Nintendo eShop has Stray (Nintendo Switch Digital Download) on sale for $17.99.

Thanks to community member Spanky for sharing this deal.

About this game:
  • Lost, alone and separated from family, a stray cat must untangle an ancient mystery to escape a long-forgotten city.
  • Stray is a third-person cat adventure game set amidst the detailed, neon-lit alleys of a decaying cybercity and the murky environments of its seedy underbelly. Roam surroundings high and low, defend against unforeseen threats and solve the mysteries of this unwelcoming place inhabited by curious droids and dangerous creatures.
  • See the world through the eyes of a cat and interact with the environment in playful ways. Be stealthy, nimble, silly, and sometimes as annoying as possible with the strange inhabitants of this mysterious world.
  • Along the way, the cat befriends a small flying drone, known only as B-12. With the help of this newfound companion, the duo must find a way out.
  • Stray is developed by BlueTwelve Studio, a small team from the south of France mostly made up of cats and a handful of humans.

Totally get you. It took me 8 hours to beat.
So, the day the Nintendo Switch version released, my 18 year old cat, guy that was around for college, grad school, losing a parent right after losing my best friend, buying 2 homes, my marriage… etc. needed to finally be put down. Killed me.. 240lb linebacker baby that my wife had to deal with.
I was able to purchase the collectors edition (from JP) that day. Don't know why but I needed it. I've got that unopened box sitting next to his ashes and see it daily.
Probably not the usual "why do I need it" story. It's fun just collecting games too - I've got a backlog that'll last me oh… a decade or so 😅

Digital, figures.
Curious why do you want physical for game like this? It doesn't have much resale or replay value. It's a 6 hour game. I honestly think it's better digital so you randomly play it "here and there" without switching cartridges

- It's easy to share a physical game without having to be concerned about any potential restrictions. You just hand the game over and don't have to think about it.

- It saves on storage space on the micro SD card and when you have a bunch of games it really does add up. I have a substantial library/collection of physical Switch titles and a 1TB card in the system that is like 3/4 full. If they had been digital games instead I suspect the data requirements would have put the micro SD card substantially above 100% capacity. Not to mention that prices in the memory market have been totally of control and pretty volatile for awhile now, and even before that in more normal times it still wasn't exactly cheap for larger capacities.

- Perhaps more importantly, physical games, even if they still have an update to download, give you an additional measure of control over that which you are purchasing that simply isn't present with digital products, which as we have seen in some rather ugly instances can be revoked unjustly and without warning for any inane reason. And as the consumer protection laws here in the US are woefully inadequate it makes the prospect of a digital future a dicey one. While I totally get the convenience factor of digital I think that it's only going to get worse and we are going to see more such cases over time. And that's not even getting into another parallel discussion about the pitfalls and concerns around platforms/ecosystems that are forcibly turned into or made to be contrived 'walled gardens' where the platform holder controls all aspects of pricing.

Just my perspective on things. Everyone is different so to each their own. Resale value may not necessarily be a factor for any given person. Though even that is difficult to judge the future of as sometimes things that may not have much value now can later.

edit: on a side note, there are aftermarket solutions out there for easily Switching between multiple cartridges (for Switch 1 at least, not sure about Switch 2). Kind of like the function that disc changers served back in the days of music CDs. I have one that takes 8 games and that's perfectly adequate for my purposes.

Interesting idea let down by repetitive npc cat animations, should be cheaper.

It shows for Switch 2. Is this just for Switch 2? The details show the size for Switch 1 is 1.5GB. For Switch 2, it is 8GB. That is over five times the size. I wouldn't want to buy it if it just for Switch 2.

You got me excited that they released a switch 2 upgrade, I've been waiting for that. Unfortunately not. Under version it just says "Nintendo Switch" and the download size is the same for both consoles, 5.7GB. I'm not sure where you're seeing otherwise.

At the page for the Switch 2 version https://www.nintendo.com/us/store...-switch-2/ it lists download sizes as follows:

Nintendo Switch: 1.5 GB
Nintendo Switch 2: 8 GB

Oh hell yeah! Usually the eshop site has a toggle for the switch 1, switch 2 versions (and the upgrade when applicable). OP's link was taking me to just the switch 1 version.
