"Contra: Operation Galuga's Physical Edition Disappoints with Download Code in a Box"

Konami's upcoming game, Contra: Operation Galuga, will not have a physical edition on the Nintendo Switch, as boxed copies will include a download code instead of a cartridge. This decision has disappointed Contra fans and Switch collectors, suggesting that Konami may not want to invest in fitting the game onto a cartridge. This is not the first time Konami has done this, as the recently released Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 also required users to download games despite having a physical cartridge. Despite the disappointment, the game itself looks promising, as showcased in a recent gameplay trailer.
