Last week there were some retailers listing Bethesda's
Wolfenstein: Youngblood and revealing that the Nintendo Switch version would be getting a physical release, but there was one problem: the
physical release would not be including a game card.
This is not something new for Nintendo Switch physical releases, especially games like the
Mega Man Legacy Collection 1&2,
Bayonetta 1&2, and
Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1&2 — providing players with just one card for the first game and a download code for the second one; a practice that players aren't very fond of.
Since the sources were retailers, we didn't quite know if it may have been a mistake by said retailers — as Bethesda had yet to officially confirm that this was, indeed, the case for Nintendo Switch versions of the game.
As it turns out, the physical release for
Wolfenstein: Youngblood on the Nintendo Switch will not be including a game card. The information was revealed by Bethesda on their Spanish Twitter account, where they confirmed that players will get a download code inside the game's box and no game card.
This is very disappointing, but it is likely that
Wolfenstein: Youngblood is simply too big for the Nintendo Switch game card. At least they are giving players the choice to get a physical box for those who simply want to collect games and their boxes, but this is disappointing news for Nintendo Switch owners.
Welcome to the 1980s. BJ Blazkowicz is missing. His last-known whereabouts: Nazi-occupied Paris. The only ones who can find him are his twin daughters, Jess and Soph Blazkowicz—and no Nazi scum are gonna stand in their way.
Wolfenstein: Youngblood will be available for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC on the 26th of July.
