KH3D Kingdom Hearts 3D confirmed for digital release on eShop (Update: not happening)

[King Riku 2,063]

Depends. I do not know how download works on eShop, but if it's anything like Steam, it is always tied to your account and you can download it again in case you lose your 3DS. That's the benefit of a downloadable copy compared to a physical copy. You lose the physical copy and you have to buy another one. You lose your 3DS, but you never lose the digital copy...

 

...in theory. As I said, I don't know how downloadable games work. Isn't it tied to the Nintendo Account or something?

 

The only way to connect to your account is through that same 3DS. I don't know if Nintendo could take a look at the account you'd had registered and help you out, but I know it'd take a lot of time and work. If your 3DS ever needs formatted, it's gone. If you drop it, or something happens to the memory, it's gone. You'd have to take extra measures to prevent it.

 

 

im tempted to get the digital copy to avoid tax, but i also really want it in physical copy since i currently dont have any 3DS games.

 

anyone know how much space 3D will take up? would be interesting to see how much space a 3DS cartridge has

 

Depending on where you live, you still pay tax. It will most likely take up a lot of space, another reason I don't like buying digital copies. A 6gb SD card was expensive enough.

i like physical copies of games better for most games, but this is cool, esp if this is a sign that they are making Birth By Sleep a download on PSN so when i get a PS Vita i don't need to keep my PSP just for Birth By Sleep, i would still keep BBS copy, but not the PSP prob

 

and why get the digital copy instead of getting a Physical Copy if you like KH so much that you follow this website, i mean esp for Pre-order bonuses, and Mark of Mastery Edition

D**n x'D now I don't know if I want Mirror of fate and 3D physical

KH3D is a pretty big game I think, it might take up about 2GB+ of space. They did say they were using 4GB cartridges, right?

 

And just because it's on the eshop doesn't make it tax-free. All the games I've bought on the eshop have had tax

[gervanie 12]

i would it want to get this because im getting the MoM edition.

[Sora96 17,256]

I don't like the idea. I would much rather have a physical copy.

 

KH3D would take ages to download plus it would take up your SD card.

[blinxhero 91]

Wait, the whole game? That would take up way too much space on an SD card.

[DG20 67]

I want the demo but I'm not going to get the digital copy. It's like itunes where you can't recover the songs you buy.

[Tsunamo 62]

I wonder if it'll release the same day as the physical release or not.

[VoidXName 346]

people who buy the digital copy aren't real fans /shotshotshot.

[SaixFan98 1]

id like to get the demo but i don't want too many spoilers, so im goin for the real deal (game).

 

 

i agree, now that i think about it, since the game is so amazing , it might take lots of space acording to the demos ive already downloaded.

[Bigbadcloud 12]

it is said the demo comes with flick rush as well and you can battle people online that has the demo as well

[TheKingdomkid 1,194]

so this means you can buy it off the eshop and have it digital on your 3DS...wow cool

Yeah me too, I watched a little of the demo at E3, and literally about 45 seconds into the demo Sora gave some story details away, and I hate myself for watching it

Update: Nintendo added text to the explanation of the slide, to say "refers to first-party titles only" in regards to the dual digital/retail releases. It was just a super misleading slide, then

What could this mean and does this lower our chances of seeing BBS on PSN someday? It's never coming, I know...

[Kinode 3,056]

NOOO BUT WASN'T IT CONFIRMED BEFORE??? Edited July 16, 2012 by Kinode

[Namikaze 654]

History was going to be made with KH series too

[Nohjx 157]

That's not good...I heard a rumour that game companies are trying to go towards downloadable only games (doubt they are planning THAT anymore, got so much crap for it) If that happened I wonder how Disney would go for that....then again that rumour was spread almost 2 years ago..

[rikufan25 170]

FALSE ADVERTISEMENT!!!!! What wrong with Nintendo. Don't matter to me, cause I'm getting the physical one.

Now history repeats itself.

[Pyrrha Nikos 1,162]

I blame Disney for this mislead.

[King Riku 2,063]

What the hell, Nintendo confirmed it! How can they do something like that and call it a slide?

[Kinode 3,056]

Hell no, guys. It was confirmed by NINTENDO at E3. It HAS to come out.

IT HAS TO.

[hatok 6,413]

I blame Disney for this mislead.

 

... what

No seriously. Why would you even think that?

The blame is clearly on Nintendo here.

Nintendo does these kind of things
