Also note that SD cards have to be compatible and do not come cheap either. Long story short, its cheaper to buy them as a physical copy. Downloading these titles from the Nintendo Shop cost £39.99 (£40 really) with the added incentive of an extra 250 star points to use in the Nintendo Club. Second hand games can be anything between £20 - £30 average. The retail price of a 3DS game is £35 +/.
#MARIO KART 7 3DS MB DOWNLOAD#
There is always a chance in the future that I can download the game on my 3DS.Īnother question you need to ask yourself is: "how much is this going to cost me?" I'm thinking of trading in Oot 3D to help me get credit for the Wii U. But if you trade your games in (Gamestation, GAME and so on) for credit then its worth having it as a physical copy. They have to be inside the handheld or carried around incase you want to play it. Physical copies of games do have their pros and cons too. That way it is always accessible when turning on the 3DS. If there are titles that you know and love like OoT 3D then it is worth downloading. I think it comes down to how long you keep your games. Mario Kart 7 still retails for $39.99, and it will for a long time (except for sales and online prices). This problem is compounded by the fact that the MSRP on Nintendo games rarely drop. Nintendo has to keep a good relationship with these large retailers, and they are obligated to sell these games at the same price as big stores do, so that people don't just skip on buying physical releases for a cheaper digital release. Well, in short, they aren't allowed to undercut retailers like Wal-Mart, Target, etc. I can't remember the exact reason for it, but I know hackers have developed tools to delete the dummy memory so they can fit more games on flashcarts.Ģ) To those complaining about the high prices of digital releases (like Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land, etc.) realize that Nintendo is obligated to release these games at high prices? Why? Even if a game is 513 MB, they fill the remaining 511 MB with dummy/junk memory and put the whole thing on a 1 GB cartridge. I see this coming up a lot, so I wanted to mention two things:ġ) With all DS/3DS cartridges, they use cartridges that have 2^n MB of space. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D – 4,096 blocks (512 MB).Hana to Ikimono no Rittai Zukan (3D Encyclopedia of Flora and Fauna) – 8,192 blocks (1 GB).Pilotwings Resort – 1,024 blocks (128 MB).
Mario & Sonic at the London Olympics – 4,096 blocks (512 MB) Animal Crossing: Jump Out – 8,192 blocks (1 GB).Some are bigger than you might expect them to be, such as Animal Crossing: Jump Out and Mario Kart 7, which will each take up 8,192 of your precious blocks. It's good to see Nintendo pushing their retail games as digital downloads, but just how much space will they actually take up on your SD card?Īs you can see below, Nintendo has revealed the file sizes for each of the games that will be made available to Japanese gamers on November 1st. Last week, Nintendo of Japan confirmed during a Nintendo Direct presentation that a list of current 3DS titles would soon be available for download from the Nintendo eShop.
