>Pokopia will be a game-key card

FIRST PARTY NINCELDO GAMES GOING KEYCARDS OH NONONOHAHAHAHA

https://youtu.be/5ldQYMwzWrY?si=DQoc9Or7gKSTjFNJ

>>725542618 (OP)
Oh well, these games will all be available for emulation eventually anyway.

>>725542618 (OP)
a low quality series like pokemon is right at home on a low quality game key cart.

>>725542694

>>725542618 (OP)
Oh fuck off

>>725542781
So then what? Warioware and Fire Emblem could also be key cards? That's fucking insane.

>>725542854
>>725542781
>>725542618 (OP)
Well the box says SAMPLE

So maybe it's just an example since no nintendo game uses them and they don't have to pay third parties to show them in the video.

>>725542905
Holy fucking C O P E

>>725542905
You’re being awfully generous to nintendo giving them the benefit of the doubt. You really thought they wouldn’t pull this shit?

>>725542854
no, just pokemon games.

>>725542905
It's in the official tweet by TPC.

>>725542978
How do you figure? Warioware is also not a full price series.

>>725543007
Oof.... Im getting the game because Dragon Quest Builders is kino but fuck the keycard version.

>>725542854
anything not a major release being on key card seems likely desu. they lose money by using real cartridges instead of game key cards.

>>725542618 (OP)
uh oh snoy melty!

>>725542618 (OP)
It's The Pokémon Company.

>>725543090
They don't lose money, the margin is just smaller.

>>725543110
This is my one cope because Pokémon games are published by Nintendo outside of Japan. I really hope they will shell out for the actual cartridge.

>>725542978
>it’s just for third party games bro
>it’s just for third party games and pokemon, bro
>it’s just for third party games, pokemon and fire emblem, bro
>Who cares, it’s Mario Odyssey 2, you’ll still buy it, heh

>>725543129
semantically, sure. but to these corporations if they're not making as much money as possible then they're losing potential profit.

>>725543043
Nintendo explicitly does not have as tighter leash on Pokemon because of TPC.
And KT(same dev as Pokepia) also just released the hyrule warrior game on a normal card. The difference between AOI and Pokepia? TPC.

Falseflagging snoyfag, we know what you are retard.

>PC faggots love their steam DRM licence keys
>nintendo does a similar thing but with a cool collectable cartridge
>NOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T BUY THAT

>>725543207
Yeah I mentioned it earlier but I really hope it will be on a real cartridge outside of Japan. Otherwise I will unfortunately just buy it digitally when it enters a sale for 10% or something I guess.

>>725542618 (OP)
>FIRST PARTY
But it's developed by the Dragon Quest Builders developers. It's only published by Nintendo.

>>725543382
This
We can still sell and trade em pc vegens can't even do that with their games fucking lmao

>>725543382
>Nintendo player doesn't have the same opinions and low standards as a steamfag
WOW, how unexpected!?

>>725543423
Can tell you already, it isn't.

>>725543007
Click "show translation" and send another screenshot. Thanks!

now im wondering if future pokemon games will be Key Cards

This isn't first party

>>725543423
You can see the card used has the English title and the provisionary ESRB logo. We're all getting fucked.

>>725543382
>a "cool collectable" (cheap tiny piece of plastic) is enough to make him love something he hates
not the statement you think it is.

>>725543521
>implying it won’t apply to first-party
They’re losing out on a lot with games being on the card. They’ll give in soon enough…

>>725543382
The cartridge makes it worse because if it breaks, you lose it, or it gets stolen then you lose your license. Being tied to your account digitally is legitimately better.

>>725543189
I doubt actual first party games will come in key carts because Nintendo actually manufactures the carts in Japan through their own facility. I'm thinking that this new game is one of those is that is going to have constant patches and updates for new content so they're not even bothering with the full cart.

>>725543521
Neither is Kirby, Fire Emblem or Grezzo Zeldas. That's not reassuring. However TPC is a shit publisher so hopefully it's just that.

>>725543503
They're not going to do it with Game Freak Pokémon games. Spinoffs are getting screwed over, TPC probably can't wait to cut costs on all of those.

>>725543382
>PC faggots love their steam DRM licence keys

lmfao Tendies cannot live without seething about PC for ten seconds.

>>725543382
Key cards are a lot better than straight up digital, but I still would much prefer just a proper cart.

