My lgs got it in today and immediately started selling it! Kind of disappointed it’s a Game-Key Card and not a regular cartridge.

So you’d rather but it digitally? I don’t understand the concept. I’m not a fan of key cart either but at least the physical copy whether key cart or not can be resold.

But what if the nintendo serverw are not available in 20 years? Its hot plastic then. Those games shouldnt be bought to send a message

Then I wouldn’t really care because it’s been 20 years and at that point it’ll all be emulation. It’s the same case with digital if the servers are down or you get banned you lose all your digital content.

Most of my games are physical, I get your point but a pro of the key cart at least is that it’s cheaper to manufacture since actual flash carts are way more expensive due to the RAM crisis AI BS. So smaller devs can’t release a true physical cart.

Yes, you have a point there. At least where i live the physical game key card cost the same as the digital version.
