Eh…  I just don’t see how GKC would be any different for somebody such as yourself (who I suspect isn’t dumping cartridges anyways) than having the full game on cart. Is it not just the difference between having your game load on your NS2 via a key versus via the console directly accessing the files specifically on the cartridge? And the difference between digital and GKC is much more marked than GKC and physical: You still get the benefit of owning a physical cartridge which grants you the keys to a game, and you still have the ability to resell.

The only issue I can really think of is dumping, but even then, people will almost certainly find a way to dump digital copies of these games onto their PC regardless. There’s also the end-of-times fear that a lot of people have… just seems like a major mountain-out-of-a-molehill.

Name one game on PS/Xbox that essentially had a download code before the Switch 2 launched.

You are right However. They are a verryy small amount of games that do not have the whole game on disc(like hogwarts legacy)

Almost all games are on disc(besides the horrible patches ofcourse)

Goo check out the site "does it play" and be amazed.

With switch2 most are NOT on cartridge.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and Doom the Dark Ages, off the top of my head.

Neither released before the launch of the Switch 2...

Doom the Dark Ages technically did release almost a month before SW2. 

Edit: Indiana Jones released in 2024.

Doom the Dark Ages came out on May 15th 2025 and Indiana Jones came out in December 2024 on Xbox and April 2025 on PS5, both prior to Switch 2's release in June 2025.

I guess Indiana Jones did too, but the fact that he said "quite a while" is just not true.

As far back as last gen there are PS4/XBO games where the disc doesn't contain the full game and you need to download the game to play it.

But those are a verry small % of games. Compared to almost ALL switch2 games.
