Credit to @konnichiwa for bringing this to my attention: This thread couldn’t have been timed any better lol. This is a pretty major shift… my guess is that Nintendo isn’t liking software sales figures at the $70/80USD price tag, so they’re giving a swing at $60/70USD digital.

I say that’s a good call. Giving consumers the option to purchase games such as DKBananza and Kirby Air Riders at $60USD moving forward would be a big win for consumers IMO.

I actually think that will accelerate Nintendo going full digital, so that's actually really bad news to me.

More people will go digital and Nintendo will get a bigger cut, so will have less incentive to offer the physical version instead, they are likely salivating over Pokopia being a success with no actual game needed to be loaded on an "expensive" cart.

I hope the NS2 can still have a good selection of games readily available physically as I already bought it, but I'll likely completely avoid the next system if it progress how I fear it'll.
