“This is one of the new software distribution methods we have introduced to accommodate the larger game data sizes on Switch 2 compared to Switch,” he explained.
“Software can be released in various formats, and we will continue to work closely with software publishers on many fronts to ensure that they actively support our platform.”
Planned to deal with ‘larger’ games, yeah, that’s why Bravely Default used it. It’s so big.
Make smaller, cheaper Carts available to publishers.

When I can go and get a 1TB MicroSD card for under 100 bucks; I can’t fathom a Switch 2 cartridge is in any way nearing it’s max on game size.
Switch 2 carts are reportedly only 64GB in size and cost $16 USD per unit.
Nintendo only makes one size and then game key cards. It’s an artificial cap, as there’s already larger SD Express cards too.
