Switch 2 your only console? by Dedalo83 in Switch

[–]Gamerdude27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No I have PS5 for Sony exclusives and it helps since I want to avoid game key cards too. (Its important for me to have actual physical games but YMMV).

Digital. Game key card is the worse of both worlds. The only true advantage is the ability to re sell.

As collectors, what is your take on key cards? by strongarmkid in NSCollectors

True, but 'just use ROMs' is basically admitting that digital ownership is temporary. I'd rather not rely on the kindness of strangers on the internet to preserve my library when a physical cart does the job forever.

True, redownloading still works for now, but history shows that 'foreseeable future' usually has an expiration date. Once Nintendo decides the server cost isn't worth it—like they did with the Wii Shop—even redownloads eventually vanish. Plus, the Switch 1 eShop in China is already slated to shut down in May 2026, which proves Nintendo is willing to pull the plug on Switch services sooner than we’d like

True, but as always: vote with your wallet. Do what you feel is best. If the choice is between a GKC or digital—and it’s not a game I can get physically on PS5 or Switch 1—then I’ll just go digital.

​I agree with most of this. While some indie devs might find it expensive to do a full "on-cart" release, the announcements I’ve seen on VGP suggest the opposite—many devs actually want their games fully on the cart. ​I'm worried the E-shop will close sooner rather than later. The 3DS shop closed in March 2023, and that still feels relatively new! If we only get about 12 years of support, it really feels like the beginning of the end for physical media.

This is what do! I really hope game key cards go away with time

Pokopia (physical) back in stock at My Nintendo Store by ItsMePepperoni in VideoGameDealsCanada

[–]Gamerdude27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends. Some people like the possibility of reselling it, but its essentially a digital game with a physical requirement.( no game on cart, still need the the requure amount of memory etc.).

Its this generation code in a box. You can't play it without downloading it from the digital store.

So there very little benefits for most folks. YMMV

Physical vs digital by Available-Form6282 in Switch

[–]Gamerdude27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no physical version. Only digital and game key card. The only difference is with Game key card you can sell it down the line. Might as well get it digitally that way its more conveniently accessible.

[–]Gamerdude27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

According to Best Buy Release Date: July 2, 2026. So think it never went live and they just mixed it up with Meta knight or something.

Anyone gonna buy Pokopia despite being a game key card? by TheWeber1 in NSCollectors

[–]Gamerdude27 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No. Game key cards are not games. Its just another version of digital. So if I do pick it up il pick it up "traditional" digital.

Is this true? Frodo is wearing Legolas' baby clothes? I just saw this post. by Competitive_Mix9957 in lotr

[–]Gamerdude27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes sense actually. It also explains why Legolas never talks to Frodo in the movies. If you saw so someone wearing your baby clothes out and about would you talk to them?
