New Super Mario Bros 2 (3DS): Retail or eShop?

[Charze]

So with the option of buying New Super Mario Bros 2 (3DS) in store or on the eShop, i figured we should have a place to discuss this. There are a number of advantages and disadvatages, but which ones weigh out for you?

Also, I'm making this mainly so I can figure out which way to get it.

You should have probably used this thread, I would go for a physical copy myself, I like owning cartridges, plus when I preordered mine I got a coin case with it.

I don't think there's any advantage to having the electronic copy over the hard copy unless you live super far from a video game store.

I considered it, but really I figured my question would've just been quickly lost. Oh well.

No, no, no. It's okay to have this. I mean, we have a weapon thread for Kid Icarus: Uprising...

I'm going for my first ever download copy.

I'd buy a retail copy as it's £10 cheaper and I rarely buy anything from the eShop.

Definitly a hard copy, for the sheer fact that its cheaper.

If you can get over the price and the insecurity of buying digital, it's actually pretty convenient.

 

[Zibdas]

Not to mention you have it all the time, anytime.

Got the retail copy. I like the box-art.

The retail copy is only more expensive outside of America. It's the same exact price in the US.

Outside the US, go with the retail, in the US, go with convenience.

I bought a retail copy because that's just what I prefer.
