Only 1 and that's because it was free (Pikmin 3). I prefer to own my games because I like to feeling of security. Retro games are purchased in their original form on Ebay.

So I seen an Earthbound cart... 160 dollars. Completely loose too. I frequent the store it's at too (they have Sega Genesis cables coming for me :P). 

Only 2 so far :(

If I wanted that game (I don't), it would be one of the exceptions. I am not paying $150.00 for a freakin' game lol

Lol, I know the feeling. I gave up getting anything retro off ebay. I want DKC 2 (because some ass stole it when I was a kid), but I wasn't going to pay whatever it was at the time. 

However, in comparison, that's a steal when compared to the in box sealed versions! lol 

Because then my normal 3DS would be useless?

I bought games on my original 3DS with a NNID, but at the same time I had a Wii U system with a different NNID (this was before Nintendo allowed you to have the same ID on both consoles). My Wii U account was my primary, so I decided to go with that account on my new 3DS. Thus, I ended up with 2 NNIDs.

And with a physical game, I can pop out a game in my XL and put it in my normal 3DS, which is much more portable, and take it with me on the bus. Then I can come home and put the game in my XL to play on that.

Nintendo would have me do a full system transfer in order to accomplish this digitally. Even with my PSP and Vita, I can a PSP game on my Vita to play at home and at the same time have it downloaded to my PSP for portability. Nintendo does not offer that major convinence. 

I don't see how anyone can defend their utterly archaic digital model.

16 total. I'm REALLY looking at One Piece. Anyone took the plunge? What are your thoughts?

Oh... my god... 

You can transfer NNID with the 3DS transfer tool.... You honestly just gave me a headache...... Most save games are physically on the cart unless you buy full games.... You gah... i give up. Enjoy your problem. 

*sigh*

You don't seem to get what I'm saying at all. I COULD transfer NNID, but then I would be stuck with my lesser used ID on my main 3DS. I used the same ID as my Wii U on my XL since my Wii U NNID is my main one. I didn't want to transfer in case Nintendo does fix their policy, because then I would have all my Wii U games on one account and my 3DS games on another, which is a headache. Instead, I have a different NNID on both my 3DSs. 

And OF COURSE save games are stored on the game cart, but I wasn't referring to physical games, I was referring to digital. Digital game save data is stored on the SD card, which cannot be transferred without doing a full system transfer.

It's a mix of indie titles and publisher titles, as well as a few VC. I think around 20-25 in total.
