As PlayStation and Xbox move toward a more digital future, Nintendo could become the last major platform where physical games still truly matter.

Oh interesting! So there must have been different bundles because my Wii U Mario Kart bundle came with a physical copy of the game and a special red Mario controller + plastic wheel.

But looking online I do see the digital only bundle existed.

My Switch 1 didn't come with anything bundled and I brought a physical copy of Breath of the Wild.

But when I bought my Switch 2 I saw Mario Kart was digital and Legends ZA was digital, so I assumed this was a new change over starting with this generation.

    It's probably a regional difference. There might not have been an official Nintendo Eshop in your region, so you had physical editions bundled, now that there is, the bundle is digital

    There's been a LOT of bundles. Either way, we both learned something today. I'd call that a win.
