    Nintendo clearly wants to transition to digital only for some reason, even though they’re releasing some first party games on the carts still.

    I keep seeing people say that, but I don’t see any evidence of it. Nintendo (or at least the video game publishing division) seems to be the biggest proponent of “game on cart” releases. Even Limited Run Games is announcing that they will make Game Key Cards for many of their releases.

      What do you mean? Nintendo decides what options are available for their console and how much they cost.

      They could have made both card options cost the same. They could have more than just a 64GB option at different costs for larger or smaller games. They could have made it a requirement that the key carts are only able to be used if the game doesn’t fit on the options with storage.

      There’s a lot of other options than just making the objectively inferior option significantly cheaper.
