Nintendo Switch 2

While this is really great to see, it sucks to subsequently find out that the other games Bethesda announced this morning are gonna be a code in a box. I guess they only decided to put their best game on cart since Microsoft is probably still pumping a bunch of money into AI :/

Indiana Jones will be physical when it comes out in April!

No freaking way man. I thought for sure this would be a game key card since it wasn’t even on the Xbox or PS5 discs! This is amazing!!! The other Bethesda games don’t bother me because I’m not getting them lol.

Pokemon Fire Red and Green are coming to Switch 2....20 dollars each. No word on online trading yet but will be talked about in a Pokemon direct next week right before the game comes out

It is confirmed that the game will not have online functionality, battling and trading will be limited to local wireless. The game will have Pokémon Home support though, which allows for online trading and transferring to other games.

Meh. I’ve got FireRed on my Steam Deck with a mod that lets you obtain all the Pokémon between both versions without having to trade along with other things added.

Ok Pokémon. You might actually have my attention with this one.

I'll be picking up one of the Pokemon GBA games that come out today

I don't remember beating the post game content in these so excited for some new content in one of my favorite games

So to follow up on this earlier news, insiders have been coming out saying that these smaller cartridges are indeed gonna be a thing. How much this curbs GKCs remains to be seen.




I wanna have hope we could eventually get non GKC reissues of games, because supposedly there were Switch 1 games that did start out as Code In a Box before getting cartridge releases (having trouble finding which ones though), but unfortunately vice versa with Octopath Traveler, Nier Automata, and Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope.

Also, I think it's possible that this is another avenue of technology that AI has been f-ing up, considering RAM prices, GPUs and other stuff I'm probably missing have been getting messed up by AI. :x

I forgot to share a small update on this, but there is at least another score on more proper physicals following this news. This was a game that got announced in a previous direct, mind you.
