You've heard it here first..... or maybe not, but if you haven't read elsewhere it appears that New SMB2 will be priced at $39.99 as a digital download on the eShop.
**7/8 Update: It now has TBD on the eShop. **
Iwata has stated that there wouldn't be much of a difference between digital and retail and now we see there's no difference. Oh wait, that's right, I pre-ordered the retail version for $29.99.
I'm trying to not be too pessimistic, but I hope the digital sales are in good numbers and don't turn Nintendo away from continuing their efforts. I can hear it now: well, we offered the same game in digital form and retail continued to dominate. Of course it did guys. There has to be a balance of convenience vs price vs flexibility in the title not being locked to an account/device and you didn't achieve that...
What do you think of the price and if you were to lower it, what would you suggest? $29, $35, etc.?
