I got a physical copy 2 days before European Release date, because the Download price is shucking awful in the UK. eShop's £39.99 vs Retail's/Online £29.99. The only incentive for the eShop version is to be awarded with double virtual currency on a Nintendo Website. Japan's was better as it was Donkey Kong Anniversary edition, basically all 4 levels in NES 8-bit style that includes the factory level.

The other benefits of a retail copy is to create actual backup saves with the Nintendo DS Adapter+ device and a decent boxart.

ok since I couldnt find a ride to the nearest gaming store I just bought a Visa gift card from Sobeys (which is like a 3min bike ride from my house so I was like whatever)....

so I activated the card,went to eshop made a $50 card setup blah blah blah....

and at the end it said "card cannot be used" so I checked my cards account on Visa's website and it said:

08/24/2012   08/24/2012   Value Load - A2A - BLACKHAWK NETWORK (BHN)   Can$50.00

- PENDING TRANSACTIONS -

08/25/2012      Purchase - NINTENDO DIGITAL GAMES 800-255-3700 CA   (Can$50.00)

with $0.00 on my card...WTH DO I DO NOW!!!!!?!?! the transaction cant be cancelled either....

the very same thing happened to me. i had to wait a month for the transaction to be automatically deleted. that sucked a lot.

i'll be buying physical whenever possible unless it is a game i want a second copy.

I downloaded because I'm a Club Nintendo points whore.  May make platinum for the first time thanks in part to this.
