That is all? I wonder if the game is going to have little content. Maybe they are going to sell DLC though.

Mario 3D World was only 1.7GB  and that had plenty of content.

I hope so for your sake and fellow gamers who opt for a digital experience. Lets hope they also do cloud saving too (they don't do that yet do they?).

Nope, not yet. Again... they are always late, lol.

Physical but kudos for nintendo's black magic of data compression.

Tell me about it, Mario Kart Wii was 2.6GB, MK8 isn't even double that despite the massive graphics difference.

I wish other publishers would do that, I really hate downloading 50GB games to my PS4/XBO. 

How big are the hard drives on PS4/Xbone?

500GB, they fill up fast if you want to go all digital. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Physical for me. I prefer digital on games that I know I will never sell, and physical for games that will potentially get usurped and made obsolete by sequels one day.

Hardly little.

Nintendo is just good a memory compression.

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


That's not really true.

Wii U discs are (physically) identical to Blu Ray Discs and those can't really be scratched.

I'm getting it digitally cause I won't have a choice, otherwise I'd get the physical copy. Oh well, at least I'll get $5 eshop credit from that promotion.
