Happy MAR10 Day! Sale ends 4/7 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
Celebrate the Mushroom Kingdom hero by saving on select digital games featuring Mario and friends. Wave 2 of the sale ends at 11:59 p.m. PT on 4/7.
There are new deals as Mario Kart wasn't on sale last week. Taking the opportunity to get the digital version. Paired it with a discounted gift card from Raise to save a few more bucks.

maybe this is just me but I want the actual game if I'm gonna spend $40 not a download. That gives me the option of selling in the future or lending to a friend.
I've only played most of these Mario games on the display at best buy but they seems kinda repetitive.
There are ones that are board based where you are just clearing stages, and those feel the same as they did on SNES.
Then there is the Odyssey type where you just run around a 3d landscape and have to figure out what to do. This seems ultra time.consuming so it got boring for me in 30 mins. The first type is better for my personal taste, but I also felt the experience was the same as it has been for 30 years.
I'll prob just go with apple arcade for $5 a month and settle for just playing NBA 2k
NBA2k… a game where you literally run back and forth across a 100-foot court doing a single thing….throwing a ball into a hole…for an hour at a time . You don't find that repetitive, but you think Mario games are??? I guess everybody's different.

I have a question that sounds rather dumb, coming from somebody who's about to go purchase an OLED Switch (and has otherwise never owned or played a Switch before).
Should I buy digital games or physical games, all things being equal?
My last foray into console gaming was with an Xbox One and it seemed like most physical games I bought came with fairly essential key codes that locked things to your account and didn't allow you to easily resell the game afterwards, negating one of the main benefits of a physical game. I don't know how the Switch ecosystem works, though. Do I have the ability to load an entire physical game onto the SD card so I don't need to carry physical games around? Would love some insight for a noob, here. Thanks in advance!! :-)
