Nintendo's strongest year for third party support since SNES

They all run from cart for me. Some are Limited Run Game releases though that I have.
Ori for instance has all patches and content on cart, but being the AU release which is based on the EU release, things might be different in the old US of A.

I'm actually in Australia too. :)

I don't have XCOM 2 but looking online the cover has the download required label, while I did pick up Outer Worlds on cart myself and IIRC it needed half the game to be downloaded. (It was 5 years ago now so my memory's not 100% but I'm pretty sure and online the cover also says download required)

At any rate, I do agree third parties kinda saved Switch's 2020 as Nintendo's first party lineup was kinda weak.

I can confirm that I don't need to do any downloads for the Outerworlds... If I wish to run the game unpatched which has performance and visual implications. (Much of which is resolved by just dropping the cart into a Switch 2.)
