This is exactly what worries me about Game-Key Cards 😕 When the download isn’t available, your “physical game” becomes nothing more than a piece of plastic that can’t even play the game you paid for. I’m sorry, but I just can’t consider that a real physical release. And now we’re seeing a concerning example with Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: Holiday Play Edition on Switch 2. A physical owner reports being unable to download or play the game after inserting their Game-Key Card. The console displays error 2016-0070, while the eShop lists a download size of just 82 MB, compared to around 2 GB for the Switch 1 version. The cause is still unclear, and we don’t know how widespread the issue is. No download. No game. That’s the risk of a format that depends entirely on external downloads. Hopefully GameMill and Nintendo can get this resolved quickly.
