Nintendo Switch 2’s gameless Game-Key cards are going to be very common
1 min read
Summary
Nintendo Switch 2 console made its pre-orders debut in the US last night, with listings also made for games and accessories, some of which relate to pricing and packaging rumours.
Retailers in the US such as Best Buy, Target and Walmart all faced problems with their websites due to the volume of orders.
Gaming titles such as Mario Kart World have an 80 dollar MSRP in physical releases in the US, rather than the previously rumoured 90 dollars.
Physical game releases will cost the same as digital games, with 3rd party releases costing between 40 to 100 dollars.
It is likely that most third-party titles in physical form will be Game-Key cards which are inserted to allow downloads from Nintendo’s online store, but necessitating their insertion each time to play.
This has met some resistance as these cards are not traditional physical game releases.
