on Playstation or Xbox? Xbox in particular does this with their backwards compatible games since you're downloading a digital copy but the physical game needs to be in the system to play that digital copy.

Oh, wow, that's neat. I did not know that. But it is still locked to 14 days maximum, is it not? I'd personally argue if you're lending a game, it would be much more convenient to just hand it off, without needing access to your console, and then not having to fuss with library-style return times. The digital system IS good for making sure your game doesn't get stolen, at least.

At the current moment my cope is just buying Switch 1 copies of games and have the Switch 2 just have it run by default. Even though Switch 1 versions wont have 4K options there have been showcases where the Switch 2 by default will just run games better, Arkham Knight being the biggest example of that. So when I buy the Pacman Remake or Little Nightmares 3(assuming those are key cards Im not sure) I know that by default it'll be a smoother experience playing on Switch 2 even though its its a Switch 1 copy.
There are no games at the moment that are worth getting Switch 2 versions not counting exclusives. Even Metroid Prime Im better off just getting the Switch 1 version and if I feel like it a year down the road I'll buy the digital upgrade.

GKC is effectively just digital except you swap the convenience that digital usually has over physical (convenience of not having to carry around and swap cartridges) for the ability to resell the game.

In the context of someone who does not resell their games, this makes GKC a strictly inferior product to simply buying digital.

Because picking digital over physical is idiotic and means you don't own your game while costing the same or usually more than a physical copy. People buying digital are typically doing it out of convenience or laziness.

Digital is being chosen over a GKC because you have more freedom with a digital copy over a GKC. You don't own the game either way, but at least with a digital copy you can transfer it easier via a Virtual Game Card to multiple people instead of just the one person who has the GKC itself, you aren't required to keep the GKC in your system freeing up the slot for another game, there's the chance that in the future newer systems will be able to play the game you bought digitally unlike the GKC since that's a physical object, and you aren't tied to a physical object compared to your account.

Unless you regularly resell your games the GKC is an objective downgrade from buying digital in every single way. At best GKCs will get cheaper than digital because no one wants them + the same physical shelf space issue normal physical games have, but that's it.

No? With a physical copy you actually own your game. It can be installed offline, comes with the version it was printed with with the option of upgrading to newer patches, allows you to get delisted games since it's a physical copy, isn't tied to an account, is almost always cheaper than a digital copy, isn't installed to your system, and can't be taken away from you short of a break-in or house fire.

>>719201836
Full physical is the actual game. The very fact you have to download the game and are reliant on Nintendo's servers to even obtain the game means with a GKC you have a digital copy that you don't even own while having all the restrictions of both a digital and physical copy without the benefits of either side. You don't own any data on the GKC because there is none and you can't play the game without the GKC in your system.

The discussion was in regards to buying digital over key-card, but not physical. You've listed benefits of physical over key-card, but that has nothing to do with choosing digital over key-card.
Also, there is zero chance you'll get "locked out" of downloading your key-card game. They are not going to "shut off the servers". You can still download Wii games you bought digitally, and that console was not future-proofed in the slightest. These are designed this way intentionally. Even if somehow they got de-listed I guarantee they would still allow you to download it from the key-card, because otherwise it would be leaving them open to a lawsuit.

I've already explained to you why digital is better than a GKC. Multiple people have and I don't know why you're not getting it. A GKC requires the cartridge in the slot, can't be easily shared with multiple people since you need to physically hand over the GKC, relies on a physical object, and in the future will potentially be unavailable on future systems unless they also use cartridges.

A digital copy doesn't require a game to be in the slot, can be shared with multiple people with no need to pass the copy around, does not rely on a physical object, is tied to your account rather than a physical object, and has the potential to be played on future systems due to the account.

Both need to download the game, as far as we know GKCs are subject to the same "Need to phone home" restrictions as digital copies are for playing them offline after a few months, and both require you to waste space on your storage to play the games. The difference is that you have way more flexibility with a digital copy from every angle while the GKC just grants you the ability to sell the copy.

Probably.
Should run a lot better than on the Switch 1, and it's not as if that version ran terribly or anything. So probably.

