List of all Nintendo Switch 2 games with a game-key card release

Following the launch of Nintendo Switch 2, we’re putting together a complete list of Nintendo Switch 2 games with a game-key card release.
This is a new approach to physical media, which has seen a mixed reaction. In a way, it’s a hybrid between a true physical release and a download code.

After that you don’t need to connect online, but you need to insert the card each time you play.
