John Santina: 2019 has already got off on a good foot, with Metro Exodus and Resident Evil 2 featuring highly on peoples playlists at the moment. Anthem is out and the Division 2 beta will have also whetted appetites as its release date creeps up. And Crackdown 3, well…it exists. I’ve heard it’s okay. It’s not for me.
Now’s the best time to travel to Night City as Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition is the best pickup on the Switch 2 at the moment.
Begone, game-key carts. Full cartridges just work better and here's why.
I didn't bother buying any game key carts for my system despite my preference being physical.
I brought the mkw bundle and that was a digital code but I wasn't going to pay double for the game
I got yakuza 0 digitally as the key card made zero sense to me it costs more and its just a digital game in disguise (I never sell my games anyhow)
...obviously. If a game is 64gb or less, it should release on card. If it exceeds 64gb, the key card comes into play. It does suck that Nintendo wont support smaller cards, SW1 games came on anywhere from 8gb to 32gb cards. The cost of using a 64gb card for a game that would fit comfortably on a 32 or even 16 may not be cost effective for some smaller devs. Hence the use of the key card.
Then again, its taking a page out of Sony's book. They mandated the use of DVD media for all games a few years after the PS2 released. Until then, they supported games on CD. Then when it came to PS3, no game was allowed to use DVD, they all had to be bluray regardless.
Now with PS5, they only use UHD media, no regular bluray for games allowed. Even if the game is smaller than a DVD. So i can see Nintendo trying to standardize their game cards. If devs dont want to pay for the use... the key card is for them.
why even bother buying one of the fake game cards? It's just going to be digital anyway. Save yourself the hassle of having to insert these fake cards and just buy it from the online store.
But I absolutely 100% do not agree with Nintendos take this generation. Forcing the new norm price point, and releasing a majority of their titles digitally with no sense of game preservation. Very disappointing.
Cyberpunk 2077 on the Nintendo Switch 2 is all there and as fun as you remember, but still offers a downgraded version, making concessions to not compromise on the overall scope.
Cyberpunk is one of this gens best RPGs now so it’s a huge game and luckily a lot of ppl probably havnt played it because of the launch.
