Split Fiction - Nintendo Switch 2 Game

I was looking for a new game to play with my girlfriend I saw that this game was highly rated looked for the best price and **** Walmart y'all were a whole 10 dollars below the competition

I have already heard of parents yelling at thier kids for losing the physical game, and buying a second copy only to find out that its only sold as a code in a box, there has never been a physical release. The game is great, its got coop, parents can play with kids for hours, its on all platforms, and its just awesome to have a genre of games that works like this one does. BUT this is just the code in a box for downloading the game. They never put this game on an actual cartridge for Nintendo Switch 2, which is what I was expecting to purchase because the front of the package doesnt have the awefule white band warning that it could be a key-card game. There is all kinds of hate about key-card games, which dont have any game data on the cartridge, and cause you to download the game from Nintendo servers and store it on your switch just like a downlaoded game. The packaging for key-card games has huge 1-inch tall warning labels spanning across the entire the bottom front of the case/box, but at least those games are often $10-20 cheaper on average than full MSRP games price regularly $59.99-$79.99, and key-card game cartridges can be resold after playing letting the next owner enter the key-card code online and downlaod the game, locking out the original owner from playing, but acting closer to owning the full game on cartridge. than a straight up one time use game code. Meanwhile, this game is a code in a box at full MSRP. It has no resale value, no physical kart for ownership, and the biggest problem: nowhere near the visual warning on the packaging. Is it on there? Yes, in text over the ESRB rating. Compare that to the insaely alrge waring on the Key-Card game cases, and you can see the frustration on paying more for less, you feel duped. For the price I paid, better games have been made a key-card game for less. The price should have been even lower, and the code in a box should have as big a label, if not bigger than what key-card games get.

The game itself is brilliant but I left only three stars for this code-in-box version because the download size is ENORMOUS. 75 Gbs! Thats about ten time bigger than the average high quality switch game. Definitely get the game card if you can so you're not taking up such a huge chunk of your storage space.

The game's great! You do need two people to play, but we knew that going in. The thing that sucks is that when you open the box there's no game cartridge. Theres a download code, but what the point of buying a physical game if you don't get a physical game. I could have just bought the card that has a game code. There's even a spot in the box for the game card, it's just not there. Just a thing I'm not loving.

It was a downloadable key, and not the physical game. It should have been more clear in the description and on the box that it was not the physical disc.

The case was empty and contained a code for a digital download. This is so misleading, I wanted to play this game with my partner and we opened it up and were so disappointed, had to wait hours for it to download. Then we got it to download and it requires TWO sets of joycons, this was not indicated ANYWHERE on the box!! I'm so annoyed with the game at this point.

The game is fun so far and in itself a 4 or 5/5, but the fact that the "physical" edition is just case with a digital code inside of it feels intentionally deceptive and wasteful. Maybe I'll find a use for the case, but I'm sure most are going straight to landfills. Additionally, the game is 70 GB in size, which for reference is about 3x the size of most of the larger 1st party Switch games. Make sure you've got the space, particularly if you haven't yet picked up one of the pricey SD cards the Switch 2 requires for extra storage.

This is basically a scam - a non refundable, non returnable code inside a box. No returns, no resale. This is a digital copy posing as a physical game. Walmart didn't permit a return , so I will shop somewhere else with a more fair return policy for games in the future.

The order was cancelled with no explanation. I received a refund but I had already missed out on the Black Friday sale where I could've gotten it for cheap at other retailers. I also noticed it was still available in person at my nearby Walmart so I guess the company just didn't want to pay for the shipping to me?

I ordered a "physical copy" and waited a week - delivery was late - for a code in a box. Dumb. If I wanted a download version, I would have gotten it from Nintendo. I'm trying to buy physical copies to save space on my switch 2. Very misleading.
