Remember when you use to buy a Switch game and the game would atleast partially before updates, be on the cartridge?
Well imagine buying a key cart for your Switch2 and, you have to download the game from their servers from scratch. The game doesn’t download itself to the cartridge, but onto your Switch 2 consoles internal memory.
Now imagine getting a bad update and trying to delete some data including the update, just to play with the original games version.
physical Key cart games are treated just like they are digital which means you can’t revert the update.
Even if the game is saved onto your Switch’s internal you cannot legally play a key cart game, without the key carts inserted in your switch.
The game data is not stored on the key cartridge but on your switch’s internal memory.

Haven’t we kinda dealt with this issue already on discs?
I can’t think of a physical disc I have bought for my PS5 that does nothing more than download the game to the system once I put it in - with whatever current updated version it is. And I still have to put the disc in to verify I have the physical media - even though it never checks the disc after that point.
And you might say, “Well some of the discs have the whole game on them!” OK, sure. But they immediately download the latest updates once you install the game. And unless I have never seen it, I don’t think there’s a “roll back to X version” option anywhere.
Sir, this is a
Wendy’sNintendo pile-on session.There is no specified roll back to version option, you would normally have to clear the downloaded data. On switch I know you could actually do this with Splatoon games, with a cartridge. With key carts it’s not happening.
