Download New Super Mario Bros 2, Double the Coins

Mmmmh so that means this is actually an exclusive bonus for North American 3DS owners then? There no such thing as Club Nintendo coins in Europe... Unless that means we'll be getting double the amount of "stars" in Europe.

Either way, I'm going with a boxed copy, thanks .

EDIT: Nevermind now .

You might have mentioned it's NA only a bit earlier... I had to find out when I read about coins instead of stars.

Aaaaanyway, I don't have a 3DS (yet) so I don't care.

I heard they're going to charge as much as the physical copy! That just seems wrong to me. There is so little extra cost involved in a digital copy compared to a physical.

I'm surprised at how small the game file is too. It's a meagre 370 MB in size!

Games bought online are ALWAYS as expensive as the boxed versions. If they were any cheaper, the retailers would protest en masse.

Now if you wait for half a year or so, you usually see online prices drop faster than those in stores... Although Nintendo is pretty famous for never dropping the price of any of their succesful games.

I like how they'll be allowing online and street retailers to lower the price of the download card as they see fit, brings discounts into possibility without actually affecting the eShop core price whilst still keeping retailers happy. Means extra work to go get those codes instead of just downloading straight from the store, but I admire the flexibility options.

Physical copies, always. I'm just a box whore.
