Q: Does anybody know why this states that it comes with a steelbook that holds a disc when this is the Nintendo switch version? I'm looking for a switch steelbook which I got with my other Nintendo switch game pre-order but this one states that it's a disk.

A: It's likely text copied and pasted without consideration for the Switch differing from other consoles by using cartridges. The steelbook is in fact a Switch style case both in size and cartridge storing capacity.

Q: Hope this comes with steelbook case if not i'll be returning.

A: Mine did but when I ordered it automatically added it to the cart as part of the promotion.
