i buy physical because i genuinely think nintendo is one of the last good game devs remaining. but switch 2 is just download cards. i will not be purchasing it.
have you seen any of their pokemon releases the past years? its actually embarassing how bad the games are in terms of quality and polish, for a game that is the biggest IP in the world.
Not in 10+ years when you can’t download the rest of the game from the servers because they don’t put the whole game on the cartridge anymore. Not to mention patches and DLC aren’t on the cartridge either.
AFAIK, most PS3 (and even PS4) / Xbox 360 games will play and function with just the disc, an internet connection will just let them download updates to the game.
It was PS5 and Xbox One where the discs became glorified physical download codes, and did not actually contain the entire game.
that’s why i dont buy digital games on nintendo. one day the service ends and it’s gone forever.
That’s why I only buy games on GOG. After purchase I archive the installer, and it’s mine forever. On console you are really fucked.
I’m not buying Nintendo at all, so many shitty policies from that camp

“one of the last good game devs” brother there has been so much drama with nintendo being a god awful company the past year ALONE.
But just judging by quality of games they are still the best

Nintendo has not developed those. Blame gamefreak.
Check out the new pokemon snap which isn’t that dev. It is legit a 9/10 game. I play it a ton.
Their games are genuinely fun though, and they work offline

you can say that about a lot of games and their devs. tons of great indie games out there.
Can’t argue with that!
It’s already happening on other platforms. Doom dark ages only has something like 28 megabytes on the disc.
I’m not even aware of any ps3/xbox360 games that are fully contained on discord. Maybe Orange Box?

i think that’s a myth, switch 2 will have real games.
