@Dude @SenSen_93 @Ronnie21093 if Nintendo didn't allow this, publishers would just ship digital codes instead. If Nintendo didn't allow that, then they probably wouldn't ship anything at all and keep it download only. For how publishers want to share their games, I think this is unfortunately the best option :P
@Ronnie21093 @Dude @SenSen_93 well then there just won't be any third party games at all lol
@Ronnie21093 @Dude @SenSen_93 I think the problem isn't game size as much as it is paying for the cartridge. It's probably way cheaper to manufacture game keys instead of actual carts (which are also more expensive than discs).
I think most of the games that are put out with the key carts wouldn't have been physical releases to begin with, but this gets them on store shelves for a fraction of the cost and is still more valuable to the consumer than a digital download, since you can sell/lend these carts. So I'm not too riled up about it. It's a good middle-ground solution.
