The debate between physical cartridges and direct downloads has pros and cons on both sides of the fence. If you despise clutter and you mainly play on the go, downloading is likely your best bet (so long as you have a large-capacity microSD card). But if you play at home and you fancy a well-stocked bookshelf, cartridges might be for you.
Of course, when classic games like Breath of the Wild and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe go on sale in cartridge form, the needle quickly tips in favour of physical media. Check out Best Buy’s latest Black Friday sale on Switch games to fill up that shelf:
