![Nintendo's NEW STRATEGY for Switch 2 Performance?! [Rumor]](/img/tr.png)
What are your thoughts on this future of video games we're heading to? I'm definitely not a fan but it seems to be a losing battle 😔
Now hold up! We don't even know if this is officially happening yet and my gut tells me that physical media is not going away anytime soon
Nintendo physical is not going away any time soon, as they make a lot more money compared to Sony and Xbox. Sony games get heavily discounted for their physical games, unlike Nintendo.
@@RetroCheats Exactly and finally a real person that knows the truth!
Question: Do you think it's possible digital purchases are skewed? Not every nintendo game has a physical version, especially indie games.
What if those 1st party games sell more physical copies then digital? Also, what about the fact there are some out there who buy the digital because they want it ASAP, and then purchase the physical copy at a later time.
There's a lot more to consider for Nintendo physical sales.
@@RetroCheatsGod, I hope the next-gen Nintendo console isn't the last physical system.
I don't want the all digital future to happen
I hate digital future too. But luckily Switch 2 will be the last physical game system.
So will have plenty of Call Of Duty, Assassin's Creed, GTA VI, and cool Mario and Zelda physical games out for Switch 2, so I can live with that before we move to digital future after that!
@@nepaliprayasgurung2594 I am worried for game based stores I like going to those so I hope the digital future does not happen
@@nepaliprayasgurung2594 Is there a way to stop the all digital future?
@@DogDayFromPoppyPlaytime180 Probably not pal all big companies are heading toward that directions. Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo will eventually be there by next decade. When they come out with Switch 3 or some other console.
But we might get to stop game monthly rent and get to permanently keep digital games I suppose.
If most people were to protest and stop using cloud games then. We might have digital future but hopefully no cloud gaming subscription just being able to keep digital games forever is good enough for me if not I'm gonna lose my f**king mind!
@@nepaliprayasgurung2594 I have mostly physical games and only some digital games, that's why I don't want the digital future to happen
Don't forget that Japan is a huge market for Nintendo, and they prefer physical over there.
That may be, but if that's the case, then what I'm worried about is actually having the Switch 3 be altered for the west so it's all digital. The physical card slot only exclusive to Japan.
Wouldn't it be cheaper to just export it as is?
@@nathangitz2674fortunately now that region locking is dead console manufacturing is more uniformed and the systems are all the same everywhere. Even before then the only examples of consoles losing features between regions I know of was the microphone on the Japanese NES and the Japanese Dreamcast being compatible with Saturn games
@@fgfhjfhjfbhfghf5771Fun fact: the Japanese NES is known as the Famicom over there, but ya probably knew that.
@@fgfhjfhjfbhfghf5771Japan always get higher quality video game consoles where did they get backwards compatibility and why do we over here in the Americas why didn't we get backwards compatibility with the Dreamcast probably cuz it wasn't even a hit at all in America
@@NatetheNintendofan Are you making the declaration that Japan gets higher quality game consoles, or are you asking if they do? Are you asking why Japan got backwards-compatibility with the Saturn on the Dreamcast when the West didn't, or are you stating that the West didn't because the Saturn was unpopular in the West? This is a really confusing comment.
I'm definitely one of the people who wants game cartridges. I'm a pretty old gamer (almost 60). It makes some sense that young adults would like digital games more. I also really like some older games, and I'm really happy to have a few ds systems and quite a few of my favorite old games.
Really I am in my 30s and feel that way I started playing in 98 during the n64 era but your inspiring hopefully god willing if I live long enough to be in my 60s I hope still be playing
i like cards more too and im 19
Maybe the next console may implement a way to rip games from cartridge to digital but that mean you can’t share cartridge
It truly is sad especially cause I have never bought or even thought about buying a digital version of a game
What happens after the Switch 2? I stop being a gamer and I just replay all of my old games.
Same
All digital... a horrible nightmare. I 100% agree with all your reasons.
I already have trouble accepting that the game progress is saved on the switch and not on the cartridge itself. I lost my first switch to waterdamage... and BAM... all game progress lost. Wouldn't have happened in the past, when the games were actually saved on the cartridge.
And to think that we all might be forced to pay full prices because there wouldn't be any second hand market any longer for games and we are not able to share with friends... and we might loose the games once Nintendo (or other companies) decides to drop them...
no words for this possible future...
