Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 78226, member: 636"] Nintendo is making smaller capacity game cartridges for the Switch 2, but the unpopular Game Key cards are probably not going anywhere. These cards, which force a full digital download while just acting as a license, became common because the only cartridges available were expensive sixty-four gigabyte versions. The new, smaller carts are a response to developer feedback, but a chip shortage means they will not be widely available for a while. Even when they are, the cost of materials will keep cartridge prices high. This likely means publishers will still often choose the cheaper Game Key card option for retail releases, disappointing fans who want a true physical copy on the cartridge itself. [/QUOTE]
