Data transfer speeds are much lower for Switch 2 Game Cards than for downloaded games.

    That’s too bad, the whole point of buying physical is to a. Not need internet, b. Not have access revoked, c. Not fill internal storage. Dev’s feeling the need to move away from it for any reason is bad for consumers in the long run :(

      Yeah it’s bad for consumers which means more money for Nintendo (and publishers/devs) Reselling a physical game card nets 0 profit for either Nintendo nor the game publisher/dev. They really have 0 incentive to go out of their way to support it, sadly.

        One positive though- I heard even the game carts that are just “access keys” are resell-able, though I haven’t tried it.
