The official Mario Kart 8 Japanese site lists the game as 4.9GB in size.

With that in mind, how are you going to buy this game?

I'll likely buy it digitally as its simply easier, auto connects to my Nintendo Club, gives me 10% back, and its not a game I'd ever consider selling.

So May 30th and 12:01AM... its mine. (to begin download)

4.9GB? That's really not that much..

No, I'm going to stay physical as I'm too paranoid about if the console breaks, I'll lose my copy of Mario Kart 8.

Nope, physical copies are always better.

Nope. I think I will just buy the physical copy!

I think that I'll buy it physically because I guess that's just the way I am. By the way, it is the game case red? Because whenever I see it on a website there's a red border around it.

Physical copy. It will look nice on my shelf, I'm sure about that.

Also, I don't think I'd have enough space to download it anyway. :L

In North America yes. Everywhere else (I think), no.

No brainer; download all the way.

Benefits of getting physical copy: Can get scratched and become useless

Benefits of download: Ease of use, no sales tax, 10% back in eShop credits, won't take up shelf space, External HD ain't gonna fill itself

Red in NA, Blue in other regions.
