The capacity to obtain a digital copy of the popular fighting game on Nintendo’s handheld console allowed users to acquire and play the title without requiring a physical game cartridge. This method of acquisition provided immediate access to the game upon completion of the download process, granted the user had sufficient storage space and a stable internet connection.
Availability of digital distribution through the Nintendo eShop offered several advantages. It provided a convenient alternative for players who preferred not to handle physical media. This also presented a potentially more accessible option in regions where physical game distribution was limited. Further, digital purchases were often linked to a user’s Nintendo account, theoretically permitting re-downloads should the original data be lost or corrupted, subject to Nintendo’s terms of service.
