By Inform the company of your desires—what you truly, truly crave (once more)

Nintendo has once more been polling the community for feedback, as noted a handful of weeks ago, covering boxed versus downloadable titles alongside the reception of game-key cards. Short version: reception is chilly at best.
Fresh intel from Eurogamer reveals the House of Mario has rolled out another questionnaire for keen participants. You can jump straight to it here and share your two cents.
This new set of queries dives deep into your sentiments on picking up titles digitally or in physical format through various avenues.
The screenshots show Nintendo is particularly interested in how bothered you are about the cartridge holding the full game, if that even registers, and how shopping in person or online influences your choice. That sort of thing.
All signs suggest Nintendo is painfully aware folks aren’t fans of the game-key card experiment.
In any event, this is a prime moment—whatever stance you hold—to make your voice heard unequivocally. Just blaze through the multiple-choice list (took us roughly four minutes, for reference).
Still, even after plenty of grumbling from Switch 2 users, publishers continue to applaud Game-Key Cards, so odds are they’re sticking around for the foreseeable future…
If you’d like extra context on the physical, digital, and Game-Key Card debate, our own Zion devoted a video to the topic after last week’s Partner Showcase—worth a look:
Holding any fierce opinions on game-key cards by now? Drop them into the comments!
