Encouraging to see it landing on Switch 2 on day one.

Just three years ago, the studio head said that the series didn't belong on Switch cos it was too violent/"underground" for Nintendo's platform; seems they changed their mind.

At this point I just assume every Switch 2 game not from Nintendo is on a Game Key Card. Props to Marvelous and CDPR for not being cheap.

They probably figured that since they were already making a Switch 2 version, they could trim it back a bit further to try to scrape a few sales of those who still haven't upgraded.

The series has a history of this; Yakuza Kiwami 1 came out on PS3 in 2016, well into the PS4 generation.

I dare believe a lot of indies will actually opt for the full cartridge too which will ridicule big 3rd party publishers even more
