After having a ridiculous war with some narrowminded tools over at Wikipedia regarding the addition of some kind of indicator on the List of Switch Games page, that would highlight games that are available at retail and not just digital only (a war which I finally relented on, because these guys flat-out refused to see why something like this might be useful), I happened to discover a thread over in the nintendolife.com forums that was attempting to maintain this exact type of list.
...and then I thought hell, maybe I should start up a similar one right here at my favorite website! There's NO WAY a bunch of gamers that are interested in sales charts and such, wouldn't be at least remotely interested in potentially collecting physical versions of a game over a digital version. There's no possible way I'm the only one who has a preference for a physical cartridge that I can touch and own forever, rather than some downloadable game that's "sort of" mine (at least until Nintendo says, they're retiring this particular server forever).
So, here we go! I'll update this post as things change and new releases are announced (as often as I can), and perhaps I'll add boxarts too. For now, it's just the list of games (NA Releases - only, for now) with their release dates. It will NOT be perfect (as far as future releases), but I will do what I can to keep it as accurate as possible. If there's little to no interest, well then I'll just let the thread fall off and out of existance... :(
