Eh, Nintendo games are still pretty complete on the cartridge.

But the real value of physical games is that you can resell them. So even if they're essentially just "links in a box," you can still sell/loan that to someone else and they can play. You can't do that with digital-only media.

You can if it's DRM-free.
