Thank you very much, that’s wonderful to have a post that just summarizes this.
Do you know if it’s possible to automate it? I’d like to publish that kind of stuff regularly for a website.

MODERATORS
I just have a manual list, but if you can find a source that list all upcoming first party games it should be easy enough.
I was checking FE, and from Nintendo themselves, the download is £58.99 and the physical is £66.99 (I think full game rather than key card?). Is this the first game where digital is cheaper on release, or have there already been others?
Yoshi and the Mysterious Book was the first game to do that. Nintendo announced that their first party digital games will be cheaper from now on, and all games have been $10 less than the physical since then.
They increased physical game prices for Switch 2 games to offset physical production costs (and thus increase their profits). Per the website affected games include:
- Splatoon Raiders (£42 → £50)
- Star Fox (£42 → £50)
- Yoshi and the Mysterious Book (£50 → £59)
- Pokémon Pokopia (£59 → £67)
- Kirby Air Riders (£59 → £67)
- Mario Kart World (£67 → £75)
- Donkey Kong Bananza (£59 → £67)
Every game released in Europe has been cheaper on digital. Splatoon Raiders seems to be the cheaper game I've seen so far, £42/£50
