Nintendo testing the waters with Pokemon Pokopia and it selling phenomenally well, 2.2 million in 4 days. This has not broken the barrier and flooded the gates wide open for Nintendo to continue to push GKC onto their customers. 

I predict that slowly Nintendo will start moving more and more of their games over to Game Key Cards to the point were at the end of NS2 all major 1st party games will be on the GKC

Pokopia is technically a 2nd party game. So is mainline Pokemon, since Nintendo doesn't own Gamefreak. That doesn't give me much hope for Mario x Rabbids 3 though. Fuck key cards!

Not really a bold prediction, more of a lukewarm prediction. If not for the purpose of cutting down on costs, then to tackle piracy and to stop games from leaking prior to launch. Seeing as successful as Pokopia has been, the waters have been tested, and it seems all is well.

(I still stand by the claim that GKCs are an overblown nonsense issue, but that’s besides the point.)

With how things have gone at Ubisoft in recent years, I genuinely question whether there will be a M+R 3. SoH underperformed, and the lead director behind M+R games left Ubisoft not too long ago to work on Bradley the Badger.
