I just bought a Switch copy of Red Dead Redemption for $30 USD at Walmart and wondered if that'll be the last of its purchase I'll ever make. There's nothing quite like buying a new cellophane-wrapped copy and it makes me sad the physical age of gaming is at its twilight.

Got Fantasy Life i on switch just two weeks ago.

Technically a Japanese cartridge because it's the only physical edition, but it!s the same as the e-shop, all included languages and compatible with the Switch 2 upgrade patch.

I am still buying Switch 2 physical games, but only if they're actually on the cartridge and not that empty keycard bullshit.
