 Wolfenstein Youngblood does not come with a physical cart when you buy the physical version. This is according to a listing on both GameStop and Amazon. So essentially you know places that list a bunch of details about what you get when you pre-order the game are basically telling you you get the box and include it in the box is a digital download code. This to me is a basically unacceptable practice and no it's not the first switch game to do it nor will it be the last switch game to do it but it doesn't make it any more acceptable. If you buy a physical version of a game you should get the physical version of the game. If I just want box art they could offer that online and download it and I could go buy a separate case for a few extra bucks right. I don't need to spend $30 just to have a case. I get it you're getting the digital copy of the game but then I'll just buy it off the eShop and preload it and not have to worry about going to a store to get it in the first place. Now obviously Wolfenstein Youngblood isn't exactly a new game in the traditional sense right. It's more like the Luigi U DLC for Super Mario Brothers U Deluxe however or I should say Super Mario Brothers U Deluxe version on Switch comes with it but it's a little more than that because it's a new story new gameplay all this stuff but it's basically built on the engine of the new Colossus and takes place in that world so obviously it's not being treated as a brand new triple A game it's treated as kind of like a side addition basically a giant DLC for that game that is so good that it can stand on its own without needing to own the prior game and I think that's a brilliant thing I'm glad that it's only 30 bucks but no physical not even like a little 8 gigabyte cart right like they've done this in the past you give like the little 8 gigabyte cart out and then you make the rest downloadable I mean they did it with Doom they did it with Wolfenstein 2 the new Colossus they can't do it with this like they got a cheap out so bad you know why it's happening though this is the real reason it's happening Wolfenstein 2 the new Colossus clearly did not sell that well on Nintendo Switch and if it wasn't for the fact that they were already committed to the next Wolfenstein game coming to switch I'm not sure that we would have got Wolfenstein young blood the deal is the reason that they are not gonna do physical carts the reason that they're never gonna stay publicly is because the old game didn't sell well enough at least physically to justify them ordering Nintendo's expensive carts to put the game on basically they don't think they're gonna sell enough of the physical copy for it to matter anyways so why put in the effort and I obviously from a personal level think that's bad then just don't have a physical version only release it digitally but I don't like this practice okay we've already seen this happen with like Resident Evil revelations when they have one and two come out like two ended up being downloaded was one or two one of the versions were only downloadable you only got the physical cart from one of them if for some reason they could just put a bigger physical cart and have both games I I get that cartridge prices on switch are a problem right they've been a problem since the switch came out and there's been a lot of indie developers that have shed light on this problem that's why some several indie games are $10 more expensive physically than they are digitally but I I mean heck at least in the deluxe version right there's a deluxe version of this you can buy that's $10 more expensive they could have put the cart but they didn't do it so I am disappointed I don't know that it's gonna prevent me from buying the game because obviously to solve the issue you have to buy the game if the games are selling well in the first place we won't even need to worry about this and no before anyone says it I don't think we need to worry about Doom Eternal something tells me that Doom 2016 sold way better on switch than Wolfenstein the new Colossus did now to remember Wolfenstein the new Colossus didn't perform well I'm pretty much any platform released on it massively undersold expectations on Xbox one and PlayStation 4 so that franchise itself isn't really sitting at the most healthiest whereas Doom 2016 blew up on everything including switch so I do think Doom Eternal they think that's gonna be a bigger audience for that so we will get a physical version I hope so we are getting a physical version that has a cart with you know things like Mortal Kombat 11 this month so again this isn't something that's happening across the board but I know the future of video games seems to be all digital the future of video games seems to be game streaming but as long as physical versions of games are being sold at stores they need to include the physical media otherwise what the hell is the point I'll download the box art online and find an extra switch case somewhere for a few pennies anyways you guys let me know how bothered you are by this practice because I don't find it acceptable I don't know that I'm gonna not buy the game because that's not gonna do anything except lead to us not getting any more Wolfenstein games so I don't know you guys don't know what to think about this I think it's a crappy practice and shouldn't be happening in the video game industry but it does happen it's been happening and this just draws more light to it because this is a game I'm actually interested in buying and it really bothers me that there is no physical cart in a physical copy of Wolfenstein young blood anyways I'm a dinner over just from this or I'm sure to enter our Nintendo Switch Super Smash Bros.
