As is customary from the retailer these days, it&#8217;s offering a 10% discount on pre-orders for Star Fox.<\/p>\n<p>This means that while the base price of \u00a344.99 is more expensive than the digital version at \u00a341.99, that cheeky 10% discount takes it down to <strong>\u00a340.49<\/strong>.

Add the 10% discount and the price drops down to an almost-criminal <strong>\u00a326.99<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch-2\/splatoon-raiders\">Splatoon Raiders<\/a> is just \u00a31 more expensive than its digital equivalent at \u00a342.99. But again, if you add that pre-order discount, the price goes down to just <strong>\u00a338.69<\/strong>. And yes, if you&#8217;re wondering, delivery for the respective release dates is free.<\/p>\n<p>Now, we&#8217;ve found ourselves frequently favouring digital games these days \u2013 we just find it much more convenient in certain situations.
