    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

        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)

            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?

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

                  2. Yes: Official Guide to Transferring Data from a Switch to a Switch 2
