🔍 Summary:
At the PAX East 2025 event, Limited Run Games addressed the ongoing debate about the use of physical cartridges for the Nintendo Switch 2. The company, which specializes in releasing physical versions of both classic and contemporary digital games, assured that their own game releases will typically include the complete game on the cartridge. However, they noted an exception for partnership titles not in their numbered series, where the decision to include a full game or use a game key card will be up to the respective developer or publisher.
The discussion has been fueled by concerns among gamers about the increasing trend of physical game releases that require additional downloads or come as incomplete versions, particularly as game file sizes grow. An example provided was the Raidou Remastered collector’s edition, which includes a game key card instead of a full game on the cartridge, a decision made by SEGA and not Limited Run Games.
Game key cards, as explained, do not contain the game data itself but rather a key that, when used, allows the full game to be downloaded from the internet. This method is akin to an activation code used on other platforms. This clarification comes as part of Limited Run Games’ commitment to transparency regarding their product offerings and the choices they make in their releases.