If you add Nintendo Switch Online all your game data would’ve been backed up to the cloud so your progress would’ve still been saved, but sorry to hear about your switch being water damaged.
@@Adamtendo_player_1God, I hope Nintendo doesn't reject physical games in the future, and I hope that the next-gen Nintendo console isn't the last physical system.
Nintendo doesn't have a way to back up saves to SD card?
@@Adamtendo_player_1 Maybe, but this is a service you have to pay for... you see the problem with that?
Pay full price for a game, pay extra so you can rescue your game progress... :(
@@veskara8302 A service that you pay extra for, that can be terminated at any given time - be that your account, for any reason, or even no reason, with the company not having to explain because you've agreed to the EULA, or be that the termination _of the service itself._ Not to mention that "the cloud" is just your save being stored on a server somewhere; even if it's backed up in multiple servers, these could all fail, or there could be an outage with authentication servers and your system may not be able to connect to anything while those auth servers are down.
It's really nothing that you wouldn't be able to accomplish with a flash drive or an SD card, though I don't know if the Switch lets you back up your saves to these. I wouldn't be surprised if the next system didn't have this as an option to further incentivize paying for a service you really shouldn't need and is by no means infallible.
In terms of some digital media from Nintendo, some games from the Wii U and 3DS have been ripped and can be emulated, which includes DLC and eShop only titles. Meaning that anyone with a decent PC, the roms itself and the emulator can play it sometime in the future.
That being said, your biggest fear is not an all-digital future. It's when cloud gaming takes over.
Not only that. But with hacked consoles, you can also play those games on the original hardware. And that may be important for future speedrunners, for example, because speedrunning on emulator is almost like cheating.
I exclusively buy physical games and I always try to get dvds of movies I like. I love knowing that I have it, and if the power goes out or I have to go on long trips I can take them with me.
Or if the world goes to crap and the internet disappears, I can still power up a generator and watch some movies or play some games.
The sad part is the consumers don’t care about preserving copies at all and will continue to buy stuff.
That's terrifying!🥶
God, I hope Nintendo doesn't reject physical games in the future, and I hope that the next-gen Nintendo console isn't a digital only system or the last physical system.
Also, I hope indie game developers, AA game studios, and independent retail stores (such as PlayAsia and Book-Off for a example) will save physical media of video games, because indie game developers, AA game studios, and independent retail stores cares about you and listen to you.
@@keeganmcfarland7507 they always focus on the Japanese market where physical is still the majority
Game developers have been focusing on digital only for this entire generation. If people hadn’t noticed there are many games that are sold in the physical cases but only contain a download code. Alternatively, disconnect your internet and insert a brand new game…CAN’T BE PLAYED, as the disc/cartridge only contains a small portion of the game, but requires a 10+GB “update” on day one. (That isn’t an update, that is downloading majority of the game.). So, effectively the purpose of collecting physical games, is null…once the game stores are offline, the game is gone as if it was a digital copy.
This is unrelated to Nintendo but I'm worried the 3rd Final Fantasy VII Remake game won't be physical
I could honestly see it being Square's last physical
There's no reason to have a console with no physical media. I'm just gonna become PC-only at that point.
This is why I do steam when I buy games digital you actually own it. Even if it does get removed in store, you'll still have it in your library where you bought it earlier.
GoG is a far better platform due to the lack of DRM, and the fact that you can take the installers offline and put it on a thumb drive or a set of discs.
12:57 I can relate getting to looking at the box was and still is one of my favorite things about about getting a physical game
All digital games means Gamestop is done lol
not really as people keep their old systems and will buy used games..
Physical is owned Digital is rented. If I want to own something I buy physical only wether music, films or games. But I am old so I like to own things as if I have not finished that game I will come back to it later I still play text adventures on the zx spectrum that I have not finished a few times a year :)
It is pretty sad when physical games eventually will die out but I do feel that with Nintendo. They are one of the last to still embrace physical media fully and at least in Japan more than half of sales of current switch games or physical games rather than digital. I think it’s closer in the west, but least we Nintendo uses are still very much enthusiastic about physical games, so I don’t see Nintendo getting rid of physical games any time soon, especially with it being such a Huge part of sales of games for the current switch, and I’ll even argue that a lot of Nintendo switch users in the west still very much by physical games at least I do still for my switch. As for physical media on PS5 and Xbox series X physical media is pretty much useless on those systems because you still have to download the rest of the game where is at least with the switch cartridges at least with Nintendo games, the full game is on the cartridge.
