Digital or Retail?

I just bought and installed a 32gb SDHC memory card in my 3DS ( for $20 dollars by the way, Sony, are you listening? )

Anyway, i am having a hard time committing to downloading games that i can buy retail. I just preordered Fire Emblem, Castlevania and Luigis Mansion from Amazon, but i could just simply download them from the Nintendo e-store when the time comes. How will i ever fill up this memory card if i never download games, lol. I think part of the problem for me is that not all games are available on the e-store. I have Resident Evil Revelations and Kingdom Hearts on my shelf so i feel like i want to have a collection. Now i have to consider whether or not to split up my game library with physical or digital copies. Its easier for me on the "other " handheld system because ALL the games are available for digital download, so i have no problem filling up a 32 gig memeory card. Gahhh...what to do...?

i buy both...

if its an online game ..i buy digital so that i can play that game anytime i want without taking the singleplayer game i am currently playing from the system..

if its a singleplayer game with no online or online that i will never use then i buy it retail.

my bad...

just saw this was the 3ds forum...i thought it was the wiiU forum...

yea its hard to fill a 32 card on 3ds...virtual console takes up no space....i guess buying eshop games and the occasional game will do for 3ds..

i already bought mario kart digital and a crossword game to get that free donkey kong game.

I buy retail becasue you can always find the game for cheaper than they charge on the eshop.

For whatever stupid reason, the retail games on 3DS are cheaper than digital.

Retail. Always retail. 

I'll have a physical copy of the game that's likely cheaper than the download version, and I can do whatever I want with it, including selling it and lending it...

Also, going to gamestop to pick up Fire Emblem is going to be a lot faster than downloading it. :P

Retail only, I collect games and I enjoy having a physical case. I will of course get things that are digital only too. YoshiYogurt

Ditto. I prefer buying the actual copies of the game. But I do download the Virtual Console, 3D Classics & few Pokemon games & I did download the Paper Mario Sticker Star just so I can get the exclusive Donkey Kong game (although I did bought the original copy, its untouch & unused).

Perhaps, but I'm a video game collector so it doesn't phase me.
