Well, screw Nintendo and their double dipping by shorting us on storage and then allowing game publishers to sell us game-key cards that take up storage space forcing us to buy this overpriced media.
Express is the new standard and is expensive in comparison to the older SD cards. Most people buying these for Switch 2, which can't use the older cards.

Back to this express card: I bought it and am returning the Mario branded one.

Other publishers have as well.
Like on the Xbox and Sony systems that have a disc and still need a large download the key cards are a compromise. At lleast you can resell them and loan them out, unlike a pure digital game.
Nintendo doesn't mandate any publisher use one or the other, so I'm unsure how offering a key card is a play on nostalgia and a money grab by them.
But all of this is an easy find upon research.

Switch 2 Cartridge games are slower than downloads – Tests confirm [overclock3d.net]
Now cite something that makes what you say make sense, since "all of this is an easy find upon research."
Of course other game manufacturers use cartridges. That has nothing to do with what I was saying. Cartridges are the 3rd slowest way to load games on the switch 2, behind the storage that is built into the console, and then the sd express card. I think you're dismissive and lack comprehension skills. Share something that's actual helpful. Just because other companies may do the same thing doesn't mean it's good Nintendo does it too.
