    I don’t believe it prevents you from using physical games like the real ones not the code ones. I didn’t realize that you can’t get updates and that the code carts are so common now I thought that it was just eshop and online play didn’t work anymore which were both essentially non issues on switch 1. You just had to buy your games physical

      The current physical carts are only available in 64GB size, and the key only carts are a lot cheaper for the Switch 2. Which means higher profits for the publishers, so of course that’s what most of them are going with.

      I don’t actually know if a banned console can still download and install games from a cart, haven’t looked into that specifically. Knowing Nintendo though, they wouldn’t give a shit about customers no longer able to play their purchased games. They don’t care about the customer after purchase in any regard and haven’t for years based on comments and actions they’ve taken.
