| sethnintendo said: I still like my cartridges but I can see your point about Animal Crossing being useful as a downloaded game. That way when you boot up your system if there is something new in the game (like mail or whatever) then that blue dot will go on the bottom of the AC logo notifying you that there is something new (like MK7, Swapnote, etc). Not anything game changing but a little neat (I'll probably have my AC cart in my system for awhile once it is released). |
To me that advantage is great. Even the act of changing cartridges can somehow make you lazy to play the game. I know I wouldn't have played Paper Aircraft Race or Brain Age, for example, as much if I had to keep changing cartridges. And that suggestion for notifications is great too. For people outside the main markets, price is also a huge advantage in digital release.
And you're right. It's not even released, but Animal Crossing is my already declared GOTY next year.
And here's another update, Nintendo secretly made another Nintendo Direct for Onitore Brain Age: Concentration.
Anyone in the mood for 35 minutes of nonstop japanese?
The games sales, as expected, are not memorable, or anything. But just like Nintendogs+Cats, in 2 years or so, they can achieve respectable numbers, like 800k in japan alone. Hard, but who knows.
