Yes, you want to use Switch that wasn't officially represented in the country until now as evidence that digital is cheaper than physical... WiiU while still being supported had digital equal or more expensive.

In the early days of my Wii U, I was stuck with Wind Waker HD for several months as I didn't have enough money to buy another game. When I finally got that money (R$200), I was torn between using it to buy Super Mario 3D World or Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, physical of course. After thinking about it for a while, I was leaning on the side of DKC, and then one day decided to check the eShop just to see some screens from each game or whatever. It was then that I switched to mostly digital gaming, because for just R$250, I could actually buy both games, which is what I did after saving up a little more. Buying both physically would cost about R$400 at the time.

Either way, the Switch might not have physical games being sold officially in Brazil, but it's had a Brazilian eShop for a while now and I'd be willing to bet real money that no Nintendo game will be sold at a cheaper official price for physical copies than the digital price.

Good luck on that. The cheaper they launch the better for you.