This definitely is an important matter. I myself have fond memories of getting games as presents, especially when I got HeartGold for Easter. Don't want all digital, I want options, especially when storage space is limited. Also why does YT think this is a Ducktales 2 video
Companies dont dictate the trends, the market does.
Companies can and do steer the market towards what makes them more profit
@@RedMage8BT that's because people act desperate and the companies exploit that desperation if people had some kind of restraint and voted with their wallet then this wouldn't be an issue. There's no reason for anyone to run and get the latest iPhone on day 1, even though they were the first in line the year before. Consumers have the power if they allow themselves to.
@@skullkid8094 I've been adamantly saying for the past 15 or so years to vote with your wallet, since whenever I bought Spore and had to crack my purchased copy because I was making immature spaceships(I was 15 or 16) that I attempted to set to NOT share with others, but the game still shared the data with EA, and them deleting it server-side resulted in my game updating client-side with the spaceships deleted and corrupting my save file. The response I got from most people: "Sucks to be you," as they continued to buy more and more games from EA, while they'd complain more and more as the years went on and practices got worse, but they kept buying.
Unfortunately, people, by and large, *will not change if it requires effort.* With more accessibility, instant gratification, options(or illusion thereof), etc., people have become complacent. They'll complain about stuff, but keep tossing money at it, with the worst justifications you can imagine. It's like they don't understand the concept of being a *customer* and buying a product that you want as it is, instead of being a "consumer," where you're financially supporting a company or individual for a product you _wish_ to have, that does not actually exist. Many people are horribly complacent, and they feel no reason to change this.
So from here, the companies definitely *do* dictate the market and trends. The people can't dictate this when "the people" do not function as a collective that will go even slightly against the grain.
Consumers are the dumbest idiots ever and companies know it.
People say this every generation...
Ugh, I hate Digital, the feeling of not actually owning the product you bought sucks. I’m fine with 100% online games being digital though, because once people stop playing or the servers get shut down it’s dead
their has to be a law passed by congress which guarantees you your digital game rights
I wish this were true, but tbh, congress seems to be run by huge corporations. They don't seem to do much to protect consumers.
That said, if they did, this would be an easy call.
I’m glad I was able to get some CRT’s with component inputs so I can plug in my RGB modded retro systems with the awesome HD Retrovision cables. My TV’s also have stereo audio out so I have some shielded stereo speakers. It’s a great setup that I want to last for as long as they will work.
New trend #keepgamesphysical
Even if they aren't going to be on a disc anymore, I think it'll be great to have it in some form even if it's on a cartridge
I’d rather give up gaming all together then accept buying digital.
Well, at least Nintendo is not going to go digital because they are a Japanese company and most Japanese people prefer physical media.
Nintendo hasn't pushed Digital, other than vouchers.
And that’s the first step
@@therealjaystone2344 if it's a first step, then the Switch 3 should still stay physical, but switch 4 I'm not so sure anymore!
Come to think of it. I think just about every form of physical media should be on a disc or cartridge such as movies and music albums, etc.
I agree with you
Been buying digital since 2010 on Steam. Most of my games were digital in the PS4 era. Now I have the PS5 digital. Im not gonna have 200 discs laying around. To me digital is way more convenient. That being said, I am against removing physical 100%. But, for better or worse, things are heading digital and I am fine and prepared for tgat.
Resist. For years now, people should've been aware they're manipulated into depending on digital services. Then we pay whatever they want to charge as a subscription or we have no games / movies / music at all. Not to mention the creators get little to no payment, or in future it might all be made by AI. Big corporations paying nothing and charging for everything. Resist.
Honestly if game consoles don't have a physical media like a cartridge or a disc, there is no reason to prefer a console over a PC in my opinion. When that happens I rather consolidate all my gaming to one system, the PC.
God I would hate for an all digital future……
Same. Hopefully it won’t happen.
If buying doesnt mean owning then piracy also doesn't mean stealing .
Nah it’s still stealing. No one is forcing you to buy the license.
