Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze - Switch

Finally broke down and bought the Pokemon Sword/Shield complete physical editions. Fucking expensive at $120 Canadian a pop, never available on any sort of sale, basically online exclusive. Sword looks like it's selling out, the last retailer I could find it from (at the $120 MSRP) was directly from Nintendo... If the Switch digital store ever dies these things will likely be the most expensive Switch games.

What do you mean by "complete physical editions" exactly. Standard + expansion pass?
Isn't the extra stuff downloads? If the service goes down it wouldn't be worth much more than the standard physical version (eg Fallout 4 goty) because you'd just be collecting the different cover.

Nope, everything on cart apparently. Not that I've tested them, but others have. Check out the bottom red text, which usually is a "internet connection required" warning:
https://www.amazon.ca/Pok%C3%A9mon-S.../dp/B08KK2Q73N

Edit: I think it may have some bonus code for Pokeballs, which is likely already expired.

All included software comes preloaded on a single game card.

Expansion pass content is on the cart. But it seems some people have reported that pokeballs and some costumes codes don't work.
The only "fix" I can see (Nintendo) is to delete everything installed and install from cart again... seems like they're hinting that it's a corrupt install issue but idk


Edit:
I must admit it's a bit odd. Being Nintendo I would think the expansion bundles would just have codes and the same standard cart. Because they usually don't care about digital stuff dying or whatever (they just might make it available to purchase again next gen etc) and making a different run of carts costs money.

Yeah, it's a really odd release for them. IDK I how many they actually sold, the base game was $80 and the season pass was $35, so it's straight up $5 overpriced. Not to mention that there were ways to get the base game on sale for like $55.

The standard game is very easy to find used for a reasonable price even over here. Unlike some other pokemon titles...
