Please use traditional cartridges (not key cards) for the Switch 2.

Hey everyone,

With all the rumors swirling around the Switch 2, there’s one specific thing I really hope Nintendo changes from the current setup: we need to go back to normal, fully loaded cartridges and ditch the "game key card" approach. Right now, buying a physical game feels like a gamble. Half the time, you open the case only to find a cartridge that essentially acts as a digital key, forcing you to download 30GB+ of data anyway. It completely defeats the purpose of buying physical!

If Nintendo uses higher-capacity cartridges for the next console, it would fix so many issues:

• True Plug-and-Play: We shouldn't have to wait hours for a day-one download just to play a game we literally hold in our hands.

• Preservation: Years from now, when the servers eventually go down, those "key cards" will be useless plastic. Actual cartridges mean the games are preserved forever.

• Storage Space: MicroSD cards are cheap, but internal storage shouldn't be eaten up by physical games that refused to put the data on the cart.

Nintendo has always been the king of physical media. I really hope they step up the tech for the Switch 2 carts so physical collectors actually get what they pay for.

What do you guys think? Are you fine with the current download requirements, or do you want 100% on-cartridge games next gen?