>>725542618 (OP)
>TPC cheaps out again and fumbles the ball at the goal
Must be a day ending in Y.
I knew a non-mobile spinoff sounded too good to be true.

>>725543657
Nah, I never resell my games so key cards are just the worst of both worlds.

It’s time to embrace digital games on consoles
I say this as a physical collector
It’s over, i’m sure the PS6 will not have a disc drive and in a couple of years every Switch 2 game will be a keycard

>>725543623
My assumption is that low budget games won't use actual cartridges and will use GKCs instead. Pokopia is obviously a low budget licensed cash in.

>>725543657
>Key cards are a lot better than straight up digital
In what way?

>>725543472
>>725543657
>We can still sell and trade em
and lose em because they aren't even real games.
and when the switch's service life ends they'll be bits of plastic.

cartridges are superior because they're the fucking game.

>>725543720
you can resell

>>725543710
it's over we'll own nothing and be unhappy

>>725543657
See >>725543619 . You can lose your license in some house fire or cultural enrichment event with key carts.

>>725543650
of course they cant.
they live within nintendo's exclusivity garden while we have hundreds of thousands of games that can be downloaded and played at the click of the button.

>>725542819
Stay mad, tendie.

>>725543634

>buy keycard from someone

>cool collectable

cuckcards

>>725543767
Not if it's release date + X number of arbitrary game since the console's service life ends.

You can only resell if you do it before Nintendo pulls the plug.

>>725543093
Yeah I’m sure it’s snoys complaining they can’t buy physical nintendo games.

i lost all my ds games as a child because of moving out

>>725543767
Is that all? I thought you meant it had benefits while using.

>>725543721
>and when the switch's service life ends they'll be bits of plastic
yeah... those Wii servers will be shut down any day now for sure!

>>725543857
kek this
the switch 2's resale market is fucked because nobody can trust any card that gets plugged into one because of the draconian DRM. You're not reselling shit.

>>725543857
cute fanfic, in reality the key card works because its not a one use token, but an authentication "key".

>>725543941
p much. yeah. nintendo will cut those off within your lifetime and it'll be way sooner than you think.

>>725543767
I don't think many people do that. Meanwhile the benefits of a real cartridge in terms of saving storage and convenience for not having to download anything are apparent even to normalfag parents. The storage thing pisses me off in particular.

>>725542694

right, the Wii servers are going down in just... two more weeks we swear!

>>725544119
The online play servers you retard, not the servers to redownload purchased digital software.

Imagine people freaking out this hard over games going CD instead of carts.

I'll play anything on anything.

>>725544119
DS didn't have game download servers, and Splatoon absolutely can still be downloaded so not sure why you're lying.

Can you simultaneously gameshare game keycard games like digital games? Are they even the same thing? I don't know shit about Switch 2 but I have no interest in shit I can't share.

>>725543996
individual games cartridges can get banned with the key cart system being a license. if you buy one that was banned, you're out of luck.

>>725544120
>he's so retarded he thinks switch 1 cart that got mig switch is the same as a switch 2 keycard

so nintendo isnt against shutting down servers. interesting...

well go ahead, play splatoon 1 the way you're meant to.

This isn't even a super small 3GB game, it's 10GB+ right? I'm not sure if I'm even gonna buy this before I get a microSD express for cheap. What the fuck was Nintendo thinking with the storage situation on NS2?

>>725544231
>Can you simultaneously gameshare game keycard games like digital games?
Of course not lmfao, they're all the downsides of physical combined with all the downsides of digital.

There's a reason no one fucking wants the things and only the shithead contrarian capital of the internet, /v/, even defends them.

>>725542694

Thanks!

>>725543767
I haven't sold a game was I was 12 and getting ripped off by Gamestop. You can just say GKCs are for poors.

>>725544240
switch 1 cart only get banned because of the mig
you can't mig the switch 2 key card

>>725543996
because nintendo doesnt care about third party crap, the cut they take is pocket change in comparison their main titles.
do you really think they'll let the same auth key be passed around dozens of times when they start doing it for mainline mario?
in your dreams, they'll be cracking down on that shit sooner than you think.

>>725544120
>source some faggot lying on reddit for attention
also even your story has nothing to do with game key cards, dude supposedly bought a grey market digital code.

