Shin'en interview confirled it's all new tracks. Will be oicking the new FAST up sale day as the Switch2 then. Gameshare, where only one copy of the game is required, works over the internet too. That'll need to be a pretty fast connection though! Badum-tsss...

They have a similar function on Wolfenstein youngblood on switch.
You can buy a version where you can play with a friend who doesn't own the game. I assume you send them a code, they download a bit of the game or a whole game, but they can only play online with you?
Played a bit of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Very beautiful looking game, engaging gameplay, and an interesting premise.
I just came across that game yesterday. Looked interesting, but I couldn't. Quite figure out what it was about. Please continue to share impressions as you play. Thank you in advance for your compliance.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 continues to be excellent. Visually gorgeous and has great music and sound design. Well written and well voice acted. Combat is really fun and keeps you engaged. Parry timing can be a bit snug but well worth it and quite satisfying when you get those counter attacks. Easier to dodge but you don’t get those powerful counter attacks that you get from parrying. Good to use though to learn enemy attack timings. It’s never frustrating though because the save system is extremely generous. It saves after every fight and picking up items so whenever you die ton enemy you can get right back to fighting them again. It’s a bit like the Souls games in that enemies are specifically placed and only reappear when you rest at a flag. Flags are for leveling up, acquiring skills, assigning Pictos, which are basically “perks”.
So far this game looks to be a very strong contender for GotY.
Not a fan of the Switch2's 'digital key cards'. The biggest advantage of digital is that you don't have to muck about, store and swap in and out physical media. I don't care if it means I can sell the game later. If I want to put up with physical media it's because it's fir a game that I feel more attached to, and I want the damn thing to be stored physically.
These key cards just seem to combine the worst of both worlds and are in no way a form of physical media.
I’m indifferent to the game-key cards myself. On the one hand you can sell, trade, borrow them so it’s better then just straight up digital. On the other hand though you do have to carry the cards around and put them in to verify ownership.
What's even more confusing is that code in a box still exists. Split Fiction does this.
And games that are game key cards in Japan are actually physical carts in the west.

I'm starting to think the real answer is for game key cards boxes is to include a small cheap micro sd card in there instead.
Then you can download the game to the micro sd and leave it in the box for the future. But the cost of sd express cards would be too expensive. And the card would be ties to your system.
We've also heard this weird rumour that the game cart sizes Nintendo is offering to 3rd parties is the minimum lowest capacity cards, or the most expensive 64gb cards.
With nothing in between. I dont know how or why this would be a good idea or if its even true.
Maybe whichever company is producing the carts isn't given decent fair terms on these things?
The other thing is that most modern 3rd party games are well above the max 64gb cart size so wouldn't even be able to hold the full game.
So what's the solution? Have 2 carts in the physical box?
Oh I will do that, but not waiting for hours.
I hope Nintendo adds some Switch 2 games as a part of the voucher program. I would love to preorder Donkey Kong and Metroid.

Might get it anyway just to see how it looks.

How long ago was Clair Obscur announced? I swear I read an interview about a game with exactly the same premise at least five years ago...maybe more.
