    That’s not true. The physical games do contain the game. Game-key cards do not. There is a difference

      Wait so there will be two different types of cartridges? Some that do hold game data and others that don’t and are just the digital key?

      I was under the impression this would be all cartridges for the Switch 2.

        Yes. In the direct they specifically said that physical game cartridges will be the same shape and size as switch 1 cartridges, but will be red and are much faster. Then in their customer support documentation on their website it says that game key cards are different from regular game cards and will be clearly labeled as “game-key card” on the packaging. However, this doesn’t mean that they will always produce working physical games. This game-key card thing may just be a way to slowly transition into an all digital market without causing a sudden uproar
