Nintendo has confirmed that those sleek new Switch 2 game cards won’t always carry an actual game and will, instead, sometimes simply contain a key for a game download.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins is a great fit for the Nintendo Switch 2, although it's not quite the same experience as the original release.

Koei Tecmo has released a Switch 2-speciifc trailer for Dynasty Warriors: Origins ahead of its launch on January 22 alongside the major DLC coming to all platforms.
If they are sticking to the same 32gb cards as SW1.... I can only imagine more SW2 games will go this route of key cards because they just won't fit. SF6 is 50gb so that will be a key cards game.
At least these are still physical unlike those one time code in a box games. So people can still sell / trade.
It's sort of inevitable, given that game sizes will probably expand. Additionally, the XtraRom that Nintendo uses to manufacture those cards has a substantial increase in price as capacity goes up. But then again, that type of memory is only rated for a 20 years lifespan, so I would backup any game physical or digital as soon as that becomes available.
Why the hell does Nintendo stick with cartridges?
Keep digging that grave, Nintendo
So lame. Use a bigger card or why?
