The only thing “convoluted” about this whole announcement was pricing.
The price of the console
The price of the games
The price of their online services and upgrades…
All of that is gut-wrenching as Nintendo claws at its dedicated fans wallets.
Otherwise the features and games look amazing, i understand why people are willing to pay those prices.
Fingers crossed we luck out with easy jailbreaks and emulators like we did for the Switch 1.

Nintendo won’t make this mistake again. But I’m like you, also hoping their security experts are the same dipshits as before so we can resume pirating the entire overpriced Nintendo library.
Nintendo continuously makes the easiest to hack and emulate consoles and handhelds. They been fighting emulation for 30 years and still churn out systems that get cracked immediately.
They made a change that the cartridges no longer hold the game data but will require a download of the game and the cartridge is just a key for the digital game.
That will stop game dumping from the cartridge. But with a jailbroken console, we can still get the game that way.
Yes. In the direct they specifically said that physical game cartridges will be the same shape and size as switch 1 cartridges, but will be red and are much faster. Then in their customer support documentation on their website it says that game key cards are different from regular game cards and will be clearly labeled as “game-key card” on the packaging. However, this doesn’t mean that they will always produce working physical games. This game-key card thing may just be a way to slowly transition into an all digital market without causing a sudden uproar

17th time’s the charm
The first model run of Switches had an SOC hardware flaw that was Nvidia’s fault.

That’s not true. The physical games do contain the game. Game-key cards do not. There is a difference
Wait so there will be two different types of cartridges? Some that do hold game data and others that don’t and are just the digital key?
I was under the impression this would be all cartridges for the Switch 2.
