Nintendo is asking for feedback in one region about one of the most controversial features of the Nintendo Switch 2. Almost all the third-party physical game releases for the Switch 2 have been Game-Key Cards, and it has been reported that third-party game sales for the Switch 2 are selling much fewer units than expected, with Cyberpunk 2077 being one exception. Now, it seems Nintendo is taking a look at this practice and is trying to determine how much knowledge Nintendo fans have about the Game-Key Cards.
As reported by SwitchSoku (text in Japanese), Nintendo has sent Japanese players a survey to gauge their awareness of Game-Key Cards and if they affect the players' willingness to buy a game if they know the physical release is a Game-Key Card and not a full game cartridge (via VGC). The survey has only three questions, but each of them has several different answers to pick from.
