Switch seems like the perfect opportunity to go all digital with a fast 128GB or even 256GB micro SD card.
Or would you rather stay physical?

Physical Pros:
- Nintendo games retain their value really well and some even get worth more over time.
- Patches and save games stored on the game card keeps everything neatly together (but that might be different on the Switch)
- Don't forget sharing with family / trading with friends.
Cons:
- Perhaps more expensive, retail markup for the card.
- Carrying a bunch of cards with you on the move.

Digital Pros:
- No fuss taking the Switch with you, no card swapping.
- Perhaps cheaper to buy digitally (it should be without the cost of the storage medium)
- Perhaps no need to buy 2 copies for co-op (if it works like ps4, 1 primary system, other with account signed in)
Digital cons:
- No trading.
- Has no value once bought, unless you sell your account.
- Large micro SD cards are still expensive, how big will games get on the Switch and will you need twice the room to download the game and patches?

I just went back to GTA5, first thing I had to was download a 13.6GB patch, which requires 27.2 GB free hdd space. A patch bigger than Zelda... The 40GB ps3 had trouble downloading the digital version of GTA5 because of that double space requirement. How much overhead will downloads take on the Switch?

For smaller games it seems obvious. But I would like to know more about the digital policies for the Switch and pricing. Plus the sizes of the game cards. Just Dance 2017 is 19.2GB on the ps4, then there's tons of DLC.  Is that getting a 32GB card?

I think I'll stick to physical for Nintendo games unless there is a big price difference. 3rd party and indies, more likely to buy digital. (more likely to buy multiplats on ps4 anyway)

I largely stick to physical when it comes to consoles unless Digital has a sale where the prices are considerable less than physical.

Why would anyone not favor physical here? It's superior in just about every way that I can think of.

I always go physical because I like having a proper collection.

Nothing else really comes into it honestly

I would go physical. Especially the free games they would offer in the online subscription would go to my SD card.

Always physical for all games that gets a physical release.

Physical all the way.

And maybe digitally for games I'm not too sure about. Because if it sucks then you dont want that shown in your collection lol

I'm doing mostly physical.

I'll do digital for games that aren't really AAA, or digital exclusives.

I do a nice mix of both. I get mostly physical. If its something i may play a little each day i will get it digital so i dont have to switch cards as often

I've been slowly going towards digital in just about every facet of my gaming life. But with this, the general lack of internal storage kind of puts a damper on that. If I can get a decent case that fits enough games, it shouldn't be tough to carry them around. I'll start with physical, and see how it goes.
