Yoshi and the Mysterious Book will sell for $60 in the eShop and will have an MSRP of $70 for the physical cartridge.

An opmist would say that it is $70 game and they are adding a $10 discount for buying it digitally. A pessimist would say that it is a $60 game and there is a $10 fee for the plastic cartridge.

    Whether physical is more expensive or digital is discounted, it should’ve been like this from the start!

    Keep in mind that video games are cheaper than they have been for most of history. I get that they want to raise prices. But it never made sense that physical and digital games were the same price.

    Aside from not wanting to go through the effort of switching cartridges/discs (which is great for more passive/“permanent” games like say Animal Crossing or Pokemon maybe), I never understood the appeal of digital games for consoles. It feels like getting less for the same price.
