Nintendo does not plan to stop releasing physical versions of games

This was stated by Bill van Zyll, the General Manager for Nintendo’s Latin American division, during an interview with Coelho no Japão. According to him, when choosing a strategy, Nintendo primarily focuses on customer preferences. And since cartridges are still in demand, the company sees no need to abandon them. “We know how much the fans like it as well, so our position has to be agnostic,” added van Zyll. Nintendo currently has two types of cartridges. Some contain the entire game distribution, while others only include a key to activate the game download from the Nintendo eShop.
