New Super Mario Bros. 2 won't just be coming to retail stores in August, it will also be coming to the eShop as a download. Additionally, the ability to download full games will be available at the launch of the Wii U. The news came out of Nintendo's end-of-the-year investors' meeting in Japan.
Part of the logic behind this move, according to Nintendo's Satoru Iwata, is that game life is getting shorter, and this offers a place for games to be available past their retail shelf life. Retail stores will also sell download codes, and as such, Iwata doesn't expect a big price disparity between retail and download.
Wii U will be out worldwide by the end of 2012, and according to the same report, price details won't be announced at E3 2012.
New Super Mario Bros. 2, revealed last week, is scheduled for an August release. We reported earlier today that it seemed like Nintendo would be offering full retail releases soon, and it looks like they are.
The 8 GB SD card I've got in my 3DS feels more justified now.

It will probably feel quite inadequate pretty soon.
If all of this is true everyone may wanna invest in a 32 GB SD card, (or higher), for their 3DS.
Wow. That's...just about the lowest of the low. I could understand HD console games, but Nintendo? Have they no soul? :P:
Well, considering it will probably be mostly flash storage...invest in a really nice SD card?
At the very least, have 16 GB of flash memory, with ability to expand that by allowing USB external HDD and SD slot(s). That would be the most ideal in my book.
Doesn't Microsoft force you to by their brand of HDD's at a premium? I know that Sony allows you to install your own and even comes with instructions on how to do so.I remember reading that the original 360's HDD is pretty much just a standard HDD within that large shell over it and that you can take it apart and put your own in there but it needs to be in the shell because the port is proprietary. Don't take my word for it because I can't support the validity of that claim. However, I know for sure that the slim 360 uses a regular HDD housed in a plastic shell but you can just plug a regular HDD in there without the shell since it uses standard SATA (unless you insist on removing the shell and putting it on the new HDD yourself so it looks nice). You just have to format the HDD first.
