@skywake: There are people who buy physical games twice, same goes for amiibo; one to look at and one to play with.

I have Wii Party U physically and digitally. This is because I had all the free games that came with Mario Kart 8 already and picked Wii Pary U digitally just to be able to play gamepad baseball with out needing to put the disc in. Plus I have 2 Wii U's, one at my house and one at my ex's house for the kids to play when they are there.

I don't have enough disk space on my Wii U and am not quite sure what kind of external HDD to buy (nor do I have the cash to spend) so I bought the games physically. I have Mario Kart 8, Bayonetta 2 (and 1), Mario Party 10, and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. My 32 GB Wii U came with two pre-installed games: Super Mario 3D World and Nintendo Land. I am also unsure about the space that would be taken up by the DLC of those games so I bought discs. I was thinking of buying Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker and Splatoon digitally.

The only game I've ever done this with is Xenoblade Chronicles (ish). I got the N3DS version and then the WiiU eshop version.
That was mostly just wanting to be able to play it on a massive TV occasionally. Stuff like the Bionis' Leg is kinda wasted on a handheld.

Physical:
Super Smash Bros Wii U
Wonderful 101
Bayonetta
Bayonetta 2

Digital:
Donkey Kong Country Returns Tropical Freeze
Resident Evil Revelations
Child of Light
Guacamelee
And one more I'm sure I'm forgetting

Not a big list, but lack of money and the fact that most of the games I want are still pricey kind of leaves me with little options

EDIT: I see we're only including retail games

Because not only did I write down a flow chart but I also refused to use the term "go to"?

Some playlists: Top All Time Songs, Top Last Year

I noticed Disney infinity 2.0 digital price went down. I am going to download that so I can have all 3 DI games installed rather than having any on disc. It will free up my Disc Drive for a few other games.

People keep saying the Xbox One doesn't have Backwards Compatibility.
I don't think they know what Backwards Compatibility means...
