It will be interesting to see how many people either cancel their orders for an alternative (such as going to a store) or simply forgo physical and go with digital. Nintendo is very good about releasing games day and date with their physical counterparts, so New Horizons will be ready at waiting at midnight on the eShop.
New Horizons is the kind of game that makes sense digitally, too. With its pick-up-and-play nature, turning on the Switch for quick bursts of bug collecting will be much easier without having to fumble around with cartridges.
