Will Pokopia be on a regular cartidge?

Question

I don’t want to buy a game-key card, and I want a physical copy. Has it been confirmed there will be only the game key card?

Answer 1

Pokopia will only be available digitally or via Game-Key Card. We're still a ways out from release date, so this might change, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

This information can be found on Pokopia's Japanese website, which lists suggested retail prices for digital and Game-Key Card versions — the physical cartridge version is conspicuously absent.

Just because the Japanese site has only Key-Card and digital downloads for the Japanese market, does that mean that it’s 100% guaranteed other countries won’t get the physical edition?

If Nintendo UK is using Pokopia as an example of a Game-Key Card, I think it's safe to say it won't be getting a proper physical release.
