"I don't recall anybody literally throwing up in the office, we were lucky"
The Arctis Nova family of headsets expands today with the introduction of the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 series and Nova 5 Companion App.
In an era dominated by digital downloads and streaming services, the importance of physical media in gaming remains a topic of discussion.
Of course, Nintendo has always preferred physical sales, especially since they skew to a younger audience, and kids want games for their birthdays and holidays. They go to the store and pick the game they want.
Since the Wii they have always been the last major publisher to support modern tech or concepts, and they will be the last to support physical if it ever goes away. Which I hope it doesn't.
Nintendo just likes sales in general. If they can sell digital more, they would because the 2nd hand market they do not get a cut of. For me, i tend to buy more physical switch games than I do other platforms. I do have my fair share of digital deals from the eshop though. Especially if its something that i have a sealed physical copy of and dont want to reduce its value.
OK, but you need better format where these games could actually fit instead of half of the game being in physical form and all I have being on a digital code or have to download
The one caveat with cartridges. If the leaks are true the internal storage stands at 256gb plus SD card support too.
You could have a 256gb card and a 10gb card. Publishers will simply use the 10gb one and make you download the rest.
There are cards that can fit all of a game but those cost more, and publishers are cheap. It's weird cause with how much the switch has sold and how long it's been on the market the costs to manufacture these cards should've been much lower by now. It's a publisher issue cause there has only been very few exceptions on PS and Xbox, rest of the industry would rather force a download despite Blu-ray being cheap.
Your right. It's definitely a publisher issue. From my time collecting that's what I've come across. Just always remember

Tell you everything you need to know about releases.
Pretty sure most, if not all, of Nintendo first party titles are all on cartridge. It’s the third parties.
Yeah it artificially retains the high prices for their software. Hence Pirates will always have their day with them.
Ghosts of Tabor creators Combat Waffle Studios have collaborated with GLYTCH on a new "Skill Issue" flavour. Plus PICO is now supported.
I suggest reading the whole article that was written by Benji Edwards. A really cool write up and thanks Nintendolife for pointing me in that direction. I was born in 1992 so I missed all the stuff about VR and the VB around that time.
