I have a Switch 2 and I'm about to purchase MP4 & the physical versions are currently much cheaper than digital.

Switch 1 physical : £31.61 / Switch 2 physical : £44.99 (Amazon)
Switch 1 digital: £49.99 / Switch 2 digital : £58.99

The Switch 1 physical + S2 edition download patch seems like the best value at £39.63.

The only downside that occurs to me is that maybe a Switch 3 will be backwards compatible with S2 cartridges but not S1...

Are there any other downsides to going this route over the others that I'm not considering?
