Wow, seems Nintendo is finally getting with things now. Although I much prefer the psychical copy, it is nice that Nintendo are listening.

 

From November 1st, Japanese 3DS owners will be able to download copies of Mario Tennis Open, Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games, Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land, Star Fox 64 3D, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D and Pilotwings Resort.

This is great news to hear.

I personally prefer physical copies but downloading games is pretty much how it's done nowadays.

*wishes she had a japanese 3DS* This really is good to hear! 8D Although I prefer to have a physical copy, instead of a downloadable game.

I feel like those games just came out.

 

What about all the old DS that are hard as hell to find (looking at you TWEWY)

 

Or better yet old GBA games.

 

Or even better yet, old GB and GBC games.

 

Come on nintendo, really listen to your fans. Do you know how much money you'd make off the older pokemon games? A lot. SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY.

Then buy the games and turn them into roms yourself. It saves a lot of space.

...R-really? That's the whole issue I'm having.

You cannot find physical copies of older GB/GBC/GBA games for any sort of reasonable price offline, and they aren't carried in stores.

A glimmer of hope.

 

Apparently, Nintendo are also releasing something to transfer data between physical and digital copies, for those who want to make the switch.

Oh man, I'd love to see Pokemon in the eShop. I'd buy all of them in a heartbeat o.o

 

Yeah, that's what I tried to say.

 

Too bad the only three titles that article named were "Super Mario Ball, Mario Golf Advance Tour, and Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga" nothing I really care about.

That's a great game- my brother's going to be so happy about that.

Hence why I said "Nothing I care about." xP

 

Glad your brother will be excited, though.

I wonder if they'll lower the price for digital copies, since they won't have to deal with the cost of manufacturing? Probably not, but it'd sure be nice if they did!

 

On a side note, I also prefer physical copies over digital ones. I've lost far too many digital files in my lifetime to feel comfortable in relying on a memory stick to hold a $39 game purchase!

I have no preference, but I find that it's just as easy to lose physical copies too.

Really? Luckily I haven't had that happen yet. :) I also haven't had an issue with games that I've downloaded (but I've only been at it for about a year), but I've had a heck of a time with my camera's memory sticks. They become no longer readable overtime, though I'm really not sure why... It's not like they're being manhandled...er, exactly, hehe.

Two days ago, I found my Mario Kart 7 game in the back of a drawer of scissors, screwdrivers, tape, and other random tools. I don't know either.

Aw, poor Mario Kart 7... I wonder what it did to deserve winding up there. :P

That's why I haven't lost any gamecube games. Doesn't work well with portable games for me. Also, I didn't put it there. I think my dad did that.
