Iningames has revealed that Nintendo now offers two smaller cartridge sizes for Switch 2 games. Was already desperately needed but especially with NAND prices currently rising. The 64gb carts were far too expensive.

I'm guessing it's now 64gb, 32gb and 16gb, but could be 32+8 or 16+8 as well.

R-Type III is now releasing on a physical cartridge because of this, but even with the cheaper smaller cartridge they're still putting up the price compared to what they were going to charge for the key card.

"Two days ago Nintendo announced two new smaller cartridge sizes for Nintendo Switch 2. This allows us to recalculate production in a way that wasn’t possible before. As a result, we’ve made the following decision:

The entire European and US production of R-Type Dimensions III for Nintendo Switch 2 will be released on a full physical cartridge.

A little downside to this positive news: The price for the retail and the special edition of the NSW2 version will increase by €10 due to the still higher productions costs."
