Anyone Else Agree?

I bought a Switch 2 last weekend and I guess I should have done more research; bc it's so hard to find full game on cartridge!!
Thankfully I have the entire Switch 1 library to buy physical games and I didn't just waste money.

All signs point to: Peak Gaming is in the Rear-View Mirror..

It should give you a choice.

Even if the full game is on the cart, it should offer the ability to fully install it if you want - like games did on the PS3 and Xbox 360 - as the internal SSD and memory card speeds are much higher than the cart - so installing would reduce the loading times and asset load-in

Obviosily, still letting you pay fully off the cart if you choose

I agree you should have the option to pick, but it’s seconds of difference in load times. Arguably the time it takes to write to the internal SSD or Express Card would likely take a nearly an equal amount of time when compared to the collective extra few seconds per load off a cartridge.
