Well that didn't take very long. Today, the first batch of Nintendo Switch game ROMs have appeared online, according to a post on GBATemp. Hacking suit Big Blue Box has reportedly ripped six Nintendo Switch games straight from their carts, according to the post from BBB, this was done using a Nintendo Switch console (exactly how I won't pretend to understand). The games ripped so far include:

Nintendo Switch offers many different game formats, and one SD card maker recently compared them. The console’s tiny cartridges may have slower load times than you think. They would need to key the cartridge to the system so that you couldn't just borrow it install the game and then two people be able to play the. Early indications point towards a lot of physical Switch games, even indie games that have often settled for just a download. If someone can cram Skyrim onto that little cartridge, I’ll. You won't have a shelf full of old Switch games that you never play anymore. You also don't have to worry about losing the cartridges. Your little brother can't steal them and take it to a friend's house. Share Nintendo makes buying Switch games much harder. If you buy third-party games on cartridges, and that sucks. Worry about filling up the Switch’s hard drive. You can put them in your. You can talk your way around it any way you want: 'Nintendo doesn't need my $60. I wasn't going to buy it anyway so it doesn't make a difference. I just want to try the games first,' or whatever else.

So you may be asking yourself, 'What does this mean? Are people about to start downloading Nintendo Switch games for free and ruining everything?' The answer is no. Not yet, anyway. But these advances to have a number of consequences, and there are some things that you may want to keep an eye out for. Actually, there are some really near things that could come from this, and some not so neat things that could come from this.
The best case scenario would look something like this. A bunch of really talented people get full access to all of the game files and do some incredible or whatever else. It doesn't matter. The bottom line is that pirating games hurts the company you're stealing from, and it makes things harder for those that want to enjoy the system legitimately.
Nintendo is going to be much slower, and much more cautious in bringing things like a functional web-browser and alternative storage methods to the Switch when it knows that there's a community actively trying to find exploits to allow the downloading and playing of game ROMs.
Something to think about.
For obvious reasons, games downloaded from the eShop are installed on the Nintendo Switch. Even better, games purchased as physical media don't have to be installed to be played. However, rather than carrying cartridges around it'd be nice to install some games.
Can Nintendo Switch games purchased as cartridges be installed to the console?

After going through all of the options on the console, the firm answer is: No.
I highly doubt Nintendo would ever offer the option to install from the Game Cards. They are already way faster than optical discs, so that isn't an argument. Frankly they'd rather make it harder to pirate games by forcing the need of the Game Card than make it easier for individuals with many physical purchases.
