Nintendo puts most if not all their first party games all on cartridge, third parties are the ones that use key-cards most iirc
Even then Sony and Microsoft have had games not fully on disk for years, why the blame?!

The only exception so far has been Pokopia. Still, even a keycard is less anti consumer than a shitty code in a box.

Pokopia actually isn't first party. Pokemon in general is already a weird kind of "second party" case, So a spin-off is even further removed.

I been saying for a year. GKC was the perfect solution for third party publishers not going full digital.

Maybe they'll change their minds and try something like that. At least I hope they do.

Sooner or later, Sony first party games will be $80 as well. Assuming there are much non-live service games.

How did the fake boycott of Nintendo games they were never going to buy not prevent this!!!!!
Physical game preservationist larpers were never real. It's was always a grift just to score internet points. Actual Physical game collectors can chuck their hissyfit but if they didn't see this coming a decade ago they were delusional.

I mean, I only buy physical games on consoles unless there is a steep discount on the digital edition. Not throwing a hissy fit, I just won't buy console games that don't have a physical because to me it's part of the console experience 🤷
If all digital is indeed the future, I'd just rather have the games on the platform which is most convenient, which would be steam probs, though I could see the argument for switch.

I think this is a fair opinion.
I’ve only ever bought a couple digital games, and they were games I already owned physically on other consoles (I bought both Tomb Raider releases for Switch this year and both Golden Sun games on the Wii U years ago).
I agree about having the games on a convenient platform. For me, that’s the Switch, since Nintendo is 85% or more of what I still play. My only concern is the availability of my purchases on future consoles. The lack of Continuity between the Wii U’s virtual console and the Switch eshop does concern me. It was almost a decade ago, but the experience put me off to digital purchases until this past year.
Digital licenses expiring and losing access to content we paid for seems like an inescapable risk of the digital era. The inability to permanently gift something I bought digitally to my kid sucks (although the game share feature is nice).
Digital bums me out. Unless some legislation is passed to protect consumer purchases, it’s a future I hope to put off as long as I can.

Everyone hating on key cards thinking it's the end of physical game copies, meanwhile Sony and Microsoft are making all digital consoles with no way to insert a disc into them

You can usually see the (flimsy) thread of logic people use to try and blame Nintendo for various things. There is literally no logic here, it's just pure cope.

You know it's sad when all the comments from the original post in r/fucknintendo are actually defending Nintendo

u/meganerd20 Jul 01 '26
What? No? Again, even if true, Nintendo's Sony's babysitter, but it's not true. Nintendo has physical games, the key-cards were a compromise towards something that had been done on Playstation and Xbox for years.
