Nintendo's New Game-Key Cards Blend Physical and Digital Gaming
Nintendo has revealed Gmail-Key Cards for the upcoming Switch 2. These cards, not linked to a specific Nintendo account, allow players to download games via the internet. Industry experts view this as a move to blend physical and digital markets, offering users more flexibility.
The cards, not tied to a Nintendo account, can be used on any Switch 2 system. Once inserted, they enable a game download and must remain in the console even after installation. A first internet check is required. This strategy could breathe new life into the used game market, as the cards can be resold. However, there are worries about the cards' longevity if Nintendo ever shuts down the Switch 2 servers, potentially making games undownloadable.
Nintendo's Gmail-Key Cards for the Switch 2 aim to merge physical and digital markets, offering users flexibility and the potential to revive the used game market. However, concerns about the cards' long-term viability persist, should Nintendo discontinue Switch 2 server support.
