Physical vs. digital games on Nintendo Switch 2 – advantages and disadvantages
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan Gnau in Features, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
It’s 2026, and with each passing year, physical media is phased out just a little bit more – which is why it’s so important that we try to preserve it!

Indeed, despite rising manufacturing costs, most of Nintendo’s first and second party offerings are available physically on Switch 2 with no strings attached. And even though that should be kind of a baseline expectation at this point, it’s refreshing to see at least some companies trying to sell physical media. So today, we’re talking about the advantages and disadvantages of physical and digital media, and of course going over the dreaded Game-Key Cards while we’re at it.
Xenoblade Chronicles X’s new Nintendo Switch 2 Edition has some issues
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Nintendo not only announced Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition for Switch 2 this week, but launched the game digitally as well. But now that players have had some hands-on time with the game, we’re hearing about some visual issues.
Nintendo did say the game runs up to 60 frames per second, and that’s mostly the case. However, the action can run just slightly lower than that in busier areas such as New Los Angeles. The good news is that you’re pretty much getting 60 FPS when moving around Mira or during combat.
