New Super Mario Bros. 2, a game that was
announced last week has now gained some more intrigue from the gaming community. Eagle-eyed gamers will have seen that NSMB2 has been classified as both a eShop title and a retail title. New information has been released that shows that Nintendo plans to give consumers a choice as to if they want to purchase retail or digital.
This information comes from the latest investor meeting as Satoru Iwata confirmed this to be the plan in which Nintendo is taking. They plan to also allow retailers to stock 16 digit codes which will give consumers that option of purchase. Some flaws perhaps is that Nintendo plans on making the game only available to the system it was purchased on, so if your 3DS is lost or broken you cannot transfer your games to a new system. Also there are no plans on different prices between retail and digital games, something some people thought since there would be no packaging or as many overhead costs. However, all this news may prove that Nintendo is taking serious action in making an online platform for the 3DS and the upcoming Wii U.