Yes, but all of those reasons include why digital is theoretically better than physical, as well. That is the crux of what I'm saying. Choosing digital over key-card specifically and not physical makes no sense, as the benefits of digital over key-card are the exact same as the benefits over physical. Physical still requires the cartridge slot and is a physical object.
Choosing physical over key-card makes sense, as it has the benefit of not using up storage space. Choosing physical (and key-card) over digital also makes sense for a number of reasons. But to say "it's a key-card and not physical, and thus I will go digital" makes no sense from a logical standpoint.

Yes, how is this not making sense to you? You gain none of the benefits of digital and all the downsides of physical. You gain all the negatives of digital copies with the only benefit of physical being that you can resell it.

You don't have a game on your cartridge whatsoever.
You don't play the game off the cartridge, it needs to be installed on your system.
You don't have the original version of the game, only the latest update.
You can't install it offline or play it offline in perpetuity.
If your system is banned the game can't even be downloaded with a GKC because it requires access to the eShop to even play it whereas a proper physical copy can just play it.

A physical copy has downsides but you actually own the physical copy in a multitude of ways and gain benefits from that physical ownership that aren't present with a GKC.
>But to say "it's a key-card and not physical, and thus I will go digital" makes no sense from a logical standpoint.
It does, because the GKC's only benefit to you as a person is that it can be resold. If you do not want to resell your game you have zero benefits from a GKC at all and a digital copy will always be better in every single way as it doesn't have any of the downsides that come with a GKC due to it being a physical product. All the downsides of digital with none of the benefits.

All of this applies to digital. I don't think you get what I'm saying here. Or you are purposefully trying to obfuscate the discussion. If you are going to choose to buy digital over key-card, then the notion of needing an internet connection and a console that isn't banned is already a foregone conclusion. None of that matters to the topic at hand as the person in question would be accepting all of that with their decision to buy digitally. There is no benefit to choosing digital over key-card if you would otherwise prefer physical, because the downsides of key-card being digital are already present with a standard digital download.

Bro.
Yeah. A lot of people do think digital is superior to physical. But by the end of the day, digital is nigh straight up superior to key cards, and even if you could quantify physical as arguably less worth than digital, physical still has unique qualities none of the other options have. So people will always value physical.

What are you confused about?

Because it's a digital copy of a game. It's not a physical copy of a game. You paying for a GKC means you have bought a digital game with less capabilities than an actual digital copy.
>If you are going to choose to buy digital over key-card, then the notion of needing an internet connection and a console that isn't banned is already a foregone conclusion.
The point of mentioning this is that your GKC is also subject to the same issues a digital copy is.
>There is no benefit to choosing digital over key-card if you would otherwise prefer physical, because the downsides of key-card being digital are already present with a standard digital download.
You are buying a digital copy that has multiple downsides but can sell it vs. a digital copy that doesn't have multiple downsides but you can't sell it. I genuinely don't know how much clearer I can make this. If you like physical copies then the GKC should be viewed as a digital copy of a game with physical restrictions, not a physical copy of a game. Coming with a box and a cartridge only means it's physical in the literal sense of the word, you don't have a proper physical copy of the game that can be played offline from the cartridge with no say by Nintendo on how you can use it. It's like saying you own a copy of Indiana Jones on the PS5 because you have a physical box and disk despite the disk not having anything on it.

A GKC
>Requires its cartridge to be put into the system to play it.
>Downloads the game to your system.
>Can only be lent to someone by physically handing them the game.
>Can be sold.

A digital copy
>Doesn't require a cartridge to be put into the system freeing up space for an actual physical copy.
>Downloads the game to your system.
>Can be lent to someone by just granting them access to your VGC or family and multiple people can have it loaded.
>Can't be sold.

Getting Kirby and Metroid out early before Mario is an interesting choice. I imagine a Luigi's Mansion is not too far behind and I'm expecting something to come out of that secret mmo play test thing they did last year.

I feel we got spoiled by the Switch's own first year, but really it had its own oddities to it. If at least two out of Z-A, Air Riders, and Prime 4 are good, a lot of the game complaints will die down for now.

Nintendo is clearly trying to test how well their B-listers can fare more in the spotlight.
