Now I get why they didnt want there to be physical Cardridges
This way, there is no way someone can boot it on a day one version if they didnt buy it right now and updated it to v 1.0, effectively making it impossible for normal to use exploits for older versions
If you didn’t know, there are still physical cartridges, but these do not have the game, but only a „key” which you can download the game with.

That is one of the options, that apparently a lot of the 3rd party devs are using. So far, all 1st party Nintendo titles are announced to include the game on the cartridge (not just a key)
Ah that clarifies a lot actually. I do miss the days where I’d go to a store and buy a physical copy of a game. Then again, they do end up taking up (physical) space of course.

There’s a lot of noise and disinformation floating out there, here’s the simplest explanation:
The Switch 2 will launch with three different types of physical cartridges denoted by serial numbers to describe their purpose:
LB - The cartridge will work on Nintendo Switch 2 consoles only.
LP - Game Key cartridges in which a digital download is required.
LN - The cartridge will work on both Nintendo Switch 1 and 2.

I’m not interested in the Switch 2, but things like that are why I thought about buying one for like a second, just to have a low firmware one.

Yup, my plan was to just buy one and let it sit until something was found. It was just too expensive, though; I can’t warrant that price.

Exactly. It’d be cool to have in a few months/years when the exploits inevitably get patched. But there’s no way for me to justify the purchase at that price point.
Yeah that’s the only reason I’ve considered it. However, things have changed a lot since the Switch 1 came out. Existing Switch emulators will likely work well on Switch 2 soon given the similar hardware and the Steam Deck massively raised the bar on what I expect out of a portable system.
Plus the controller still looks like it sucks for adult hands.

Oh so you can’t buy the physical copy of game for Switch 2? That’s lame.

Answer to both questions is most are.
Largely yes, though there are a number of titles which are currently experiencing issues: Official Compatibility Guide
Yes: Official Guide to Transferring Data from a Switch to a Switch 2
Awesome thanks
This information has been available since the console was announced, why are you waiting until after launch to ask questions?
Yes to both questions.

Beat me to it. :)

I’m considering getting a Switch 1 now. I can find hackable ones for €100 in my area.
But then again, it doesn’t really do anything I can’t do with my other devices.
Yup, I won’t even bother with it, there are a lot of better options nowadays
