Damn that’s lame 😒
Disappointing indeed.
Why is this even a thing.
If I can't have a physical disk just let me buy it online why would I need a case for a disk when no disk
For gifting i suspect, can’t think of any other reason. So annoying. Its 45gb 😔
lmao. what the hell.
The original 3+4 couldn't have been more than 2 gb. My favorite game growing up
Return that lol.
Just disrespectful
Wait until he finds out about game key cards...
Physical games especially cartridges were and still are the best. Sad to see a case that just has a code to a game.
It gets better. Game key cards are literally the box with what looks like a cartridge... but the "cartridge" doesnt actually contain any game data. It only contains a link for your switch to download from the eshop.
wtf
Yep I look closely at any Switch 2 game now to see if it’s a “Key card” game or not. If it is a key card I won’t buy it. F them.
Actually it’s a protection scheme / scam. Publishers have the option to have Nintendo force you to download the game rather than include it on the chip since people have learned how to “rip” game cards now and put the images online. My problem is that if I get the exact same game off of steam I can make a backup of it and I don’t have to deal with this bullshit.. on the switch 2 I have to make sure I have enough storage and I have to buy expensive memory cards in order to download the game..
Tony Hawks! #classic !!! 💥💯
never ever give nintendo any money
These days I would be 💯 % inclined to agree. Physical media matters. Or at least being able to back up your shit.
He can’t. He’s already broken the seal on it. Unless Canada has different trade laws from the US with respect to merchandise returns..
I saw that too in the store. I prefer physical cartridges as well, but I checked the Nintendo store and the game was half off (until dec 31) so I made an exception and got the digital download. It’s a fun game, was worth it.
I paid full price for a collectible Blu Ray movie only to discover my PS5 has the wrong region code. Tried for 3 hours to get it to work and gave up.
You’re a child molester. Kill yourself.
You’re a sick pedophile. Kill yourself.
Kill yourself, pedo

They will sodomize you till you cry, pedoo
That‘s messed up. They should at least throw in a poster with Tony.
just shows that game cartridges are a cripple nowadays and this will make "collectors" transition over to digital as well. retail distribution used to make 2/3 of a games price, is what we once learned at the university. pair that with everyone who can afford a 20+ USD game, probably also has internet at home, mandatory day 1 patches, unfinished games that are the norm and all of a sudden, this cripple of a product makes sense again. it's basically somewhat of an ad-banner now, containing access to the product, while still being creating visibility in stores.
