And you consider it a must own as someone who has had it on the Wii-U before, imagine people like myself who were tempted by the game but not enough to buy into the Wii-U, it's going to be a whole new experience complete with all that DLC, Link in a MK game, I can't wait for this Friday to come around.

Suffering the same issue as I had with Lego City undercover though, although slightly less so, the game at retail ranging from 50-55e but on the Store it's 59.99 Honestly though, I think I'll get it digitally just so I can have both it and Zelda on the switch without swapping carts around.

Lego City was way worse here though, you can get the Physical copy of the game for €45 but the Digital version (which is the one I want) costs €59.99 paying €15 more for the convience of having the game on my SD card when it goes directly to Nintendo and has far less overhead makes zero sense to me, I can't understand it.

I always prefer physical to digital. Definitely one reason everyone is trying to phase physical out is that it would allow them to control the price and would transfer a lot of the money lost to the sales of used games right back to them.

In handhelds I much rather Digital because of wanting to have all the software in the unit without having to change carts while on the go or risk losing any of them if I'm outside.

I love Physical for my home systems, got shelves of games all over the place here as a testament to that, but say on the Vita I have over 200 titles which are digital just because of how easy it was to download them from psn in comparison to find a store which stocked new Vita titles here in Ireland. But on the Switch I mean... if there was any sort of partity between the cost Digitally and Physically I would get it Digitally how I want it and Nintendo could happily not have to worry about pre owned software, but €15 is too big a gap imo for what should be a cheaper option buying it from the Eshop

In case I'm not clear

Physical copy costs 45

Digital is 60

No way that should be the case when you compare, manufacturing costs, transport, storage, sales staff in game shop, all of that is cut out with the Digital version, but it's still that much more expensive. How is that justified?
