Nintendo-published Switch 2 games to have separate physical and digital pricing starting in May

Starting in May with the game Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, Nintendo will price digital-only Switch 2 games differently than their physical counterparts. This means digital versions published by Nintendo will have their own suggested retail price.

The digital version of Yoshi and the Mysterious Book will cost $59.99, while the physical copy will be $69.99.
