Game-Key Cards have been divisive since they were first introduced, but the good news is that the full R-Type Dimensions 3 game will be on the Switch 2 cartridge. The bad news? You’re going to have to pay a little bit extra for that side-scrolling shoot-’em-up, as the price is going up to €70.
It’s worth noting that those who already preordered the physical Special Edition will not see their price change.
Publisher Inin Games had previously explained that switching the entire run to standard cartridges would have resulted in manufacturing costs increasing by “at least” €15 per game copy, which is why it chose the Game-Key Card option. Inin Games pledged to look for a way to release the full game on a Switch cartridge, leading to today’s news about the costs increasing, but not as much as it anticipated.
