Switch 2: Game-Key Cards?
It's been revealed that nearly all physical third-party Nintendo Switch 2 games in Japan are Game-Key Cards, and a similar trend is emerging in the West. In the US, Sega's Switch 2 titles, such as Sonic X Shadow Generations and Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut, are being released as Game-Key Cards. So far, only four third-party physical Switch 2 games have been identified as not using Game-Key Cards: Cyberpunk 2077, Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion, Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, and No Sleep For Kaname Date - From AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES Aiba Edition.
Switch 2 Game Previews
IGN recently got hands-on experience with two of the most anticipated Switch 2 launch titles: Donkey Kong Bananza and Mario Kart World. Both are available for preorder from today. Here's what Brian Altano and Logan Plant had to say about these eagerly awaited games.
Donkey Kong Bananza: "I think Bananza is on track to be one of the most visually stunning Nintendo games I've seen. It truly leverages the capabilities of the Switch 2's hardware – the environments are breathtaking, and DK's animations are wonderfully expressive. I left feeling like the next generation of first-party Nintendo games had truly arrived."
Mario Kart World: "Mario Kart World feels like the definitive Switch 2 launch game and will certainly be one of the defining games of the Switch 2 generation. The new open-world format and Knockout Tour modes are significant additions to the franchise. The visuals are stunning, the gameplay is a blast, and we can't wait to play more, even if we wish it was a few dollars cheaper."
