Has anyone actually found the NSP/XCI somewhere?

I’ve found an update file but the base game doesn’t seem to be anywhere I have access to.

    Is saving the game from an early leak worth getting rid of physical games? I hope not.

    I might be unique in this but I’ll never “buy” a digital game. They’re impossible to resell and I can’t lend it to friends or my kids, they’d need my account or console. Plus I’ll have the physical game forever, digital games are only good as long as the servers are up.

    I’m pretty sure I’m not alone in this, so if companies stop offering physical games then I’m not going to buy them. (I’ll just pirate). I’ve preordered Zelda from GameStop. I support the content I want more of, like Zelda games, and I’ll continue to buy each one. If I don’t, then they might not make more.

      I have no interest in physical games. I’m not willing to carry around 300 cartridges or only have access to a small portion of my library. But Nintendo has to know that physical game collectors are a big portion of their audience (with probably more than any other platform in either raw number or proportion). They can’t abandon physical.

              I always imagine people who die on this hill just admiring the title screen of every game in their library for 5 seconds and calling it a gaming session lol.

              Yes, I absolutely want to be able to play any game I own on that platform at any time. That’s the entire reason I bought the game. Being restricted to the library on one platform is already a massive concession.

              “You can only play this game if you preemptively lug it around with you in case you want to play it today” is not an acceptable condition of a purchase to me.

                Did ygu mod your switch to have several TB of data? What if you don’t have Wifi?

                “You can only play this game if you preemptively lug it around with you in case you want to play it today” is not an acceptable condition of a purchase to me.

                Well, I don’t really believe that you don’t have any games that you haven’t touched for a year on your switch account. But even if you’re right: You’re an extreme edge case.

                I highly prefer being able to access my games until the hardware gives out. Not until Nintendo shuts down the services. That is unacceptable IMHO.

                Edit: Oh. And also not being able to resell or lend out my property is also bad. It isn’t even property, but rather a license that you buy when you buy digital games.
