Former Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has commented on the launch lineup for Switch 2, which he seemed to be a bit puzzled by at first.
The Game Business‘ Christopher Dring was speaking about the initial wave of games for the console in comparison to its predecessor. On Switch, within the system’s first few months, Nintendo came out with megahits like Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey. We also saw a new IP in Arms, Splatoon 2 which did very well (especially in Japan), and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – one of Nintendo’s best-selling games ever.

List of all Nintendo Switch 2 games with a game-key card release
Posted on 6 days ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Following the launch of Nintendo Switch 2, we’re putting together a complete list of Nintendo Switch 2 games with a game-key card release.
This is a new approach to physical media, which has seen a mixed reaction. In a way, it’s a hybrid between a true physical release and a download code. Each box comes with a cartridge, but there’s nothing really included. Rather than coming with all content, you’ll need to download the game first. After that you don’t need to connect online, but you need to insert the card each time you play.
