Update: Looks like Torna the Golden Country's physical version is a proper cartridge release after all

Very disappointing if accurate.

 

Update 11/9/18: I phoned Nintendo directly (har har) to ask them what the go was.

The rep I spoke to confessed he didn't know and found it confusing and unclear himself, and said he had to speak to his superiors. (Not a great sign when even Nintendo reps are confused about it)

After 5 minutes on hold, he returned to inform me it was "most likely" just a code in a box.

 

Update #2, 15/9/18: Looks like it's a cartridge after all:
