@zap-switch There is no physical listed on ANY retail site that I can find. I checked, bestbuy, Gamestop, walmart, Nintendo, Target.... etc., etc. I you know where i can get an actual physical copy of Chocobo GP next please share. It is surely one game I do not want as just a digital. Thank in advance.

@OorWullie Thank you. I didn't think I was going to have to "argue" with someone (@zap-switch) as to whether or not I could buy a physical copy of this game. @zap-switch, just so you know, there is a thing called pre-order, it allows you to "pre-buy" a product before it comes out. I "pre-ordered" both Kirby and Lego Star Wars.
