NSMB 2 or eShop Games?

Hi all, I got $20 in eShop credit, and I was wondering if I should save it for NSMB 2 or buy some games on the eShop. I was really looking forward to NSMB 2 a few months ago, but I've heard that it's short, in games I look for many hours of gameplay to keep me busy.

Can I have some opinions?

NSMB2!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, for $6 you can't go wrong with The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX. So far I'm about 16 hours in and just over halfway through. So it does last for some time, especially considering the price. NSMB 2 is good too, but not the best choice if you want a long game.

I'm afraid you don't have enough money for New Super Mario Brothers 2...NSMB2 starts at $40 in america, both on the eShop and @ retail...

I know, I'll buy another card.

Do eShop games offer a lot of gameplay? I've been waiting for Pushmo to be game of the weekend for ages.

Tough desision... Try getting The Legend of Zelda: Links Awaking DX, Then save for NSMB2

Alright, I think I'll just hold it for a week, grab another card, and buy NSMB 2. I kind of wanted hard copy, but at least you get more Club Nintendo coins with digital.

Well that's easy, get Legend of Zelda, and The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening DX version.

Well I would say get New Super Mario Bros 2 because it's a mario game and you can't go wrong with mario. Despite the fact that it is short it will still be a great game! You will be able to buy loads of eshops games than just one mario game however in my opinion eshop games are not really worth it, because every time I buy a eshop game I really just play some once, a couple of times then go it's not that they are that short they are not that addicting compared to a full game. Hope this helped.

I rather get a new 3DS game than get an E'shop game.

Same with me. That's why I said get NSMB2.

Me too, but I'd rather have the physical copy.

True, especially when your SDcard READER stops working (like me).

That would just be a pain, imagine you have like 10 games on your SD card THEN IT STOPS WORKING.

Yeah, I buy games from the eShop, and physical copies. No downloadable versions for me.

Yea, my 20 Ambassador games.

Well yeah but I mean big games like NSMB2 etc.

I know what you mean.

Ok and 20 Ambassador games aren't really a big thing for me, I hardly play them.

But I beat all my 20 ambassador games before the SDcard READER died.
