This has to be the first of its kind right?
Has a game ever shipped with no game?
(I still want it, I'm digital only)
The fortnite DLC bundle. That's in a box at the store but only has a code for the DLC. It's weird but it still sold well because it's Fortnite.
TBH, I lost interest in this port when they announced Panic Button was making this since they just flat out don't bother with performance modes like Koei does. I'd gladly take the game scaled back a bunch like their Rocket League one to play at the proper FPS like every other version, rather than having it look pretty and play the worst since if a game isn't made for a lower framerate in mind it almost never feels right. I got pretty mad when they mentioned in an interview how they didn't care about matching FPS as long as the games looked and felt fine unless it was an exception like Rocket League due to the competitive scene in that game.
I kinda find it amusing how people got so mad over Wolf II having a partial download via a patch to play the full story (due to Nintendo's awful cart costs) to the point they didn't buy it (even though you can just update the damn thing) despite Doom doing the same. (it just wasn't apparent and you NEEDED to update if you wanted bug fixes when the multiplayer should have been eShop DLC) Part of me wonders if this is just karma who people who wouldn't bother updating a game that's still easily sharable with friends, as now it's just paper that only means worth in retail exposure.
That, or this game is very close to 32GB or even above it so it literally cannot get on cart even with an update, which would be pretty bad since the base switch won't be able to even play this game. I'd like to cheer for the karma but it's still dumb form to have a game that big be fully digital instead of a more reasonable half/half deal since one use codes suck for reselling. Still it sounds like people interested would be better off preloading from the eShop instead of buying a physical copy since they're pointless at this point. Though I do hope the long-rumored GTAV port comes out this way if the gates are open, since people said it was too big to be on a Switch cart and thus never released.
