I'm going to wait on this one. We don't have proper box art for that one yet.
VGP has Hyrule Warriors: Calamity as a GKC release, but hey, I hope they're wrong and that it's a full cart.

So Techmo Koei has more pull over how it's published, given that they self-published in Japan... just like Pokemon Pokpia, also developed mostly by Techmo Koei by The pokemon company in Japan... You know i think Nintendo gives the companies they partner with too much wiggle room with how they decide to release them... then again i don't think there has been much development on Switch 2 Cart sizes beyond maybe there being 16 and 32GB carts and if they redid the models or texturework to be bigger or more complex, chances are that would increace the file size more than those thresholds.
Those who watch AVGN will remember this one...
The price? $35.

It's really cool this is getting a physical release, but realistically it's a game you'd buy from the eShop for $2-3. They should've done an Arcade Compilation to make that value worth it.

Is that brawler any good? AVGN isn't worth a spit for honesty in reviews as it's just clickbait.
Also LimitedRun is finally delivering their first Switch2 releases into homes with High on Life, the concept despite my apathy with FPS games these days, was one I grabbed out of curiosity, Earnest Evans Collection was in the bag too which was nice to see given I'll never own a Sega CD for that third part there.

The game is loads of fun like The Simpsons Arcade, but I'm not sure it's long enough to be worth $35.
That's good to know, and likely it is not, but there are costs involved in those cards vs the lower barrier of some optical media. Those 64GB cards were like $17 each when it came out over a year ago, even if they used one 1/2 that size I'd doubt they're sold for under $10 so there is a painful margin to cover before the usual operating costs so I kind of get it.
Bought Kirby and the Forgotten Land for the Switch 1 and unfortunately it only runs at 30fps, I thought it'd be 60. So there is a legitimate reason to buy the NS2 cart if it's available.
High on Life Nintendo Switch 2 version is now shipping and arriving from LImited Run Games it's #1 for the NS2 library and it's all on the card. I didn't see that unless I missed it on the top physical games listing. May apply to the NS1 with 2 on card, not sure how this one works, but it's worth adding.

Personally, I go based on if the game is actually designed well for the frame rate specified. I mean, good games like Pokémon HeartGold didn't need to be 60 FPS to be good, or playable. Obviously, 60 FPS will feel smoother than 30 FPS, but I wouldn't say it's entirely a deal breaker if it isn't there. Now if it turns out the game is objectively horrible at 30 FPS, then yes, the Nintendo Switch 2 version is probably more ideal.
