Nintendo appears to be moving towards charging less for digital games than physical games starting with Yoshi and the Mysterious Book
>Beginning in May 2026, and starting with preorders for *Yoshi and the Mysterious Book*, new Nintendo published digital titles exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2 will have an MSRP that is different from physical versions.
>Nintendo games offer the same experiences whether in packaged or digital format, and this change simply reflects the different costs associated with producing and distributing each format and offers players more choice in how they can buy and play Nintendo games.
>As always, retail partners set their own prices for physical and digital games, and pricing for each title may vary.
Apparently in some regions yoshi was already set to a $70 physical price and 60 for digital. So this seems like confirmation of a global shift that I guess will follow through for every game.
