AI-generated summary based on reporting by Kotaku.
Nintendo is saying physical games will stay part of its plans for Switch 2. That comes after Sony faced criticism for moving away from discs and as fans keep pushing back against all-digital gaming.
Bill van Zyll, Nintendo’s vice president and general manager for Latin America, talked about the issue in an interview at Brazil Game Show. He said Nintendo has not favored one format over another and pays attention to what players want.
Van Zyll also said Nintendo has “no plans to abandon physical media” because the Switch 2 supports both digital and physical releases. He said Nintendo knows fans enjoy physical games.
The story also points out that Nintendo still sees strong physical sales compared with some competitors. Recent data shows digital still makes up a smaller share of Nintendo’s game sales than it does for Sony, which helps explain why Nintendo is not rushing to go fully digital.
