Yeah was gonna post about this if someone else hasn't, so rediculous. I don't know what Nintendo are thinking.
They're selling the physical version of the game for $49.95 at DickSmith.
This is very bad news to me for Nintendo's digital distribution plan. They are supposedly going to be releasing all first party 3DS and Wii U games as both digital and physical.
but who in the right mind would pay 30% more for the various inconveniences of a digital copy.
Honestly, seeing that ^ in the eShop, it looks like a pricing error to me. I just don't get it.
If you guys want to get it now, and cheaper, follow these instructions but use the German store. $52.

Sounds risky. I wouldn't want to lose my download list with ambassador titles, do you keep your download list?
I don't want to buy it since I'll get the "Gold Coin Edition" with the plastic coin game case with the physical game for $50, but just asking for future reference.
Apparently that's the RRP that Nintendo sets, and they aren't allowed to sell it for less than that else they'll undercut their retailers selling the physical copies.
The retailers would be totally pissed off it Nintendo sold it for the same as they were.
I swear I've seen games cheaper on PSN than instores though...
