NSMB2 will be a downloadable game and a hard-copy game-Nintendo is doubling the amount of coins you get for registering if you get the downloadable version.

why would anyone ever want a downloadable version over a hard copy though

Save space if you really don't like lending games. Besides, no matter what happens, your download won't be lost to petty accidents in the real world...unless you overwrote the system's memory.

It's Nintendo's way of saying "Thanks for saving us money by having us make less games" I suppose.

That's makes sense, I suppose. But all it ends up doing for me is taunt me with the double coins because I know I'm going to end up getting the hard copy anyway.

Oh my god I actually agree 100% with Riddler.

Same. I absolutely LOVE having a physical collection of games. I'd much rather hunt down a copy of an old GameBoy era game I wanted to play than emulate it.

I sincerely hope video games never go full digital.



On a side note: Less than a month in, and I'm already Platinum for 2013. Yaaaaaaay. Might as well hold off on registering any more games I get this year so I'll have something for 2014, since at this point I've finally gotten coins for every single eligible product I own.

Won't happen for a long time, even if everyone had fast enough Internet. ISPs throttle and hate heavy-downloaders, the conflict between them and game companies will hold an all-digital future off for a little while longer.

except this is already how phone media works, and mobile data is significantly more expensive and harshly capped and nobody gives a poop.

it would not surprise me in the least if the wii u ends up being the last disc based console.

Apparently Sony looked into download-only for the PS4, but decided against it:

Not sure about Microsoft, but Sony is obviously sticking with it. Maybe if the US were as wired as South Korea it would be viable right now, but too many people have Internet that is too slow.
