Generally, my wife does not play video games very often, as she’s always been more keen to cozy up with a good book and warm cup of tea during her free time. There are exceptions, of course – she did complete two 70+ hour playthrough of Hogwarts Legacy, to her credit – but for the most part, she simply hasn’t found many games that have piqued her interest. The only major exception to that trend is when a new game from Hazelight Studios comes out. She and I had a blast playing the studio’s previous two titles, A Way Out and It Takes Two, on the couch together over the past several years, and from time to time she would ask me if there was a sequel or something similar to those games that we could play. Needless to say, I was excited to learn that the studio’s next game, Split Fiction, would be a launch game for the Nintendo Switch 2, and was eager to put their latest genre-mashing, reality-shifting co-op adventure through its paces.

Code-in-box games still seem to happening on Nintendo Switch 2

Posted on 2 months 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.
