The surprisingly affordable price of $39.99 reflects the fact that this is not a traditional physical copy. Instead, you'll receive a "game-key card," which we'll discuss in more detail below.

Note: This is a Game-Key Card

Some games for the Nintendo Switch 2 come in full data cartridges, while others, like Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster, use a game-key card system. These cards resemble Switch 2 cartridges but do not contain the game data. To play, you'll need to insert the card into your console and download the 11GB game from the eShop. However, you can still share or sell the game via the physical card, with the requirement of using the card to access the game.

What is Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster?

Play

Originally launched on the 3DS, Bravely Default brought a nostalgic feel with its turn-based combat and a narrative centered around a group of heroes on a mission to retrieve four crystals. The game's unique selling point is its innovative combat system, allowing players to store turns and execute multiple actions simultaneously. Additionally, the deep job system lets you customize each party member's abilities.

The HD remaster retains these core elements and adds several new features. Players can now fast forward through battles and cut scenes, adjust encounter rates to suit their play style, enjoy an online mode, and engage in new minigames.
