As PlayStation and Xbox move toward a more digital future, Nintendo could become the last major platform where physical games still truly matter.

    First party games are Physical, but most third party are not. Game key cards are not physical for me. I play a few nintendo games, but i play far more games from different publisher, not really one company that has a majority. So this doesn’t really matter much for me. Switch 2 started for me the dead of physical games, not as drastic as sony, but it was the beginning. I read a lot people say nintendo ist the only one left, well maybe kind of, but i really don’t care much about this only one left. I will buy Fire emblem games physical as long as Nintendo support it and ocationally another game, so maybe 1-2 games a year from maybe 15 i buy over a year. So i don’t see much of this home.

      I am fully in digital camp so haven’t checked deeply, but I was under the impression that after the initial outcry from fans, most of the third party publishers switched to proper cartridges. It isn’t like that?

        I don’t know any game, but as far as i monitor it, proper physical games for third party are still the exception
