There are definitely a bunch of games that I would have purchased if they had physical releases. Resident Evil, Oblivion, Final Fantasy and Cronos to name a few. I don't really consider myself as missing out on these key card titles because I most likely won't have the time to play them all anyway. As far as a guy that keeps all my media physical and has a small collection of games that I really am fond of, it's too bad they won't be a part of that library.
I understand the issue with the cost of the game carts and also the storage limitations, and I feel that is an oversight on Nintendo's behalf that should have been thought better of and reworked before Sw2 released. Despite those hurdles, Cyberpunk and Indiana have shown that, within reason, it can be done with talent and care. I purchased those two games not knowing if I'll ever actually play them. I bought them purposefully to support quality games with physical releases.
I see no arguably good purpose for the key card. Who actually cares about the measly amount of coin you'll get back for trading the used game in, especially being a key card that is a quite unpopular format. So, you get to take hours of downtime to dl a game that takes up a goodly portion of the storage...and still have to carry the cartridges with you to "unlock it". It is arguably a better idea just to purchase the digital format and not have to dick around with the worthless cartridges.
After the onslaught of game announcements the past couple weeks, you can bet that if there is a physical option for any of them, that's where my dollars will be spent.