>>725544304
/v/ is the home of the tendie cult, if they bought something that came with a black man opening up their mouth and pissing in it, they would gladly buy it if it had a nintendo sticker on it.

in reality, yknow the place most people live, these things are underselling everywhere to the point third party doesn't even want to use the fucking things. it's only TPC because they know their shit-suckers will eat up anything.

>>725544384

>I-IT'S A LIEEEEEEEEE
still coping with this shit? lie or not it's tanked the value of the resale market forever. nobody is going to risk their $500 brick with $100 games to save maybe $40 on one game keycard

This shit is only a key card because TPC decided to cheap out like the idiots they are but also Nintendo is not involved in distribution. Nintendo handles distribution for most Pokémon games in Japan even with the publisher there being TPC

>>725542694

How come Nintendo gets a pass from /v/ about these shitty cartridges that don’t have the full game and require internet to download but Xbox gets shat on?

>>725544525
Ok. Thanks for confirming you can't do it.

>>725544554
Thanks anon.

>>725544572
What? I thought Nintendo was completely hands off pkmn distribution in Japan?

>>725544260
those are still up.
>>725544302
>well go ahead, play splatoon 1 the way you're meant to.
onii-chan my goalposts are moving on their own!
The discussion was whether the game key cards would work or not, in a scenario where even a fully on cart physical game doesn't work anymore the entire argument is moot.

>>725544603
Xtrash fans don’t exist

>>725544603
because xbox has no games

>>725544521
>H-HE GOT HIS MONEY BACK (after not having his console for weeks, having to provide proof of purchase, over a fuckup that Nintendo admits was their fault and only refunded due to bad PR)
do tendies even think these things through or do they just act on instinct like an animal?

literally no one is going to bend over backwards to help you if your console gets fucked. this was a rare exception, everyone else is like >>725544476 and screech "YOU'RE A FILTHY PIRATE AAAAAAAAAAHHHH" like literally what YOU guys did when that story came out.

you guys are pathetic.

It's why I brought them up as an example of the DS servers still being around.

>>725544521
>user got his switch banned
>EVENTUALLY it got fixed after weeks of bad PR
This is not the 'own' you think it is. Nobody is going to risk their switch over used games anymore, these things are worthless.

>>725544371
>do you really think they'll let the same auth key be passed around dozens of times when they start doing it for mainline mario?
absolutely, because they literally already do that for physical games. You think Mario Wonder carts don't have an authentication key number on them already?

>>725544650
This wasn't even about a game key card. It was for a digital download code.
Are you okay anon? You seem to be having a melty and I'm not sure why.

>>725544713
Proof that it took weeks? Otherwise this is just cope.

>>725544625

nintendo's not against shutting down servers, thats my point.

I really dislike physical media for the switch
The cases are too big, they should have went with 3DS cases
No point in carrying a bunch of carts for a portable console

>>725544603
>but Xbox gets shat on?
when does that happen? most people don't even remember Xbox exists, let alone have enough thoughts about them to "shit on them".

>>725544756
and yet you can't provide one examples of them shutting down download servers for purchased games.

>>725544808
>get banned for cheating in a multiplayer game
>cartridge gets banned
it's going to happen eventually, it might take until a modchip is out but there will be cartridges with the licenses revoked.

>>725544953
>>725545004
nintendo's a greedy modern company thats lost what made them popular in the first place.
both of these WILL happen and you're only lying to yourself if you think they wont.

Considering Xbox has been doing the whole "half game on disc, download the rest" shit for a while and even Playstation has had a couple games like that too, what are the chances that come the next generation of consoles, every physical release ends up being some form of keycard/incomplete disc?

>>725542618 (OP)
>FIRST PARTY
being published by the pokemon company, at least in japan so it was probably their decision
I could cope and say because it says sample maybe nintendo could make it a full cart in the west but they wouldn't probably want to make TPC look shit by doing that

>>725545191
I’d say next generation is the last gen for physical media. With the base PS6 rumored to be digital only requiring a disc drive to be bought separately, these companies are slowly trying to remove physical

NAND is cheap Nintendo, stop being cheapstakes.
128GB is less than $10 nowdays and your shitty games are $60-80.

