If you’re looking to snap up New Super Mario Bros. 2 on launch day but can’t make it down to your local video game store, you need not despair, as Nintendo is introducing a new way to buy selected Nintendo games directly from the comfort of your home via Nintendo eShop on your Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo 3DS XL system.
From 17th August, the much anticipated New Super Mario Bros. 2, along with the recently launched New Art Academy: Learn New Painting Techniques and Share Your Art and Freakyforms Deluxe Your Creations, Alive! will all make their download debut as they become available for download directly from Nintendo eShop.
Many more Nintendo 3DS games are also on the way in the near future, so keep an eye out on Nintendo eShop. Downloading New Super Mario Bros. 2, New Art Academy and Freakyforms Deluxe will allow you to enjoy the same content as the traditional packaged game but as a downloadable version saved onto the SD Card of your Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo 3DS XL system.
As a further incentive to start downloading, each full game purchased from Nintendo eShop will be rewarded with double the normal Stars in your Club Nintendo account. To receive your Stars you must first link your Nintendo 3DS system to your Club Nintendo account and complete the Club Nintendo survey.

I might get this even though I just got Sonic Colours and Mario Strikers Charged and shouldn’t spend anymore money on games for a while
It looks so fun!
First!!!!
OK second
Youre not first until you take my penis out of your butt.
I think digital is good for portable gaming and old VC games, but let me just say why its bad for next gen.
All next gen systems will have 25GB disk, that can be dual layered to 50GB. Developers have ALOT of room, and will use it. Do you really want to download a game over 25GB?…it took my ps3 over 24 hours to download about 42GB.
xbox 360 can download everything within a min
360 can break within a minute.

NOT TRUE
k.
LMAO^^^
We don’t care about your daughter, Adolf Hitler!
Also, it took me once 30 minutes to download a demo. lol
took me 2 minutes
It took a whole minute just to turn on
And then the controller disconnected
And then I turned it off to play a real console
koopa. Stop trolling about 360 unless u want me to go on a tirade about how wii and wiiU is for casuals only :P
Xbox 360 it’s for casuals. Kinect, SmartGlass. Haha. PS3 it’s where it’s at!
Xbox fanboys are mad because there is no game that looks as kick-ass as Beyond: Two Souls! PS3 4 life!
It’s funny how Nintendo fans troll only the 360. Even they know PS3 it’s GOLD.
No, but we still have some respect for Sony because of the PS2. We know that Sony still might do something good. The PS3 is in no way gold. It was too expensive and did lack good exclusive games for a really long time. It has became better now though and when it’s confirmed that the PS4 will not be backwards compatible I might pick up one of these.
You should. If you will buy a SP3 pick up Ratchet and Clank Crack in Time, Twisted Metal, Uncharted 2 or 3 and Sly Cooper if you are getting it next year.
hi there i found specs on ps4 games 6 terabyte halographic disk too big for download soo no downloading 6 terabytes games even with fast 20 mb/s internet conection ps 3 games only 50 gb blu-ray ps4 games will dorf the ps3 games
hi there ps 4 games are 6 terabyte halographic disk
hi there ps4 gamers are vv6 terabyte halographic disk
But, Casuals have been driving sales skyward for ages now, and they count as gamers too, so this isn’t a bad thing and can’t really be used as an insult……
u suck butt
hi there wii u ant for cuasual only games why do nintendo use quad core 3 ghz 1 gb d-ram 32 mb cahe ram 8.5 gb flash storage the tablet b567 mb 533 mhz ram flash on board tablet controler

Are they still going to be retail price, though? That’s the dealbreaker here.
Yup, no differences in price between retail and digital, I think Nintendo’s BS reason was so they don’t lose good relationships with stores or something. Stores could still have sales on the download codes though.
How is that a bs statement? you DO NOT want to lose game shops support… you LOSE money that way. Remember GAME’s demise in the uk?
Thank bloody god you dont work for any video game company!
Sorry, that came out wrong. I don’t mean that is a stupid reason. not wanting to break relationships is good and will help them when it comes to the Wii U launch. I meant I highly doubt that this the REAL reason they are selling them at the same price, when in fact they are just doing it to get a bit more money.
+1
Newegg had a special for $10 off on Super Mario 2 for 3DS Pre-order. I pre-ordered and don’t expect any deals like this from Digital.
gimmick game
gimmick fool^
Is this Frwakyforms Delux a new version of the game, the original was really cute but I killed that game way to quickly.
“If you’re looking to snap up New Super Mario Bros. 2 on launch day but can’t make it down to your local video game store”
Then buy on-line that way I have a physical copy and saved myself some money.
I will not support full retail download.
then don’t.
i was expecting more like a free download code for something
