Nintendo Announces Virtual Game Cards for Digital Games on Switch
Today in a Nintendo Direct, it was announced that starting with future purchases, games for the Nintendo Switch will be digitally delivered as Virtual Game Cards. These cards can be transferred to another Nintendo Switch system (under the same account) via an internet connection, similar to the process of loading and ejecting a physical game card. The initial link between the two systems is only required locally once, while an internet connection is needed only during the transfer process itself. Additionally, this new feature is expected to allow for exchanging Virtual Game Cards between a Nintendo Switch and a potential future Nintendo Switch 2 system.
