Well now that i've given the thought process on it more thought I don't know which I'd end up purchasing for the freebie....I mean i want the zelda for it's cib'ness but game and wario maybe. *Sigh* why couldn't they have given us the physical edition for free? :?

You could always pick the digital version to play and then buy a physical version to keep sealed...

I understand. But there's not wrong with having a digital and physical copy. You can always buy a physical copy later, and chances are you'll find it eventually for very cheap. You should just pick what you want to play the most ... and if you don't go by that, go with what would cost you the most right now.

I have a lot of digital duplicates of physical games, mostly on PC. But it's not a completely crazy thing to do. What would be crazy is paying full price for both.

Well that's the sad thing I would play almost all of those to be honest, and want to play them all a lot....especially if game and wario is anything like the warioware titles...always enjoyed playing the demos of those...

Well, if you're looking at it as a U.S. purchase, Game and Wario isn't even a selection.

me again, here with your regular dosage of gloom and doom:

http://kotaku.com/nintendo-reports-a-lo ... 1572841102

The Wii U has sold ~6 million units worldwide since November 2012. The PS4 has already outsold it (~7 million), and the Xbox One is more than half way to the Wii U's numbers (with ~5 million shipped to retailers).

By comparison, the Gamecube sold about ten million units in the same timeframe. The Wii sold about 25 million units in the same timeframe.

I think that very soon the question must shift from "why would third parties continue to develop games for the Wii U?" to "Why would Nintendo continue to develop games for the Wii U?"