@@hass556 but if you buy don't get to keep ? What if you buy a a car and all of sudden company decides tow it away saying you don'tget right to keep it we just allowed to drive it and now we are taking it back ?
@@abhaysoni8572 Don't sign a bad contract then. You don't have a right to just steal the damn thing
@@hass556 But when I buy shouldn't I get the right to keep my licensed copy ?
@@abhaysoni8572 shouldn't I be king of the world? Should and IS are two different things.
Those were the days, going to the store, picking out a game, and spending the whole ride home reading the case and manual. The digital era is more convenient but can't replicate that.
I have to give Nintendo props, they've kept physical media at the forefront much longer, especially if the next gen console still has carts.
You'll see this is a bad part about digital media you don't actually own it and there's no way if you're just buying it on like not a streaming you're just buying it on a service and you haven't fully bought there's no way that you're going to freaking be able to put that on to a media center on your computer as an MP3 or MP4 or something
I play pc now so I’m all digital but the DS part of me want physical games, even with my switch oled but we’re almost at the end of the switch life span so I haven’t bought the too many games lately
maybe the will introduce when the first on comes that you fully own it and can transfer the game to the latest system
It sucks. Even for PC, there's no telling if the Valve 20 years into the future will be the same Valve as it exists today, especially after Gabe eventually retires or passes away. I don't know what the future looks like for consoles, but my hope is that, in the least, you will always have a record of purchasing games on your Sony/Nintendo/Microsoft account, and it will be able to carry over to the next generation console in some form. If not, then it may just be time for me to just keep playing the games I have and rediscover games that I never did play through emulation.
I have a modded GameCube that plays anything from NES through GameCube.
Between that and my Switch or Switch 2, I could be gaming on those for the rest of my life.
We have 30+ years of good games to go through.
I Rather Do Physical Copy That's Just Me
...yeah there's a reason they slowed down production of and added an external disk drive for the digital only version of the PS5. not everyone has access to a high speed connection or the money for massive hard drives needed for all digital consoles
I also like more physical games. But I get it of they go for everything digital, it'll be better for the environment as well, they don't need to make the packages etc, there will be less waste
The biggest problem for us is that games bought to the parents account cant be played on the kids switch if the parent account is playing a different online game on a different switch. That would be no problem with physical games. And also, digital games have no value after its bought.
It doesn't make sense to get rid of physical games because people are still buying them. why can't people just have the option to purchase both digital and physical games
Makes perfect sense to those running the world. Manipulate people into depending on digital services. Then you pay whatever they want to charge as a subscription or you have no games / movies / music at all. Not to mention the creators get little to no payment, or in future it might all be made by AI. Big corporations paying nothing and charging for everything. Resist.
I agree with most of this video, I would hate an all digital future. But we will most likely be able to access the files or the all digital games unless the system is going to be completely homebrew/modding blocked like the Xbox One and Series. For example there are tons of Digital Only 3DS games I can download right now from certain sites because people mod the systems and extract the files of the games, but who knows maybe the next Nintendo systems will be Homebrew proof. Hope not...
That will be such a living nightmare. 😞
love how you described the way home with your pokemon game box. i love those memories. the golden foil on the link of the past, or the huge guide in the huge secret of mana box. or taking my grandma to buy the n64 and explaining her everything about it while she doesnt understand a thing
I remember opening the game box on a train or a bus home and reading the manual. I miss the manuals a lot. They were, like, added bonus for a game. Nowadays, we don't even have online manuals anymore. You just have to go and hope the game will explain anything to you. Or just go online to those unofficial guides. It's just not the same experience anymore 😥
The all digital future isn't that bad. It's only going to be bad when streaming becomes the only way. Though all of those video and movie streaming services you mentioned are failing anyway. Only a few of them have been profitable, but game streaming is horrendous. I play on Switch and PC and I only get digital copies now but so long as you hack you consoles those games are yours forever and long as they're not online games the game is still yours to play so long as you don't delete it but with hacked systems you have piracy as an option when companies get out of hand. Backup ypur games to separate folders and enjoy. The collection editions I agree losing those will be no fun but I'm sure they'll still do em and give you a code
Everything will be digital
Just like there will be no more movie thewtres. Eventually just will go stream movies at home through Hulu etc.
