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

      It’s a special case, but the Switch 2 Mario Kart launch bundle came preloaded with Mario Kart World digital. All previous versions of Nintendo consoles with a bundle came with physical media.

      But you could absolutely purchase a non bundle Switch 2 and a physical Mario Kart World (for $20 more).

      And you’re right that so far every first party game has had both a physical release and a digital release.

        Not true. If anything I’m trying to remember the last one that came with the physical game. The MK8 Wii U bundle was digital. As were the ALBW 3DS bundles. There’s probably a few though, between the 2/3DS and Switch there have been quite a few collectors’ editions. Some with game, some without.
