Since you were basically forced to get Mario Kart as digital, I was wondering if this was the generation I would just accept the inevitability of physical dying, but I realized that I still intend to get Bananza physically. So I guess with keys being a thing I'll just be getting Nitnendo's own stuff physically?

Reminder that if you buy digitally (console and PC) you don't own anything and you will be happy.

>>715520370
You own every game on pc because you can just remove the drm

>>715520467
you don't buy games on GOG, don't you?

>>715519848 (OP)
Physical, always. The only time this is acceptable is if there isn't a physical.

If you're autistic you go digital and store it on the internal memory of the switch 2, the load times vs Internal Memory, SD Express and Cartridge are vastly different, with Internal Memory being king and Cartridge being the worst. Donkey Kong Bananza looks like it's going to be intensive on the switch so best to have it on the internal memory.

Physical media is still a revokable license
Even GOG purchases are revokable
>Buy I saved my installer on 3 external drives
Not the point

>>715520897
ah yes, good point, I think I may go digital since I don't feel like going to the shop anyway, and I could start downloading it tomorrow

>>715520356
I dont like changing cartridges, but I want at least one switch2 game on cartridge...
maybe I'll just get digital and buy a cartidge when it's on clearance

>>715521002
Don't worry I'm not stupid, anon. I know every piece of software purchased is a license. Being able to play a game offline and when taken down from the store, because you have it physically, is still objectively more ownership than digitally.

Never digital

>>715521207
>play offline
I can play mario kart offline, whats the big deal?

>taken off the store
won't happen with DK

Digital for load times

>>715520370
How do you mean?
>copy game folder to an external drive
>plug the external drive to a different PC altogether
>game works off the bat by running the .exe
Just how fucking tech illiterate are y-
oh wait, you game on a console. I expected too much from you

>>715522230
post an image of your drive with the terabytes of backups right now anon

>>715522406
I have a hard drive with thousands of porn games, emulator games etc. but all of my SATA cables are in use by faster SSD's. I am not opening my case, unplugging one of the drives, plugging in the porn drive just to take a picture for you, and put everything back.
Take a flash game folder from my desktop instead, there's a folder somewhere amongst the drives with more flash stuff

>>715523193
Alright fine. Kudos to you anon

I purchased a digital copy of tropical freeze on my wiiu. How can I redownload it to my console since I removed it to free up space?

Physical obviously. I already took the L getting Mario Kart digitally

I got it physical.

Just download it? They only removed the ability to purchase games, you can still download things you already bought.

>>715523716
You can still redownload Wii games you purchased. It helps actually being informed of what you're talking about so you don't make yourself look like a retard

>>715523716
>wiiu
nintendo didn't know how to do things properly back then

>>715523938
Phew, theres still time
What about my dkc2 virtual console purchase on the wii?

>>715519848 (OP)
It's worth it physical. Not a goy card and it's the standard $70, you will also probably play it more than Mario kart. At least I can only play for a few hours of Mario kart and not touch it again for months.

>>715519848 (OP)
I bought both, will keep the physical one sealed and play the digital one (yes I am a consoomer, no need to remind me)

I love collecting physical games and it feels great when it finally builds up

>>715524468
Yeah, okay. Thats pretty based
I didnt expect that I could actually redownload a console purchase I made 18 years ago through official channels

Physical means I can sell all my old games once CFW drops.

Physical for supporting and owning.
Digital for pirating and owning. Except for GOG, where I buy digital

>>715519848 (OP)
In Europe digital Switch 2 games cost 10 bucks less (MSRP for Bananza is 70€ digital and 80€ physical), that's something to keep in mind if you can't find a good deal on a physical copy.

I got it physical from Argos with a promotion. Cheaper than digital.

>>715526505
mario kart world is already 70€ in several stores.

>>715526505
The game is 60€ in France

>>715519848 (OP)
I only buy digital games since 2016 so for me, it's digital.

>you don't own anything
I won't live forever so fucking whatever

>>715526586
they're selling eshop cards for 10% off
so I think it's cheaper if I do eshop!
