Should I buy Mario Kart 8 Deluxe digital or physical?

It is at least 6.8gb. However, it is NOT recommended to get the digital edition. I highly suggest to buy the physical copy instead, because of you ever lose your Nintendo Switch account, then you would have to re-buy the digital game again. So just buy the physical copy to put the game case in your shelf like me.
