I buy physical games when I can because I like to have the ability to share, trade or sell them. It’s also worth noting that some physical games have actually appreciated significantly in price. Finally, I worry that the manufacturers may stop supporting their consoles at some point in the future. I already own original consoles and games that are decades old so it’s not an idle worry.

The enjoyment of collecting games to me is being able to hold it in your hands, appreciate the artwork on the case, cartridge/disc, and manual (if there even is one). I only buy a game digitally if it's one that I want really badly and the physical is too expensive. Or if a sale for the digital version is just too good to pass up. But having mostly digital games just doesn't feel genuine to me. I have a huge digital backlog on my ps4, and I just keep forgetting I have them because they're not there on my shelf.

There are FAR MORE pros than cons with owning physical games. After you buy them, they are yours, you own them and nobody can take them away from you. Eventually they become collectors items and you can make good money from it down the road. Also, you have a game to sell, trade, or let friends borrow a game if you want. NONE of this is possible with digital games. DON'T let ANYBODY convince you that digital games are worth their money. They cost more, aren't as accessible, no resale, collecting or trade value, and if you get a new system, it is a giant headache transferring digital games to the new system. Another downside to wasting money on digital games (as if there weren't enough issues already) is that the more Nintendo sell, the more comfortable they will become with ONLY SELLING DIGITAL GAMES in the future. Don't doubt for a single second they will do this....we are talking about Nintendo.

No digital only good for nintendo they can sell you the same game without spending any money making so more profit for them the game actually costs more that way if you think about it like them sending you a picture of food but charging you the same price as the food the picture is made of. With the 3ds shop shutdown stopping you downloading games you paid for and digital not being cheaper the only reason to go digital is if you cannot find the game or live in the middle of no where but even then you could have the games delivered to you. most game shops allow you to trade in old games so you can get new games cheaper doing that and some old games might go up in value later as well like what is happening now that 3ds shop is closing.

If the digital eshop is cheaper than the shops you go into to buy games then they are charging you more than the recommended retail price nintendo gives them because the eshop is supposed to be the same price as retail and if you go to shops that do not focus on games like big retail stores you can get them cheaper than larger game stores since they normally decrease their price below the recommended retail price to sell lower than other stores.

Well that’s a lie. It may not effect anyone currently but in 10 to 20 years we’ll likely lose access to at least a few games. Digital is basically a rental. I myself have bought many digital but franchises I really care about I buy physical. As long as we’re still given the option to buy whatever we want then I’m fine with that. But to switch over to digital completely is going to outrage many. Even more so when more and more people realize the negatives of owning digital in the long term. Sony and Microsoft have also had games delisted and you CAN’T install them anymore. Unless developers give full rights to the customer then I’ll maybe be all for digital only. But I love my Pokémon physical cases so I’d rather not trade that in for digital.

@@DarkestVoid well if you ‘buy’ games digitally, they will be stored in your micro sd card so will remain with u as long as your sd card is safe with you. Or you have stored it on your 32 gig system. Even when games are discontinued. Same with xbox and Playstation. Unless you are getting games for rental from services like gamepass or ps plus. Where games are essentially rentals.

A couple of weeks ago I received a Switch as a 40th birthday gift alongside a copy of Breath of the Wild. I immediately started looking up the prices of games and what I've seen so far is that flagship titles never go on sale on the online shop (Zelda, Mario Kart etc.) but right away I managed to get deals between 50 to 90% off on the online store for a number of highly rated games (Bastion, Civilisation, X-COM etc). So I intend to go with second hand copies for titles that doesn't get discounted online and wait for the others. I actually always wait a couple of years before getting into a new console for a bug free and much more budget friendly experience. Since a quite a while, I stopped caring about owning an object but rather focus on enjoying the experience for the most part even though I can relate to a collector's mindset. Still, I got a 512GB card for something like 60$ and if in 5+ years I end up wishing to play something which I can no longer access in an online store, I'm pretty sure there will be an "emulator" that I can get my hands on by then...

Maybe we need a change; demand that if we buy something on a digital storefront, and that store is still running, then we should be able to set a price and sell a copy. Two problems though: - No more offline play since they no longer knows you own it. Xbox One was going to offer the option to sell your digital copies and therefore required internet checks. They don't allow that now, and therefore allows offline play. - There's no drawback at all buying a "used" digital copy, and it would be way easier buying a second hand digital copy then a second hand physical copy too. Plus publishers don't want you buying from another person, and rather sell you a new copy. At least the hassle of selling physical copies ensure they can at least sell more for now.

If the digital eshop is cheaper than the shops you go into to buy games then they are charging you more than the recommended retail price nintendo gives them because the eshop is supposed to be the same price as retail and if you go to shops that do not focus on games like big retail stores you can get them cheaper than larger game stores since they normally decrease their price below the recommended retail price to sell lower than other stores.

