The Nintendo Switch cartridges are very durable -- moreso than you conventional CD-ROM even. The cases they come in are so oversized, I'd recommend getting a case to hold all your games though. Digital would, of course, save you physical space and easy to keep -- but then you have to consider how much digital space is available on your Switch to store all your games --- it can fill up pretty quickly. While you can move games to an external SD Card for storage, you have to move it onto the console's internal memory to actually play and the larger games can take a while to move. Personally, I prefer the physical still.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.In my experience, its always better to have physical media.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.A digital game will be last longer because it doesn't get damage or lost.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you have a switch game case (big or small) then I’d recommend the physical. I also like to share my games with friends and they can’t do that with digital. (They can by handing over my switch or having them login to MY eShop and that’s not secure). However, if your afraid of loosing the game, no safe spot for it, could get washed, dropped, eaten by a pet, then Digital is just as good.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It would be better if you got digital because when you use the physical the wrong way it could break.Also when getting digital it’s better because you don’t have to switch games do to it being physical.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It's a cartridge so they are very durable.
