Right, and here we are again. But if Nintendo wants to upgrade Switch's power for a game, they could potentially add more hardwear to a Switch cartridge. It might be bigger and stick out the top but it would work.

It would. But, there's no real reason for it. Pokemon Pinball had rumble, built into the card. Simply because the GB had no way to do that. It was feasable. Because there where no other means of doing it. And it wasn't cheaper to just build everything into the system. We could still be using VHS tapes, for HD content. We choose not to. There are better and easier ways to deal with it. Adding in the hardware, to make a game better. Just benefits that game only.

 

And when Nintendo comes out with a $80.00 Metroid Switch game that uses the Super Switch FX Chip that wont benefit Nintendo?
