Nintendo Says It Has No Plans to Drop Physical Games

Nintendo has no plans to abandon physical games, according to Bill van Zyll, the company’s vice president and general manager for Latin America. He discussed the issue in an interview with Brazilian YouTuber Coelho no Japão.

Van Zyll said Nintendo has historically taken an agnostic approach, giving significant weight to consumer preferences. He also noted that the Switch 2 had only recently launched and was barely more than a year into its release period.

The comments come amid discussion of Sony’s reported plan to stop manufacturing PlayStation discs from January 2028. The source does not include the full interview or Van Zyll’s remarks beyond the excerpt, so it provides no further detail on Nintendo’s physical-game plans.
