Here's something to ponder- download, or cart? I'm generally a firm believer in cart. With games of that size, its probably going to take a good chunk of your SD card unless you've upgraded. If you ditch it, your save data is probably gone. I'd be devastated if the data somehow got corrupted, which is pretty unlikely on a cart, but does depend on the quality of your SD card. A download means you'll probably never find it discounted, and you can't trade the game in for some money when you're done with it.
But... its a title I'd want to always have with me, and downloading it means never having to worry about switching out to the cart to play. I can pick it up the moment it comes out without leaving the house (in theory, though I imagine the server will be stressed for a while.) And that's pretty awesome. Since I got a new SD card space isn't an issue anymore. So I am very tempted. I know its the kind of game I won't want to trade in anyway- I *only* traded in my Animal Crossing DS towards getting the new one, not knowing I'd have to wait this horribly long! Otherwise I would have kept it.

I'd only download games I could never find in stores. Like Starfox, never seems to be available in any stores down here.

Another article about it. We're getting closer at least!
