Splatoon Raiders is right around the corner as Nintendo’s next big exclusive title, but in the modern era of gaming, it’s only natural to ask about physical editions of the game.
Physical editions of video games are becoming rarer and rarer, with PlayStation announcing plans to move away entirely from discs moving forward, while Xbox’s next-gen console is rumored to not have a disc drive. As such, that leaves Nintendo flying the flag for physical media.
If you’ve got your eyes on Splatoon Raiders and want to know if a physical edition is available and includes a game cartridge, Insider Gaming has you covered.
Does Splatoon Raiders Have a Physical Edition?
Yes, a Physical Edition of Splatoon Raiders is available for purchase for those who prefer to be able to hold a copy of the game in their hand.
However, there’s an additional price to pay for the privilege, with the Physical Edition of Splatoon Raiders retailing for around $10 more than the Digital Edition.
There are also no major bonuses for purchasing a Physical Edition of Splatoon Raiders, apart from small regional bonuses, so the decision ultimately lies in whether you want to have a box for the game.
Additionally, the modern era of gaming also doesn’t necessarily guarantee that a Physical Edition will come with a cartridge or disc for the game.
Does Splatoon Raiders Have a Physical Cartridge?
Yes, the Physical Edition of Splatoon Raiders comes with the game on cartridge, and does not provide a code in the box.
This edition is also not a virtual game cartridge, like other Nintendo titles, and instead provides a throwback to years gone by, when everything came in physical form.
For many, this is seen as the superior way to play games, as it provides physical ownership of a title, rather than a digital license that can be revoked or see access blocked once the lifespan of a game runs out.
While physical media is becoming rarer and rarer in modern gaming, there are no such concerns with Splatoon Raiders.
