We’re not exactly sure why you’d want to do this, but Nintendo is making it possible. If you visit Nintendo’s official website and click on any of the upcoming titles, like Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, you’ll be presented with a trailer for the game, as well as the option to find retail stores that will carry it, or you can pre-order the digital version of the game.
This seems like an easy way for Nintendo to start offering pre-orders on their digitally sold games without giving you the benefit of being able to pre-load the game on the console before release date. Perhaps this will pave the way toward that? It’s something Microsoft has allowed with the Xbox One for a few months now.
If you could pre-order a digital title and get all of the downloading out of the way a few days early so that on release date, you’re ready to play the game, would you consider going that route instead of waiting to buy retail?
