Typical DRM bullshit as usual. Always get you by the balls in some way or another.
Sadly, nothing is plug n play now and is ruined by the aforementioned.
Not DRM, storage limitations.

The only way anybody ends up caring about this is if Nintendo uses a time machine to go back and install a proprietary memory card slot on Switch instead of mSD. Short of that, it's not going to make any difference. I don't know about y'all, but the first thing I did when I bought Switch was pop a 64GB mSD in it.I cant help but think this is going to be bad for the end user in time.
This so much. At this point why do we even need the discs anymore. They are just a nuisance. I have the game installed on my system but I have to switch discs to play them. Ridiculous. I'm conflicted. With the way everything is set up you can still play and resell your game by the disc but with updates and downloads and content you don't even get the full experience anymore.
for carts, game comp/publisher "lets use a cheeper and Smaller size to save on money" so now the end-user has more to pay (SD card and internet)
MS tried this, the market rejected it, and are probably still paying the price for that decision today. You can thank Don Matrick for completely bungling the XBone reveal and making sure no will attempt that idea again.This so much. At this point why do we even need the discs anymore.

again, Microsoft and Sony have the entire game on the disc itself and you can install them OFFLINE 40 years from now but the way Nintendo is doing it makes it so that the rest of the game is stored on their SERVERS and you need to go online to even fetch the rest of the game. Is that so hard to get ? Seems most people in this thread aren't getting this.And here we're, getting angry at an invention that has been used since the freaking original Xbox. It's nothing new that games sometime store extra things on external media. It's like the norm today. But when Nintendo does it, it's suddenly bad?

ISPs are dicks, but this is universally a problem across all consoles, not Switch specifically. Some games will need one download before being playable portable, but most seem to have the whole game on-cart. Same deal with discs and day-one patches.I have no major problems with external media on the Switch. What I'm mad about is that the first retail cart has appeared that does not include the complete base game on the cart. If the Switch is meant to be portable, its retail games have to work out of the box, especially when you lack internet access (e.g. you live in the country with no internet, or crappy DSL). And don't say people have unlimited data plans on their phones nowadays so it's okay, because tethering by major US carriers is limited to 10GB monthly. That's not enough for any modern console at all.
Welcome to 2017. Xbone and PS4 both shove full game downloads down your throat, they don't even put anything on the disk so be grateful Nintendo is actually going to try.
Are you that dumb ? Servers don't stay online forever ! Like i already said xbox and sony games have the full game on disc wich makes them playable offline in 20 years or more while the switch cartridges won't work fully anymore. Is that so hard to get ?As for needing online...what is this 1995? Everyone has fucking internet. You're ON THE INTERNET right now. Having to download additional data will be an inconvenience to an absurdly small% of people. Get over it.
Why do Nintenyearolds cry about everything
26gb*What's the point of having a Switch with 32GB when 32GB more costs $10?
