If third parties don't want to pay for a cart, that's not Nintendo's fault. 

If Game Key Cards weren't an option, these publishers would just release their games digitally only or code-in-a-box.

I think Nintendo could of done a more intelligent option of not having Game Key Cards and instead having slow storage cards which the games installs from. Essentially how discs work on playstation/Xbox.  


But doesn't that still ignore the more storage required on these slower carts still raises the price?

It does seem like GCK cards are the best solution for matching the cost of disc on PS/Xbox. Disc simply offer the best bang for your buck vs cartridges and ofcourse disc are a non starter for a mobile device. No matter what Nintendo does cartridges just cost too much for most 3rd parties to swallow.
