I just bought a Switch copy of Red Dead Redemption for $30 USD at Walmart and wondered if that’ll be the last of its purchase I’ll ever make. There’s nothing quite like buying a new cellophane-wrapped copy and it makes me sad the physical age of gaming is at its twilight.

    Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.

    Bought it, but never played it. It’s still in its plastic wrapping, sitting on my shelf, taunting me, quietly whispering “pile of shame” every time I walk by.

      Same here. A local store had a Black Friday sale that Echoes of Wisdom qualified for, despite only being released within the last couple months, so I snagged it. But I still haven’t gotten around to playing it yet.

    Horizon: Forbidden West. If we put a few PS5 games aside, I suspect it was Orange Box.

    Game Gear game, Castle of Illusion. Huge childhood nostalgia for that game and it wasn’t too expensive either. Got it just a year or two ago at an Another Castle in the Seattle area to use with my Analogue Pocket

    Got Fantasy Life i on switch just two weeks ago.

    Technically a Japanese cartridge because it’s the only physical edition, but it!s the same as the e-shop, all included languages and compatible with the Switch 2 upgrade patch.

    I am still buying Switch 2 physical games, but only if they’re actually on the cartridge and not that empty keycard bullshit.

    It was probably when I bought my Link Between Worlds 3DS XL. I bought physical cartridges for it, but I think I was getting them on Amazon mostly. When I got the switch my whole collection was digital downloads.

    I was going to say Rock Band on the Xbox 360, but then I remembered I did own a couple of games physically on the PS4 as well. The last one… Maybe Nioh? So that would be in 2017.
