I have been wondering something... is it better to get a physical copy or should I download it? Getting the physical copy means being able to have it displayed on my collection so far but getting it on the 12th instead of the 9th. Having a downloaded copy means not having to switch out cartridges to get my play for the day and getting it at midnight launch. I have plenty of space on my SD card as well.


I'm not a big fan of digital copies (except I guess for Steam), but I am getting it on the eshop myself.  I believe it is perfect game to download since you play it in spurts (or long hours).  The only retail game that I own from the eshop is NSMB2 which I got from eshop because I couldn't resist the extra coins Nintendo was offering on Club Nintendo.  I kind of wish I just got the retail game for it but still enjoyed and thoroughly beat the game (perhaps it made me play it more since I would see it on system all the time).  So even though I am not a big fan at all of digital copies of retail games I will buy this from eshop.
