Another double dose of Virtual Console games are planned for the 3DS eShop tomorrow. Along with Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, Nintendo of America will put up Mole Mania on the digital store.

Mole Mania was originally released for the Game Boy back in 1997. Nintendo EAD and Pax Softnica worked together on the project, and Shigeru Miyamoto played a role in the puzzle title’s development.

We’ll find out about final pricing tomorrow, but it’ll cost $2.99 or $3.99.

It was initially thought that retailers would sell 3DS games similarly for package and download versions. But based on what’s been occurring thus far, shops have been offering the download release at a lower price point.

Here are two “case studies” for New Super Mario Bros. 2:

Joshin Web

– MSRP for the package and download versions: ¥4,800
– Discount available for package version: ¥4,130 (tax-inclusive)
– Discount available for downloadable version: ¥4,580 (tax-inclusive)
– Joshin Web also gives package version buyers more points back (124 points for the package version vs. 46 for the download version)

Furu 1 Online

– ¥4,179 for the package version and ¥4,559 for the download version
– Package buyers get ¥250 worth of points back while download buyers get just ¥46

Not much is different for Onitore. Japanese retailers are setting similar prices for the title.

Consumers will also have the option to purchase downloadable versions of 3DS titles directly from the eShop. Doing so won’t provide consumers with any points back though, and they’ll have to pay the full MSRP.

I’ll just leave this here quickly…
