The longest launch window drought in Nintendo North American history is finally over! As of March 5th.

If we include digital titles then it has had some. But does anyone care that much? THe Cave released as well I believe.

To be honest though, I check Walmart shelving almost daily. Spiderman was not there as of last Thursday. Must have been a Friday or Monday launch. Which would mean 8th or 11th of March.

Since people want to play games, yes, they do care about digital releases too.

All the N64 had when the initial drought came to an end was four retail games. On the other hand, the Wii U has a total of about 40-50 games between retail and digital, plus the ability to use the Wii shop that houses hundreds of classic games and WiiWare releases.

With the amount of memory Wii U comes with, I don't think many people even consider buying digital.
