It's been confirmed that this will be actual game. No Game Key. Games with Game Key has a white bar at the bottom near the ESRB rating

Street Fighter 6 is one of them and you can see the difference on the game cases. See attached image
For a not even released Nintendo first party game (which rarely go on sale) $8 is significant.
It's partially significant.

Surprised to see any discount on an unreleased first party game. I thought the trailer looked boring and repetitive (and I love Donkey Kong Country) but my kid wants it so I'm sure we'll get it. Gonna hold out for a digital copy, though; I'm trying to avoid any physical games for the new Switch so I don't have to be changing cartridges.
People who don't want to keep track of cartridges and can't be bothered to pause gaming for 20 seconds to swap cartridges are part of the reason Nintendo can get away with pushing everyone towards digital games. Digital convenience for some will eventually mean less opportunities for those looking to save money to be able get a discount on used copies, or borrow a physical copy from their local library.

This is only 10% off, which is the same as buying the Nintendo Store Credit from Costco and buying it digitally. If you buy the Nintendo store credit around Black Friday, Costco has it for 20% off, if you want to go the digital route.

I wonder if some of these games are going to be hard to come by?
You never know.
Since its a launch title I would think not.
But then again Nintendo discontinued Mario All stars, Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, Metroid Dread, links Awakening on Switch not long after they released those.

Well, there you go. Show everyone just how dumb they are and find this game at a cheaper price, from a reputable merchant that everyone can access, before June 12.
The game actually releases July 17.

Oh, boy. Almost none of this is correct. The only game that was truly discontinued is 3D All Stars.

Not everyone wants digital. People prefer physical games for their collection.

No way, it can't really be over a month after the system releases... Oh. Really... Ugh, not much of a launch title then. Thanks for the correction. Then July 24!

I don't know who's trying to die and on what hill, but what I do know is that people in this thread are too loose with numbers and English. $7 dollars off a $70 game, that is, 10% off, is a significant price reduction. That is, provided you have a paid Costco membership. Sure, that's a slick deal.

I don't know if people are thinking this game is going to be scarce (hint: it's not), or if they literally don't understand numbers, but I'm fairly confident I can get this for a better price within a week from launch, if not pre/at launch, simply because a $7 reduction is next to nothing. But you guys can rush to lock in your significant savings.

Right, like just do Costco's Nintendo giftcards and buy game vouchers for an online one or something, this shouldn't push anybody to impulse buy it at 10% off when that doesn't even bring it down to old full price.

Is this a real physical game or a download key? Why am I even asking Im not getting a switch 2 because of nintengreed. nintendo has become the greedy evil corporation it has always been fighting against.
What? They've always been greedy ever since the Nintendo Seal of Approval crap started.

Constant DMCAs for everything all the way down to fan art and tattoos.

They're basically the Disney of video games.

It's a major Nintendo first-party game, and a Switch 2 launch title at that. Nintendo's pricing is a different world from PC games and other consoles. I'm actually surprised to see this below MSRP before 2026.

Obviously it's not a huge discount, but I was going to buy it anyway at $70. 10% off a pre-order is actually a good deal here.
