Naoki Hamaguchi’s perspective on Nintendo Switch 2’s Game Key Cards
Naoki Hamaguchi, director of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, explains that game producers perceive Nintendo Switch 2’s Game Key Cards differently from consumers. They see these cards as a means to enhance loading speeds rather than simply cutting costs.

During a recent interview, Hamaguchi revealed that discussions among game producers regarding Game Key Cards focus on their ability to support demanding HD games that require fast loading speeds. While physical cartridges have slower loading times compared to SSDs, Game Key Cards enable faster loadings on Nintendo Switch 2 by serving as a physical key to initiate the download of the digital version.
Despite potential reservations from fans, Hamaguchi emphasizes that Game Key Cards offer more opportunities to bring games to the Nintendo console. It is important to note that their usage is not mandatory for all players.
