Limited Run offers full games on Switch 2 cartridges

Limited Run Games announced that its numbered releases for the Nintendo Switch 2 will contain the full game on the cartridge. This ensures a true physical game experience for collectors. The physical game distributor confirmed this at PAX East 2025, clarifying that this policy applies only to its numbered releases. Partnered releases, not part of the numbered line, may still use game-key cards, depending on the third-party publisher's choice. This decision offers reassurance to those seeking "forever physical" games on the Switch 2. The move contrasts with the potential for game-key cards, which require a download to play the full game.
