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

    All previous versions of Nintendo consoles with a bundle came with physical media.

    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.

      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.