When it comes to Films & TV Shows there are still a huge community of us that don’t want infinite monthly subscription fees that still buy DVD’s, Blu-Rays & 4K Blu-Rays
Yep. I just watched a CZcams video where a guy has this huge collection of DVD movies and season sets, and he stopped all of his subscriptions.
I've thought about doing the same, but I'd have to convince my Wife.
@@John6-40 If you have the space and the Wife says yes great but if not she’ll probably be ok with you guys have a collection of your all time favourite Films in physical media format you both absolutely love and both know are gonna watch again forever in the future without being disappointed about not finding them anywhere on stream or disappearing forever if the company that owns them collapses with no one else picking up distribution rights etc. I think that is always a fair compromise or at least like I told my minimalist brother the other day that he should own at least one of one of each in Film & TV with his all time favourite Film being Robocop and all time favourite TV Series being The X-Files each in physical media form so he’ll never be disappointed when he cannot find any of them on streaming one day which could easily happen any year not to mention not putting up with any weird edits or removals due to modern BS etc
If gaming goes all digital I wont buy the systems or games anymore, I recently just setup my older consoles the super nintendo being my oldest system but playing some of the games on the original Xbox and PS3 is still fun I wish I had my old PS2 but I will maybe buy a refurbished one at some point, for me the hardest part is finding controllers for the older systems.

I will say this: if other console manufacturers decide to embrace going all digital, I really hope that they at least give us a way to back up the games we purchase onto a hard drive, like the games we buy on PC.
While I do agree with the almost all the statements in this video, there is one that I disagree with. I know that game preservation will still be possible in an all digital world. Even with digital games there will still be people who rip digital roms and make emulators for them. If you want an example of this, the 3ds has digital roms uploaded all the time. You can always emulate 3ds game too. Game preservation is always possible, as long as there are enough people who put in effort to preserve them.
I’m probably going to quit buying new games when things for fully digital cause there are just way way too many negatives going all digital. Looks like I’m gonna need to bust my ass to preserve my physical games so I’m not completely screwed over.
When its digital only it will get worse, right now they give digital people benefits cause they have to compete with physical but once its all digital they don’t have to do anything pro consumer
if we cant speak with our voices, we have to do so with our wallets, guys. I honestly believe we can prevent this from happening if we stand up. Our numbers as video gamers are HUGE!
There's nothing fun about collecting digital media. Take less space on a hard drive. I prefer to buy physical copies of a video game/book/movie because it's actually preserving the media itself. I know digital does too but I personally prefer something I can actually feel in my hands. Plus you can keep playing your games whenever your internet goes down which is a thing you can't do with digital games.
We're already seeing it with games like pokemon ORAS: the digital shop has closed down and the physical cartridges break down left and right (at least the European versions are notorious for that): digital games are lost when the medium is no longer supported by the developer.
I don't want just a license to play a game until the developer says 'no'. I love booting up games from 20-25 years ago for some nostalgia. That will no longer be possible in the future, unless you go for pirating.
It's horrible. Don't do it game makers, we want physical copies.
The mod community will find a work around for the 2040 concept.
I fear for the lack of game if they are only online and multiplayer. We can fight it working together.
Smart companies will keep both options that company will win the war.
Completely agree..👍
Yea the all digital future is inevitable the main reason it isn't here yet is because it isn't too convenient compared to physical to get. Like I get it for PC, you need a whole DVD drive and stuff like it is massively inconvenient but right now, it isn't massively more convenient to get physical games on consoles compared to digital so physical will survive. If we do go into the all digital future, I believe there should be laws passed to protect the consumer so you know, we actually own our games, as well, maybe companies could be required to participate in preserving their games so they won't be lost forever but yea that's just me.
