Comments on: Final Fantasy 7 Remake director understands qualms about Switch 2 Game-Key Cards, but for AAA devs, they’re a way to overcome loading speed limitations

I disagree with the final fantasy 7 remake director on game key cards. It’s built on planned obsolescence and when the Nintendo switch 2 eShop servers shut down. The final fantasy 7 remake and bravely default game key cards are going to be worthless junk like et game cartridges buried in the landfill. At this point they should sell Nintendo switch 2 game key cards for less than $10 and make it affordable for us consumers.

In reply to Vanessa. 100% this. The excuse about loading times and filesize is bullshit. Guess what, FFVII Rebirth on PS5 also doesn't fit on 1 100gb blu-ray, and optical media has been WAY too slow to handle anything from the last 2 (really 3.. Ps3 and 360 had some horrible disc based loading times) generations. So they just install to the device from the media, if that means you have 2 install carts and a play cart for rebirth, then so be it.

Maybe Nintendo should fix their limitation instead of forcing this on devs and players…to bad they never will

Nope, no way I will accept a Game Key card. I steering clear from getting a Switch 2.

Too bad you can’t install games to the switch 2 from a cartridge.

Maybe next gen Nintendo can figure out how the PS3,4, and 5(along with Xbone X/X|S) did it.