>>725544613
No, who told you that? If you go a Pokémon game page in Japan and look at the "lineup" you'll see something like pic related. This is from Z-A's japanese page. The release is handled by TPC, sales by Nintendo, and the developer is Game Freak

autistic schizophrenia is supposed to be my domain yet you retards out-retard even my racist schizophrenic rants on biz with your literal slop nonsenseposting and accusatory ranting all because some retard named eric (who is a neet btw) couldn't help himself when the switch launched to massive success and is currently seething over the switch 2 sales with 10 or more threads a day

>game-key cards don't contain any game data
Why would I buy this over just getting it directly off the eshop then? Whats the point?

>>725545693
You own a key to download it from Nintendo's servers. It's no different than buying digitally except you have to jump through a hoop to put in the cartridge whenever you want to play it. The only use case is if you're a poorfag that wants to resell it because the digital game card system allows you to share digital games with people anyway.

>>725546151
You can also lend digital copies though. It's a neat feature Nintendo introduced this year.

>>725546304
only to people in your family group, and you can't resell them.

>tendies pulling a 180 and coping
More entertaining than donkey Kong toddler-nanza

>>725546113
Pokepia isn't technically a first party game, it's a spin off by a different dev team and published by TPC, but it's still starting to blur the lines a bit too much for my liking.

>>725546360
Reselling is not a big deal to most people compared to the other conveniences of physical it seems. Definitely the case for me, I've never sold a game.

>>725546304
Family share isn't new, and neither is sharing in the first place. Sony was so naive with it they had to reduce it from 5 to 2 people after PS3 because too many people abused it.

I'd be much more receptive to this if it was an actual budget title and in that case basically would treat it like MP remastered or that Kirby buffet game etc, where it's mainly thought of as a digital Nintendo game.

>>725546425
>isn't technically a first party game
it's an outright third party game. it's an IP nintendo doesn't own being made by a dev team that isn't in any way exclusive to nintendo.

>>725546360
I haven't resold a game in like 10 years, who the fuck is still doing that? That stopped being appealing when I stopped being a kid with no income. I still regret selling a bunch of my older games when I was young.

>>725546476
i mean, i don't really care about it either which is why i buy most my games digitally, but transferability has literally always been physicals main benefit. I have tons of childhood memories of borrowing and lending games with school friends or neighbors, which you absolutely can do with game key cards.

>>725542694
>not mario says "YAH! WHA! WHAOOO!"
Absurdly disappointed.

>>725546558
why even collect physicals if you don't care about their "value"? if you aren't reselling games anyway just buy digital.

>>725545686
Concession accepted. Thanks for confirming you couldn't do it.

HUMILIATION RITUAL

>>725546558
The only time I wish I could've resold a game in recent years was New Horizons. Fuck that piece of shit. Wish I never bought it digitally.

>>725546398
they always do 180s and its hilarious
>heh, look at how the rest of the industry is filled with DLC dont you wish you were a nintendo fan?
>DLC IS FINE, OK?
>heh, look at how other consoles have paid online. dont you wish you were a nintendo fan?
>PAID ONLINE IS FINE, OK?
and then of course they invented entirely new infinitely more jewish practices like amiibo being physical and limited time 50 dollar mini-DLCs or pokemon home being the most expensive digital storage option for the amount of data you get.

Lmao how can people defend Nintendo let alone fucking Pokemon this hard

>>725546718
So I can play them whenever I want in 20 years even if servers ever go down? Pulling out an old system and playing your old games is comfy and very nostalgic. Digital is obviously better than Game Key Cart but physical copies where everything is on cart/disc are nice.

>>725546718
Because of storage? Because I don't wanna constantly redownload shit? Because I maybe wanna plug it in and play on a trip somewhere else where I don't have internet?

>>725546910
wtf

>>725542618 (OP)
Can someone explain keycards to me and why this is bad?

>>725547109
It's a digital download of game you can't play unless you insert the key card.

It's just a worse version of both digital, and physical.

>>725547109
It's a digital game that is bound to a physical key you need to have inserted in the console to authenticate and play.

then don't uninstall shit all the time? If you can remember to take a cartridge with you on a trip you can also just remember to pop it into the system and install it before you leave.

>>725544358
At this point they are specifically for poors. I should know because when I was a broke college student I used Best Buy's membership to get new games for $12 off then sold the game if I completed it fast enough and didn't want to keep it. I continued to buy physically until I got a decent paying job at which point physical became an annoyance compared to buying everything digitally. If I was in a similar situation today I'd still be buying physical and GKCs.

