New Super Mario Bros. 2

I'm still deciding on if I should get the retail copy or merely download the game. While the download does temporarily award your Club Nintendo account 100 coins, it is flawed in that you can't play it on the other 3DS systems. The game card only offers you 50 coins, but you do get to keep your game data if you switch to a different 3DS system.
 
You just sort of half answered your own question.

Choice #1: Download, Get Points, Only for your 3DS (Not that you need it for another)
Choice #2: Buy, Get a Cover, For any 3DS (Still, you're mostly going to be playing it on your own 3DS, and chances are, your not going to need it 24/7)
 
This game came out this night, in Europe.
Australia has it probably now too, and America is coming in 2 days.
 
It should be.... Maybe 3 days until I get it. I checked the website and it said despatched yesterday. And usually pre-orders only take the minimum ammount of days to arrive.
 
I'm quite sure that the retail copy and the downloadable copy will cost the exact same amount of money.
 
Actually, I think i saw on a video that there's a chance that the download copy may be more expensive. It was Hard News I think.
