Buying Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 games in French seems straightforward… until you discover that a box doesn’t always contain a cartridge, that a Switch title isn’t necessarily compatible with the Switch 2, or that French is sometimes limited to subtitles alone. For families, collectors and regular players alike, a few simple checks are all it takes to avoid unpleasant surprises.
A box can contain a cartridge, but it can also contain just a code to redeem on the Nintendo eShop. This is particularly the case with Assassin’s Creed III + Assassin’s Creed Liberation Remastered, whose Switch edition includes download codes rather than a game card.
This difference matters:
To build a library of physical Switch games, always check for the mention “game card included”.
A game designed for the Nintendo Switch 2 must not be confused with a title intended for the original Switch. Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition and Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army are announced for the Switch 2. Conversely, Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Captain Tsubasa 2: World Fighters and Rayman – 30th Anniversary Edition target the Nintendo Switch.
The platform listed must match your console. An almost identical cover isn’t enough: always check the product details, especially for pre-orders or second-hand purchases.
A “French version” can offer French text, French voice acting, or simply a multilingual interface. These three scenarios are far from equivalent. In Rayman – 30th Anniversary Edition, for example, the voices are announced as partially French and English, while subtitles include French.
For a child or a player who wants a fully localised experience, look separately for:
For Nintendo Switch 2 games, check whether it is a native Switch 2 version or a Switch edition that simply benefits from enhancements. A high-density card, reduced loading times or specific graphical options may be mentioned, but nothing beats checking the platform.
Players still using an original Switch should also avoid products that exclusively carry the Switch 2 label.
A physical cartridge generally limits the initial download, but updates or additional content may still be necessary. A digital code, on the other hand, requires a connection and enough free space from the moment of installation.
The case of Fortnite Battle Royale: Darkness Falls & Eternal Winter requires particular attention: it is a download code for additional content, with no cartridge or disc. The base game must be installed separately and an internet connection is essential.
The PEGI rating should guide your purchase, especially for Nintendo Switch games for children. Pokémon Legends: Arceus is rated PEGI 7, while Assassin’s Creed Shadows and Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition are for adults only according to the information provided.

It depends on the title and the version sold. Some Switch games work on Switch 2, while an edition specifically designed for the latter may offer better performance or additional features. Always check the platform listed on the product page.
Not necessarily. A cartridge often allows you to launch the game offline, but updates, additional content and online features generally require an internet connection. In the case of a download code, a connection is essential for activation and installation.
Examine the details for voice acting, text and subtitles separately. If the product page simply mentions “multilingual”, check the language breakdown before ordering. For children, also remember to check the PEGI rating and activate the console’s parental control settings.
