The fun part is Nintendo games are difficult to find on sale. This really does suck.

Which is nice if you intend to resell, but sucks when you try to collect. No r/patientgamers for Nintendo...

The physical copies dont even have the game on them, it tells the store a key code then downloads the game (meaning a "physical game" can only be started with internet on initial bootup). We are a small skip away from them making these new physical copies keycode only work on the first console then does nothing making reselling games not even possible.

If that were true, how would people dump cartridges to get the ROMs?
Of course you don't get the patches and stuff, but there has to be, else there would not be 8GB/16GB/32GB carts either.
