It's kinda like what's already happening to some of the Switch 1 games. The digital download code being sold inside the physical case, but it only applies to certain games that are either too big to fit on the cartridge or the companies didn't want to buy the 64GB cartridge that are expensive.
Of course, I still think it sucks that they're doing that with certain games. But I'm glad it's not applied to all games. If this actually applied to all games, this would be a major hard pass for me.
I'm also not too happy about the games being $80 or $90. Sure, there are certain games that won't cost that much. Donkey Kong Bananza will cost $70, but still... The prices for these games are insane.

I was thinking of getting the Switch 2 a year later. Why? Well, I usually don't buy brand-new consoles on launch day because sometimes early copies of the console might have issues from the start. Plus, I want to see how well the new console does in performance, sales, etc. After seeing the prices for some of these Switch 2 games, I'm not so sure.
It also doesn't help that the inflation prices are basically high everywhere. Unfortunately, people have to be more frugal with their money and only buy the essentials. I feel bad for people outside the U.S. where the prices for the Switch 2 games are more expensive than in the US.
This kinda reminds me of when Nintendo first released the 3DS and the price for that was expensive for a small handheld. There was a lot of backlash to a point that Nintendo had to reduce the price on the 3DS. I wonder if the same thing will happen for the Switch 2?
