The team behind InZoi has expressed interest in a Nintendo Switch 2 port, but whether that’s possible depends on the system’s specs.
The life sim game just hit Early Access last month. Since then, it’s taken off with plenty of interest and positive player feedback. We probably won’t be seeing the full launch anytime soon, but fans are already curious about whether or not we could see it on Nintendo’s upcoming console.

Code-in-box games still seem to happening on Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 1 week ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
With Nintendo Switch 2 introducing game-key cards, there was the hope that code-in-box releases – which were somewhat common on Switch 1 – would no longer be happening. However, that doesn’t appear to be the case.
Many third-party Nintendo Switch 2 titles at launch will be game-key cards. This means that you’re getting a cartridge, but as there’s no data, you still need to download everything from the internet. It’s still much better than a code-in-box release, which doesn’t let you give the copy to a friend or sell it later on.