You should make videos on GBFR
The game at 5:05 looks really good
A solution can be release the game digitally 2 weeks before physically.
i'm not agasint the digital future like alot of the majority are i love both physical and digital equally but everyone have there own difference preference i respect that i'm a fan of both but there is apart of me that love digital media better because i don't want my room to get stack up with alot of physical media i love that digital media all our games are inside of the system ut i do heard alot say the bad side of digital media is the games don't actually belong to us if it's digital media gamin and could gaming and our games can be gone just like that but i want to say that it doesn't matter to me that it the games is mine or not at all but the only thing i do agree with that i'm also concern about is that i do hope our games don't disappear if we order our games in digital media that's the only thing i hope that doesn't happen but i'm ok with everything else in my honest unpopular opinion but i respect everyone's difference preference if some don't like digital media prefer love physical media over digital media, some love prefer digtial media over physical media some that don't like phyisical media and some love both phyiscal and digital media equally well for me i love this change i'm not against all digital future i'm all for it that's just me because i love embrace change i don't mind and i don't care if i own it or if i don't actually own it at all it's fine if the majority are against this digital future and some of the miniroty are all for it not against this digital media future at all the only way the majority will be ok with this change own digital media they find a way so we can own the games keep it forever that we actually owned it digitally and we will never lost our games it will never get gone that's the only way the majority will be ok with this digital future i guess
I would love to still have physicals but digital gaming seems inevitable….
I just hope FF7 Remake part 3 is still physical
I've no doubt that digital sales are more profitable but I don't believe for a second they're more popular. Almost every casual gamer I've talked to IRL is at most vaguely aware of buying games digitally and just prefers to walk into a store and pick up a case or even order a physical copy from amazon or something. I see the same when I'm talking to any type of gamer in general with the Xbox Series X/S. They don't wanna spend the extra money for 4K that their TV doesn't support and extra processing power that like 3 games use but they also don't wanna go without a disc drive
But the series s is all digital
leaks can very much still happen in an all digital future
leakers always find a way to leak stuff
but yeah for now it's still possible to redownload games you bought digital, if that comes when this is no longer possible...yeah that's a future I don't wanna see, even in an all digital future (then I guess you gotta make sure to always have them downloaded and installed, but that can be an issue if we don't have enough space, even with storage expansions)
tho as a collector of certain things, I like collection the boxes the games comes in and sometimes the collectors editions too
I don't wanna see that go away, same goes for stuff like movies
like it's great when they're on the service you use, but with an all digital future, if they decide to take them down, there's no longer any way for you to watch or play them, which is why I like collecting the physical copies, so I still have them if they go off the service
the only thing I can give those far in the future if they're living in a digital only future is: hope the old game gets added to the online service, or get a remake or remaster, cause that would be the only way you can play them then.
Basically, don't get rid of physical media, industries
there's so many reasons to keep them and lot more positives about keeping it, then there is to not do it
I also don't want a future where buying something doesn't mean anything anymore, where if they take them down...you cannot play them anymore...even tho you bought it (I seen somewhere where a company said: "get used to not owning anything" ...something like that, and I don't like the sound of that either
I don't want all digital future for games 😭
I personally think digital is a complete bad idea it negates the thing without the physical copy I have a good feeling they would make it even several times more expensive why would I want to pay a few extra dollars just to buy a digital copy when clearly the physical copy is 10 times better cuz you can always play it there are some exceptions that it can be helpful but I guarantee you people are going to be a little bit disappointed and Furious and that would probably killed some businesses especially businesses like Disney I know that's a bit biased but that's how I feel dropping them just defeats the purpose
I don't think Nintendo is going for all digital future, as with the last two Nintendo games that I pre-ordered the Physical cope of the game, I got a gift with the game. So I guess Nintendo is trying to push people to buy Physical copies of the games, and only offer the option of buying digital for people that want to.
There is no rumor that the ps6 is going to be all digital. Dafuq?
God I HATEEEEE all digital. I collect physical copies of all my games. And I’m a huge physical collector of Pokemon. I see em cheap (rarely) and I snag em. Like to display them around the house lol. If I have to stop this trend I will be very upset
I don’t think I will ever buy a digital only console.
Buying games digitally only gives the console makers and server managers and whoever else has a hand in complete control over your hobby. If you ever decide to have a public personal opinion that decide that they don't like, they can take everything away from you and lie about why they are right, and you deserve nothing.
Hey mate I mean this as some helpful criticism, but you say "pretty much" far too often.
I payed 23€ for FF7 with DLC as PS5 Version, physical. 17€ for FF CC (PS5) and 37€ for the Zelda TotK Collectors Edition. Fuck Digital.
Goodbye Gamestop.
Digital download will be the beginning of the end of consoles that's like renting at blockbuster
It won't happen if the consumers don't succumb to hype and think for themselves.
