Under 20$, I can see why people may pick digital. But buying a full price new release title digitally? That shit dont make sense.

I mean, I already beat the game before, and I wanted the art book with the CE.

So /shrug

Still haven't beat Xenoblade Chronicles 2 yet either, so no rush to get it.

[Tech614]

The only digital switch games I own are Smash and AC because I play them too often and I'm too lazy to swap carts that often. Xenoblade won't change this.

I can understand if you're getting the collectors edition but otherwise, I can't see why you wouldn't go digital unless you just have a small memory card.

Why would I go digital for a SP game that has 0 value once I finish it when the physical version will maintain value for eternity as 99% of Nintendo published games do.

Some people like to actually own stuff, not throw their money into a disappearing ether.

Only thing you're losing out on is resale value with games published by Nintendo never seeing price cuts, and not everyone puts games they buy up on ebay after they've completed them.

Securing long term access by going physical cause Nintendo might shut down servers is just people being paranoid. There are already emulators for Switch that are at a stage of booting up games, Switch games will remain accessible and playable long after Nintendo shutters things like they did the wii shop channel.

Switch can also get broken or your digital account gets stolen = bye bye all games.
Companys get hacked all the time.

Digital switch games are not tied to individual hardware beyond storage of saves, but accounts. Nintendo's system of setting a new main switch is still awkward if you don't have the original, but the games are not locked down like they used to be.

As for account hacked, don't be stupid and use 2FA.

That's not even mentioning that it's a fairly common trend for games to only have part of their data on the cartridge cause companies don't want to spend on 32gb ones, meaning the eshop is needed anyway to actually play it on the switch itself, and not via emulation.

Why would you want a digital artbook, eww.

[zealo]

Why would you want a digital artbook, eww.

Unless you specifically want it for the sake of collecting it, perusing what the art in it looks like has no functional difference between that and a scanned in PDF.

If I wanted it. I'm just saying I don't have to pay for it