I'm a vagabond. Simply put. I move around so much in life that I would never be able to take my game collection with me. Basically I know nothing last forever and one day I will no longer be able to access my digital collection of switch games, and I've made peace with that. At-least by that point I'll have been able to enjoy them for at-least 7-10 years. I'm also looking at the steamdeck as a great place to build a digital collection, a I believe if any online platform has the potential of being around 40 - 50 years from now, it'll be steam, and maybe still be able to access some if not most of the games I have stored there, and that'll be pretty awesome. For people that will be in one place for most of their lives and are able to bring their collections with them they good for them, otherwise it's just not that important to me. I love gaming, and there are many classic and current titles I know I'll want to play again years from now (like Super Mario Galaxy which I absolutely love and own on switch), but trying to hold on to these collections eventually becomes unruly. You can't take it when you die, and when you die someone will either sell off your collection for bank, or pennies, throw it away, or maybe it even gets tossed in a closet or attic somewhere, where the collection collects dust for the next 20 - 30 years before being later discovered and then either sold or junked. Simply put you can't take it with you.

This is why I only do physical copies for consoles because they don't care about consumers at all!

You don’t own the game

There is actually one huge benefit to physical copies. Have a home switch? Boom. No wifi requirement to start games. I've ran into more annoyances with having a home switch than I would have ever imagined. Especially having a son who also has a switch.

Well….I have a switch for my kids. Everyone with kids should know what that means and the frustration of looking for an itty bitty cart for half the day that I shelled out $60 dollars for. So I try to go digital as much as possible where my kids are concerned. For me personally, if I really love the game and want to support the dev as much as possible…..I’ll buy the collectors edition when it comes out and the same game digital when it goes on sale.

I love getting games digitally because i don't have to leave the house. Pay for it at home, take a shower and by the time I'm out it's ready to play.

I'm not much of a collector and I really enjoy being able to play anything anywhere since I mostly play on the go. Got a 400gb sd for that and it's great

The production costs are so much less for digital and the cost for consumers should reflect that! The same with audiobooks, darn it. 😅

When the Switch was first released, I really wanted all of my games to be physical [excluding digital-download-only titles], but, due to me being A) not rich and B) living a 40-minute busride away from the closest store, that doesn't have a big selection, I ended up buying the games I really wanted from the eShop when they would go on sale for ridiculously good prices (like 60% off retail and up.) I bought a couple cheap ones from eBay as well from JP and EU regions as well, but that was more-so for collecting (and for Brain Age, which isn't availible in NA.) Fast-forward 3 years later, and only a small handful of my collection is on two microSD cards. I mean, sure, I saved a couple shelves of space from skipping out on the physicals, but my collector's heart cries a little sometimes. I have no grand display to show off, no beautiful arrangement of box arts and red-and-white borders lined up in a row. I mean, imagine what the Nintendo Switch corner of my hypothetical game room would look like--two framed microSD cards hanging on the wall. Fantastic. Nobody wants to see that. But, at least I have the games, can enjoy them as much as I want, and all without hurting my bank account too much. It makes moving easier, too--I just have to be extra careful not to loose the little guys. And, I've really, really enjoyed not having to swap cartridges myself, or carry around cases and cases of cartridges in my bag when I'm on the go, and want my whole collection with me. It's the first time I've ever really experienced the beauty of it before, as the majority of my video game collection has always been physical, up until the Switch. I enjoy it so much, that sometimes I find myself not even wanting to get up to grab a game or to change a cartridge anymore. It suddenly feels like a hassle. I've never felt so lazy. PS--This video was helpful, because I was always skeptical of the brand of SD cards I've been buying, due to some horror stories I've heard of in the past of USB sticks randomly being wiped clean if not used for a while. It's a relief to know that SanDisk and Kingston are both fine options. It's also a relief to know that the save data is stored directly on the Switch. I never knew this, and I've been afraid to swap games from one microSD to the next, so thanks, I appreciate it a lot! Subscribed!

I tried the “drag and drop” method in the past when I bought a new card but it didn’t work. I had to download everything again.

Ditto. The saves transferred, but I had to re-install my games.

You have to put the new sd card on your switch for formatting before copying the games.

What @@brewster09 said. I found I'd have to select re-download for each individual game for it to locate the game files - usually a quick enough process unless you accidentally queue up a game that you don't currently have installed

There's a chance the formatting doesn't meet Switch requirements, like others have said. There's a SD FORMATTER you can download from sdcard(dot)org

The Switch is the ONLY console I have that I’m ALL PHYSICAL. I love the tiny cartridges and the fact that I own a physical thing. The boxes are very cool looking too on the shelf.

Your last point, that some games are only released digitally, is why I decided to keep my entire library digital. As far as money is concerned, yes, it's more expensive, but all of us gamers know that games are an investment. They were designed to be, and always will be. You can't get something for nothing, usually. It hurts me sometimes, but whenever a game comes out that I really want, I just get it. No debating whether or not I need it...I just do it. And while I thought I would regret spending the money buying full price, I also knew that Nintendo isn't going to drop the price, and if I didn't get it, I would just end up missing out on an experience I wanted to have. You could say that makes me a sucker for coughing up 60 bucks every time, but didn't we buy a Switch to PLAY GAMES? And play the games WE WANT TO PLAY? My main fear is not having a physical way to back up all my digital games, like you did, but doing something like resetting my Switch because of an error YEARS from now, once the E-Shop is closed, and then ALL MY BACKUPS won't launch because it won't recognize the licensing and that I own the game. That would...pretty much suck. I assume the game is tied to my hardcoded serial number of my Switch or something. There's also the problem I couldn't play on the other Switch I have. Do you think these are realistic fears? We also know that SD cards have a limited lifespan. I'd love it if you could maybe answer this in one of your videos or something.
