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

    Depends if you count Pokopia. But Pokemon is in that weird “sort of a Nintendo IP, sort of not” state.

    Nintendo was not the publisher of Pokopia in Japan, and Gamefreak is an indie developer. But Nintendo did publish Pokopia worldwide and still chose not to put the game on cart, so not sure where the decision for that rests.

      @chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world said “before the Switch 2 release”. And while I don’t like Game Key Cards, they are just barely above code-in-box because you can still trade/resell them.

      To my understanding, some games just don’t work with SD cards because they need the faster loading off of the SSD. Also games over 64gb don’t fit on the cards.
