@DePapier no, if you already have a retail game you can buy the game on the eshop for the normal price if it's available for download and transfer the saves over to it. The saves will be deleted from the cartridge and any save already on the system (from the download) will be overwritten. It allows you to switch your game library to digital without starting over with every game.

I only bought VLR off the eshop because it meant getting it months earlier than retail (only just came out here). That was worth paying the 10€ extra. But I'm not buying a full retail game digitally from Nintendo again until I can be sure I won't lose everything if something happens to my system. I wouldn't mind the 5€ extra on normal retail games if I knew I could redownload on any system with my profile on it. I mean just let me have a profile on one system at a time, that would be enough.
There's also no Club Nintendo in my country so getting back any of my VC, 3ds ware or retail downloads would probably be impossible. I stopped taking it with me for streetpasses, partly for fear of losing it or it getting stolen.

Wonder what Streefighter will be. If they charge more than 15€ they're mad because you can get it for that basically everywhere since last summer.

@6ch6ris6 They're selling each game for the rrp and 45€ is the rrp for normal 3DS games ;(

I planned on buying Luigis Mansion and maybe Layton digitally before the first games came out. Then I saw that they are 45€ which is the price you pay if you buy them from a stupid electronics retailer. Every game shop or Amazon sells them for 40 or less. I'm not paying more and getting less, no way, especially for an older game like these. At least I don't need to buy a bigger SD card now.

Dammit, nintendo.de also shows 2013. I hate you Nintendo, I really hate you right now.

It's out in November https://www.facebook.com/notes/rising-star-games/rising-star-games-announces-autumn-assortment/10151372178168636
