Here’s some disturbing news about New Super Mario Bros. 2 and Demon Training, the first full 3DS games that will be offered through the eShop: in Japan, some online retailers are actually charging more for the downloadable versions’ code cards than for retail copies (both versions are discounted, but the physical editions more so)!

I expected that U.S. stores would be stingy and attempt to sell download cards for close to the physical copies’ price, but this is some straight up tomfoolery.

Preorder: New Super Mario Bros. 2 (August 19)
