Yup, I'd never get a digital game as long as there is a retail version of it.

I wanted to get it digital with instant access, but no room. Oh well, the disk will practically live in my WiiU anyway.

The gamepad just sent me a notification about this, first time I've heard one live!

hmm 11.6GB is a lot. This will probably fill up my Wii U's memory.

Sometimes I get those notification things in the middle of the night when I'm asleep. I'm not sure why. 

Nintendo Life are reporting the total size file for Smash as 17.2GB: http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2014/11/super_smash_bros_for_wii_u_pre_purchase_and_pre_load_now_available_on_the_eshop

I sleep like a log, so wouldn't hear it, although over here I think they've been mainly sent during working hours.

Edit: OK, as RobDX said, my time frame was set between 9-21.

yeah I'm preloading this bad boy! I need this game always on my wiiu

@mohasanie you can set a time frame for when you want to receive the notifications on the system settings

16 Gb on PAL systems. I think due to more languages. (At last we getting AAA Nintendo games with Russian translation!!!)

New record; this is officially Nintendo's biggest game to date, beating out previous crown-holder Tropical Freeze , which weighed in at 11.4GB.
