3DS Shop Update

On the evening of June 6th, Nintendo’s long promised eShop for the 3DS landed. It was packed with a new System Update.
Early adopters for the handheld’s update can download a free copy of Nintendo’s 3D Classics: Excitebike. The offer is only available until July 7th for US players. No word on if the game will be disabled after that date, much like the previously provided Ok Go video.
Available on the eShop out of the box is a collection of DSiWare games, as well as a small selection of Virtual Console titles (3 Game Boy titles, including Super Mario Land). Also released is Pokedex 3D, which appropriately enough, is a 3D Pokedex.
As of this afternoon (June 7th), Nintendo has released 3D trailers of its games presented at E3, as well as The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX for the Virtual Console, to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of the series.
The presentation on the service is attractive, and largely effective. Upon starting the service, players can opt to register their device to a Club Nintendo account. The front page carries links to all needed options, including adding funds, new titles, and even a few flavor categories. Currently, one option is “Games That Start With W”.
It’s hard to give the service a solid review until we see more on how Nintendo chooses to support the service. However, if they can maintain a good update schedule, Nintendo has a great new tool on hand for distribution.
