Crazy how much misinformation there is about the game key card thing. They literally said during the direct that the Switch 2 has improved game cards with higher data transfer speeds. Game keys are literally just a shitty 3rd party dev thing that already exists.

Excuse me for today's events. I have managed to wrestle back control over my dark urges and would like to sincerely apologize for deviating from dedicating myself to posting nothing but Mario Facts™. The curse of Shadow Rations has been dispelled and Luigi Ership has returned.
