Nintendo's Latin America VP says there are no plans to ditch physical games

As spotted by Eurogamer , vice president and general manager of Nintendo Latin America, Bill van Zyll, told YouTuber Coelho no Japão that the company acknowledged fans' interest in physical media, and stressed it is guided by what consumers want. "Historically, we've been very agnostic, right?" he said. "We go off what the consumer prefers, and take that into account very heavily." He noted that the Nintendo Switch 2, which launched in June 2025, is "barely just over a year" into its life and has "both digital and physical" capability. "There's no plans to ditch physical," van Zyll added.
