New Horizons, Buying Physical or Digital?

[Pudge]

Sorry if there is a thread about this already but I'm just curious. Will you be buying a physical copy, or digital? (Or both?)

I've thought about buying it digital because then it would be with me wherever I take my switch no matter what. However, I also like the idea of owning a physical copy. It feels more real I guess.

I personally prefer physical copies of games because they almost most of the time cost less, but digital is way more convinient than physical is.

Going physical with New Horizons, as my other Animal Crossings are all physical.
I love the convenience of digital, however.

I always forget my Nintendo accounts. I have like 6 of them. I actually lost a copy of AC between losing an account and losing an mixing up SD cards. It’s gonna be physical for me lol.

 

[visibleghost]

physical because i am paranoid about not having enough memory space on my switch lol

 

[2kimi2furious]

Physical. I just like having physical copies of games I love. And I know I'm gonna love this one!

It's always going to be physical for me. But why is there an option for both? Doesn't the save system on the Switch work differently from the 3ds? As far as I know, you are limited to one save file no matter how many game cartridges you have. Unless you have multiple profiles of course.

I prefer physical by far. But if there's an AC Switch, it'll most likely come with a digital copy of the game. So it depends on what Switch I get, I guess.

I added an option for both because I actually considered getting both at one point because I wanted to have the convenience of having it digitally while also owning a physical copy for my collection. I was hoping I wasn't the only one who considered this, haha.

I guess some people would go for both if they're collectors! But for me I'm going with physical. I always buy physical copies, and especially if a steelbook comes out for it that would be even cooler.

I only buy digitally for the switch, as I have limited space that's taken up by my partner's expansive gamecube collection. I don't mind buying larger SD card storage for my switch, and I also enjoy having all my games with me on the go.

 

[lars708]

I always go physical when I can.

In this case that has two big reasons for me:

1. to save on storage space on my Switch
2. because I like collecting the boxes

Sure it's not as convenient but I personally don't mind having to swap out cartridges. I do want to buy the limited edition Switch or game if that's going to be a thing and if the copy that comes with it is digital only then I might have to go digital... Unless I can sell the code and buy another copy myself or something lol.

Gonna buy the physical version here.

 

[PyroMike]

Physically would be the most likely option, as all of my large Switch games are physical, but that may change.

 

[nintendofan85]

Definitely digital. It's what I try to do if I can.

 

[Ribiveer]

I'm doing everything I can physical! I do that with every game it's possible with now, so if I ever stop enjoying I can sell it or give it away. I have a few games on the Wii U that I feel absolutely terrible for getting digital, so I swore off getting anything digital that could be physical.

 

[Alolan_Apples]

Physical. I like having a large Switch game collection on the shelf.

 

[Neechan]

Physical copy, unless digital is the only option

 

[Paperboy012305]

Digital has a change of being lost forever if your Switch get's corrupted. (I know what you're thinking, Cloud save. That is, if New Horizons allows cloud save)

But I choose Physical because the box, and nostalgic reasoning.

Physical so I can have the beautiful case for it!
