It is because no one cares about Digital. It's not an official disk, and therefore gives numerous advantages/disadvantages.

I really don’t know, since it would be the better version to run on. Probably because we started on disc and people want to keep it that way

Well it’s also worth noting that the digital version of NSMBW was only released in Japan and Europe, so playing that version on an American Wii U would require some hacking.

Toogs is very right, there's especially low motivation to go to the trouble of getting VC when theres no competition anyway

I think most people just have the disk, because most people bought the game for their wii

Because of the input delay and difficulty of obtaining the copy, as well as minimal competition

Summary of why people don’t use it

- Not a 100% authentic version of the original disk version

- No competition on leaderboards

- Input Delay

- Asia and Europe exclusive
