Do you prefer to buy and own physical or digital copies of 3DS games?
I'm personally on the fence on this topic. A year a ago I'd totally say physical, but now I've been buying more digital games though it really does depend on the game.
When it comes to Pokemon, Animal Crossing and Mario Kart for some weird reason I prefer physical copies. I also prefer physicals for games I'm not sure I'll like, that way I could always sell them later. For example if I ever get Smash Bros 3DS I'll buy it as a physical copy as I've never really played a Smash Bros game before.
Now, as of late I've been preferring digital copies of games, as there's less stuff to lose and lug around, plus I have a huge SD card now that I'll likely never fill. I also find it easier to just snag a game it off the eshop rather than having to physically go out to a store and buy the game, that is if the store even has it, you know the eshop won't ever "run out of copies". I've also found a few deals going digital too such as Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon during cyber deals or Virtual console Super Mario Galaxy 2 for Wii on Wii U. Of course deals for physical copies always exist too.
To be honest gaming is going all digital more and more all the time and will soon only be digital, but there's just something special about having a physical copy.
As you can see I have approx. as many physical as digital games. I also used to own a physical copy of Pokemon Y, but I sold it a few weeks ago.
