Nintendo’s Japanese division has officially announced the sale of downloadable 3DS retail titles. Starting on July 28, consumers can buy New Super Mario Bros. 2 (4,800 yen) and Onitore (3,800 yen) as digital releases.

Three options are available for such purchases:

1. 3DS owners can pick up a download card from retailers and then apply it on the eShop
2. Purchase a download code from online shops and then redeem it on the eShop
3. Make a purchase on the eShop directly

Those who download New Super Mario Bros. 2 or Onitore will receive a few bonuses.

If the purchase is made before September 2, consumers will receive “Donkey Kong Original Edition” through Club Nintendo. The Pie Factory stage is included in the title. Club Nintendo members will also be rewarded with twice the amount of points for their game registrations and an extra twenty points if both New Super Mario Bros. 2 and Onitore are downloaded.
