Eh? But there is a memory card slot? It could be cartridge based which is what it seems like and not "all digital"?

I can't believe people are seriously harping on about this. It's literally just describing an SD card slot. You know, like the one the Wii and Wii U have. It's not cartridge based.

...Unless you and everyone else think it won't have an SD card slot at all and will only have a slot for cartridges. Because that patent only mentions one slot, does it not? Mmm.

Read the patent on GAF it describes a game being read off the card.
