Not only that. In South America, it is impossible to legally purchase digital Nintendo games. The only options are: overpriced physical copies (like, 2 or 3 times the original value), or create a US account (so, lying in the personal data) and buy prepaid cards online (also severely overpriced).
For some people, piracy is the only option.
I got it, but just because I got the base game for free a few years ago.
I think the compatibility with the adaptive triggers and faster loading times alone make it worthwhile, but again, I got the base game for free.