I still think physical media will be still relevant in years to come.
If an all digital future arrives, i will just stop buying new games and start piracy. I really hate the all digital future and wish it never arrives
Switch 2 might be the last system in multiple ways
I don’t think the switch 2 will all of its Japanese user base who are the ones that mostly buy physical games for the current switch not yet Nintendo is the only one flying the flag for physical games right now.
@@Adamtendo_player_1God, I hope Nintendo doesn't reject physical games in the future.
I’m a physical media person and if they do end up going all digital the game prices need to come down.
I hope Nintendo doesn't reject physical games in the future, and I hope that the next-gen Nintendo console isn't the last physical system.
Nintendo is all about collectibles and merch, they will be last to go digital only. A digital only world for games and media will happen but also end.
The reason I state that is our infrastructure is not getting better. Once someone hacks a streaming service it’s game over for that company in the future.
There will be a rise in physical media after people realize they don’t own there game library.
Physical games from years past are already fetching high prices due to broken copies etc even mass produced games like Pokemon.
When people realize that they will start to want physical games again.
Unless people start buying physically more the demand for digital will only go up.
Until the digital eco system cant keep up and collapses. When that happens all companies will be in a panic. A solar flare for example knocking out wifi on grids for years is a great example of something that could happen, or hacking into servers and shutting them down. Which is becoming more of a possibility. When digital becomes the way, its when I stop supporting the company who makes the games.
If that future is realised, i’ll move to pc for good
God, I hope the next-gen Nintendo console isn't the last physical system.
I don't want Nintendo to reject physical games in the future, and I don't want physical games to dissappear in the future.
I had so many good memories with the Nintendo DS-WiiU over the years, and it was awesome!
God, I hope indie game developers, AA game studios, and independent retail stores (such as PlayAsia and Book-Off for a example) will save physical media of video games, because indie game developers, AA game studios, and independent retail stores cares about you and listen to you.
Dude you need to chill out for once, I've heard a rumor that the Switch successor to be physically/ digitally backward compatible, will enhance games
For most people there are people who never had the internet so if they can't even make an account to buy these games that's money being lost to the publisher I get digital is good and all but I prefer a physical cuz that's why I grew up with however be a physical game or is better because what if you don't have internet you can't even buy the games what if you don't have the money to pay for this stuff get some people may not think of that but there are people who can't even afford it or even have to use their phone it's something to think about because for me I grew up not being able to used Nintendo eShop as a kid I grew up with physical I'm 21 years old but still I still wish we should have an option to use physical media cuz without it it's unfair to people who don't have internet or even can pay for that I sound like an idiot for saying that but I'm just saying it's true
I don't want an all digital future. If that starts to happen with video games, I may very well have to boycott. It's already been happening with generation 8, because you have to install games onto the console. Having an all digital future just opens the door for all kinds of nefarious DRM tricks, and in terms of ethics, I will not stand for it. I do not at all mind buying digital video games, but that cannot be the only option! I still want to be able to own my games!
Game card is fine
If the Switch 2 lasts longer then the PS6, sure.
what about the Nintendo company? it can't go out of business! it's been popular since the 19th century, 1880s, of course!
It’s not gonna be easy but we just have to rally together & boycott the new game system that do online only .
PC gamers have been all digital with their games since 2003. 🤷🏼♂ I am nearly all digital with my Switch and PS5. And 100% all digital with my Xbox Series S.
Me too😎
Okay tell me when was the last time you seen a PC come built in with a disk drive that was prebuilt you probably don't have an answer cuz it was a long time ago
@@NatetheNintendofan and your point is? ...What I said is still true that PC gamers have been all digital for 20+ years for the most part due to digital only libraries with Steam, GOG, Epic, and others. I just don't get why it seems to be such a problem and something brought up nearly every day online when people think about PS, MS, and Nintendo.
Ill probaby be dead by 2031
Keep getting my hours cut . Only work 5 hours a week. Pathetic.
All digital future means I got no attachment to the games, which means I will feel no guilt for pirating the game.
I would just buy them at retro game stores because pirating is illegal.
@@traviscunningham7062 Your comment made no senses, as there would be no way to buy a digital game from the store. In fact, you do not even own a digital game, and the company has the right to take away your digital game if they so choose!
No
