I'm not buying Nintendo at all, so many shitty policies from that camp
i buy physical because i genuinely think nintendo is one of the last good game devs remaining. but switch 2 is just download cards. i will not be purchasing it.
"one of the last good game devs" brother there has been so much drama with nintendo being a god awful company the past year ALONE.
Their games are genuinely fun though, and they work offline
you can say that about a lot of games and their devs. tons of great indie games out there.
Can't argue with that!
Not in 10+ years when you can't download the rest of the game from the servers because they don't put the whole game on the cartridge anymore. Not to mention patches and DLC aren't on the cartridge either.
They do put the full game on the cartridges, for example I can play TOTK on a new switch with just the cartridge without ever going online.

Did you read this article? It literally says this:
The only games that will be fully available on the cartridge are the ones explicitly singled out. There are 10. How is that significant?
The article literally says
We were talking about Nintendo as a game dev.
