Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 is already running custom graphics through exploit one day after launch

Now I get why they didnt want there to be physical Cardridges

This way, there is no way someone can play 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

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

  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.

    Are Switch 1 cartridges compatible with the Switch 2?
    
    Are digital download games I bought on my account with the Switch 1 playable on the Switch 2?

    Largely yes, though there are a number of titles which are currently experiencing issues: Official Compatibility Guide

    This information has been available since the console was announced, why are you waiting until after launch to ask questions?
    
    Yes to both questions.

  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.
