Nintendo's Switch 2 will support both regular game cards and game-key cards. Game-key cards don't contain the full data and are instead used as a key to download the full game to your system via an internet connection.https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2025/04/switch-2-game-key-cards-wont-make-it-easy-for-physical-collectors-in-japan https://www.nintendolife.com/guides/every-nintendo-switch-2-game-key-card-release _ |

On 'Switch 1' most games are on cart and you ONLY need to download the latest updates for them. (Which keeps the memory footprint low) Few exceptions are DOOM, Wolfenstein and Bioshock Collection etc. But they can be counted with like one hand's fingers lol (Two at most afaik) |
