"Apparently, beginning next year’s spring, Nintendo 3DS users will be able to convert their physical games’ saved data to the downloadable versions if they also purchase the games via the Nintendo eShop. For example, if you own a physical game card of Mario Kart 7, you can transfer all its saved data, including unlocked characters and courses, to your Nintendo 3DS’ SD card, which means you’ll no longer have to carry the game’s cartridge along with your handheld."

This news to me is mind blowing, and with this, I can trade in my cartridges now problem now that I can just download them. I could even buy a new game, say Fire Emblem Awakening, and return it the next day because I downloaded the cartridge. So this news seems big to me and let's hope it comes by this holiday season.

That's one stupid move for Nintendo again. Unless you're real stupid and lazy to snap a cartridge in and out, it's not even worth paying another $39.99.

Yep. You have to buy both the downloadable and retail.

You seriously thought you would get away with Nintendo's money? Nope. @Rene321

Thats the best idea ever from Nintendo! I buy the downloudabele version. Next, I transfer the save data. Then I sell the cartridge for the same price, as the donwnloudable version. I lose no money, and I have the save game on my downloadable version. Thats good.

I play Manic Digger, a free clone of Minecraft.
I have a Server too: Nisc3d's Survivaltown.
It's the perfect alternate of Minecraft, if you can't buy it or whatever.
