DF Direct: Do Switch and Switch 2 Virtual Game Cards point towards an "adorably all digital" future?


DF Direct Weekly tackles the Virtual Game Cards announced in its recent Nintendo Direct. Do they point towards a digital future, or exactly the opposite?

The new virtual game card uses a familiar metaphor that feels more intuitive at first blush than those of Nintendo's rivals, but it's hard to see the company abandoning its tried-and-tested approach to physical media any time soon. The rest of the Direct is well worth watching, with coverage of some other interesting titbits from the Nintendo announcements - including the Switch 2's C Button and potential game roll-out strategy. Elsewhere, Alex vents over the current state of Nvidia drivers, John shares his hands-on experiences from GDC and we have a series of cracking supporter questions, starting with what the best graphics card(and GPU generation) of all time is.
