- Nintendo says he wants “to the test of the future” the switch 2 as the original switch
- Since the game sizes become larger, the game key cards will allow more games on the platform
- Nintendo wants to “make sure people can publish games” on switch 2
Nintendo wants to make sure that the Switch 2 is “time test”, and he tries to reach it with his new game key cards.
In a recent interview with Nintendo Life after the Direct Switch 2, Nintendo of America Vice-President of the development of products and the publication of Nate Bihldorff has discussed new corporate game key cards and the way they authorize more games on the platform, whatever the size.
When asked if the game keys will be exclusive to third-party titles, Bihldorff said that he did not know a specific roadmap for those who were going to use the keys and that they are “only another way we can have games on our platform”.
“Obviously, there is a finished quantity of memory on a game card, and if you are a publisher who has a game bigger than that, it would always be a way of being able to obtain a commercial version of your game on the system,” he explained. “Probably the only way. The game sizes have become really large, so [Game Key] only provides another avenue. “”
Bihldorff added: “The switch lasted eight years. We really want to test the future [Switch 2] And make sure people can publish games on it, and I think it will talk about it. “”
Nintendo confirmed after the SWITCH 2 direct that the gaming key cards will contain a “key” of download and do not include complete game data like other physical editions.
We know games like By default courageously And Street Fighter 6: Edition of fighters of the year 1-2 will have only one key card key, while new titles like Mario Kart World And Donkey Kong Bananza will offer standard physical game cards such as the original switch.
The Nintendo Switch 2 is officially launched on June 5, 2025 and will cost $ 449.99 / £ 395.99 or $ 499.99 / 429.99 £ for a Mario Kart World pack.
