Cartridge is alive and well in the Nintendo ecosystem.
A lot of Switch cartridges now only have license keys.
Well at least Nintendo themselves still releases full game cartridges and it's not like you buy a Switch for third party games anyway. Nintendo only introduced the Gamekey card because third party publishers, especially Acti and Ubi, were releasing their own version on Switch 1 and not using consistent packaging labels to tell a gamekey from a full game cartridge apart so probably confused many consumers. Hence why Nintendo created an official version.
Many are just Game Key Cards.
Which are like Carts, but they need to download digitally. The worst of both worlds :D
Nintendo has its own slew of ethical issues.
Alive, but well?