>>725548507
Sorry don't have any, nintendo doesn't release games that require installs, they're the only company that still sells games playable off the cart.

Nintendo didn't make any decisions here, they only publish the game in foreign markets, the actual publisher who decided it'd be a GKC was TPC.

>>725543710
Did you actually play all these or are you one of those people who just buys games to stick on a shelf?

Aren't Game Key Kards basically tbe exact same shit the entire rest of the industry has been doing for over a decade now with mandatory game installs and say zero updates?

>>725542694
mario if he real

>>725549217
Pretty much, which is why most people don't care about them. They still see them as copies they can trade in.

>>725549217
Yes, which Nintendo has traditionally been exempt from, hence the controversy.

>>725548920
Well yes, every game requires an install to the SSD for faster speeds now. But the difference is being installed from the disc which has all the data on it or needing to download everything because the disc is a glorified license. It's being able to do it offline vs needing an internet connection.

>>725549217
Many games still let you install the files from disc while being offline, GKCs require an online connection to install them, there's some PS5/Xbox games that do this as well but Nintendo is catching more flak because the Switch 2 is feasibly a console you can have somewhere without an internet connection.

>>725549051
Explain hyruke warriors and the latest Pokémon game both being on cart. And once you can’t kill yourself.

>>725549217
people hate what the rest of the industry is doing, hence the push back
people should've pushed back harder when console games required an install

>>725549879
That's the logical thing to think but in reality people are only mad because it's Nintendo.

>>725549217
I remember an anon explained that the keycard shit was also a method for Nintendo to maintain retail space.

>>725550171
It's a bit different because your Xbox and Playstation are tethered to your house so the odds of having internet access if higher. For anyone that uses their Switch 2 was a portable, it's much worse in that scenario. Realistically, buying a big memory card gets around that regardless(and right now the prices on those are retarded to be fair) but at that point just buy digital copies so you don't have to lug around cartridges too.

>>725550231
That was one of their stated goals with them. Hanger codes don't sell well and people have always had poor reactions to the code in a box format. Maintaining the purchase experience for people who buy their games based on what they find on shelves was important for them and keeps retailers happy. The downside is a download. The alternative would be a code in a box and everyone hates those.

>>725542618 (OP)
Pokemon isn't first party.
Pokemon doesn't alow multi save files cause they don't want you claiming multi legendary.

Why the fuck would you think they care now that you can't inject btw if you don't own physical.

You know this is true because they don't even 4k player that works. Being a physical bros is suffering.

>>725549667
isnt hw published by nintendo

>>725550449
Do GKCs require an online check kn each time they're fired up? If not then I dont really see it being a very big deal, I cant imagine that there is a substantial amount of people who would be buying GKCs on the go and never being somewhere with internet to be able to download the games that initial time.

>>725543189
Most faggots don't know this, but nintendo doesn't even publish pokemon games in japan any more, and in the rest of the world it's usually a joint effort between Nintendo and the pokemon company. Pokemon games are less "first party" these days then something like kirby or fire emblem.

>>725550581
Yeah I agree. I'm honestly not surprised they went with this method. Granted I always saw Nintendo as this lumbering dinosaur, so keeping retailers happy and maintaining the shopping experience this way is what I expected from a company that also sells toys.

They still have a Japanese mindset.

Reminder that you can STILL download wii digital purchases. The game key card scare doesn't even exist.

>>725551024
then id say that still TECHNICALLY counts, they could've easily covered the costs like they covered some other third parties in everywhere but japan

>>725550865
It's just the initial install/if you want to reinstall it because you refuse to buy a proprietary micro sd express card and want to play Tetris with your files instead. But if you're playing it portably all the time, I do think the solution is to just buy those games digitally instead so you can leave the game key cartridges at home. The GKCs do nothing in that circumstance, they're actually a hindrance if anything.

>>725550717

So you're somehow going to either forget to download the games you purchased or deleted them for some reason even though you can't purchase anything else? I'm looking forward to the threads of people whining when they can't download FFCC My Life as a Darklord that they totally were going to play after they bought it over 40 years ago.

The future download concern troll is fucking stupid when it's obvious Nintendo has built the current eshop to be their storefront moving forward. The Wii, 3DS, and Wii U had storefronts with fundamental design issues such as not having any security besides the trust that a system accessing them hasn't been modified.
