With the choice between a solid game and downloading it off the eShop, how are you gonna buy it and why?

The physical version would take about a week or two to arrive where I live, and I'm too hyped too wait that much. I'm gonna go with digital.

I'm also going with digital, there's nowhere near my place that has stores specifically focused on gaming.

So yeah, I'm going digital.

That's a shame that you have to do that. At least you'll have the game though.

Nice avatar by the way... I wonder how long it took to make that. The moment the TV spot aired maybe?

I'm usually a physical copy guy, but I see myself taking Smash 4 everywhere so I'd rather just go digital. I made the mistake of going physical with New Leaf, never again.

I'm getting a hard copy mostly because the new 3ds is coming out. And I don't want to rebuy it just for the :GCCN:

The reason I am getting digital is because I really don't want to have to worry about keeping up with a solid game. I'd be destroyed if I lost Smash 4.

Yeah. Its connected to your nintendo account so I would wager to assume that it works like steam and their games.

Usually I prefer having a physical copy since I can lend it to my friends, plus having the box is kinda nice -- but having Smash always on my 3DS is a plus as well, so I don't mind that much.

(pretty much made the avatar just as the commercial aired, yes)

Physical Copy, plain and simple. I do not want to risk my 3DS bugging out and deleting everything (because it happened with my Four Swords Anniversary Edition, and I never got it back). It's also to find out if my brother steals the game and I can get it back.

Definitely a physical copy. I never buy digital copies. I feel it is a lot more satisfying to have it be something you can hold in your hands. And luckily, I've never really had a problem with not being able to find my games, since I keep them all in a place where I won't lose them.

Physical, I don't want to risk losing another game to data corruption.

Yeah, although from where I live it'll have to take a week to ship... I'm totally getting the physical copy because you just need to look at that box in all of its glory :colorful:

Not that you'd ever want to sell it, but a physical copy retains its resale value.

Ordered a hard copy, figured there might not be a midnight release since Gamestop's been silent about it, decided I like digital more anyway (so I can keep Bravely Default or Zelda in the slot but still have the other games easy without lugging them around), so I'm getting both. Will probably let friends without the game use the hard copy.

Digital plan to get it the moment it comes out at midnight and pull an all nighter.

Gamestop Midnight release for me. Luckily, the closest Gamestop to me is just a block away and I already have the preorder.

I have preordered from Amazon UK, since I'm IN the UK. I remember preordering GTA V from them last year, and it arrived at 8:30am of the release day, so I'm hoping that they'll be as punctual with Smash 3DS! (or maybe even the day before!!)
