Nintendo Didn't Win the Console War. It Might Win the Physical Game War

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

    Oh interesting! So there must have been different bundles because my Wii U Mario Kart bundle came with a physical copy of the game and a special red Mario controller + plastic wheel.

    But looking online I do see the digital only bundle existed.

    My Switch 1 didn’t come with anything bundled and I brought a physical copy of Breath of the Wild.

    But when I bought my Switch 2 I saw Mario Kart was digital and Legends ZA was digital, so I assumed this was a new change over starting with this generation.

      It’s probably a regional difference. There might not have been an official Nintendo Eshop in your region, so you had physical editions bundled, now that there is, the bundle is digital

        I’m in the US, so they definitely have an Eshop and always have.

        I’m sure it’s just different bundles over the lifetime of the system.

      There’s been a LOT of bundles. Either way, we both learned something today. I’d call that a win.
