All the revealed games so far are said to be "downloaded" from the store. Does that mean that Nintendo is no longer going to sell games at stores and just sell them on the Online DS Store?

Or is it just certain games?

Dunno, but I hate the direction of DD for consoles. For PC I don't care, but consoles it's always nice to pull out of the closet and play years down the road while looking through the box art etc.

They're still using a physical format, and I'd imagine most releases will be in store. Maybe they'll have the option to also download them? But if they go that route they need to completely overhaul their idea of what a DD store is.

I actually would prefer download only, as long as we can download on multiple systems with one account, have a good sizeable hard drive, and a similar system like the PSP and PSN has. I hate carrying around so many small little carts all the time so to have them all on one memory stick or internal hard drive would be so awesome and convenient.

If you could provide a source for that information because I have not heard anything about that. Based on what we've heard/seen and people have suggested pre-E3, most of the game should be on cartridge not download. A few games (like remakes) may be downloads, but any new titles are likely going to be physical like they always do.

Dunno, just may be or use your own DS games.
