Oh man.......so pretty much all third party games minus CP2077 will use game key cards. Nintendo only offering game key cards or a 64GB card is going to do numbers on game collecting diehards.

Switch 2 game pre-orders have been up in Japan for a few hours, revealing all physical third-party games (so far—except Cyberpunk 2077) that are not "Nintendo Switch 2 Editions" to be shipping on game-key cards (requires internet to download the full game). pic.twitter.com/vof6GWOk4J

Yep, looks like game-keys are going to be the standard for third party on switch 2.Which is a shame considering the 256gb storage and expensive SD cards. But not going to be an issue for me.

I'd love to know how much more the switch 2 cartridges cost to make than the switch 1 carts.

Nintendo at least offered several options with 8, 16, and 32GB cartridges. I remember they were working on 64GB cartridges early in the Switch’s life, but supposedly were having technical issues and dropped it.

So standard cards for Switch 2 I imagine cost more than Switch 1 cards ever did since now 64GB is the only larger capacity card available.
