Nintendo will offer a few options for game storage on its next console. Many game makers must use Game-Key Cards because Nintendo gives them limited choices. Developers can pick between digital downloads, 64GB cartridges, or these new cards. Most launch games will come as Game-Key Cards since other options remain scarce. Nintendo might add more cartridge sizes later.
Game-Key Cards work much like modern PlayStation and Xbox game discs. The cards need internet connections to download most game content. Players can still share these cards with friends just like regular game cartridges. A recent leak from Arc System Works showed these cards let people download games even where Nintendo stores lack official support. The new console arrives on June 5 across most countries except China and Central America.
