Shack PSA: 3DS first-party hits out now download
by Steve Watts, Oct 18, 2012 4:00pm PDTNintendo kicked off its initiative of offering full retail games for download with New Super Mario Bros 2. With that goal accomplished, the company has moved into offering its backlog, with a large eShop update that offers some of its most popular retail 3DS games for digital purchase.
As promised, the 3DS eShop added Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, and Star Fox 64 3D. Each costs the standard retail price of $39.99. These are all first-party games, but the company promises that it will continue to add "select Nintendo 3DS software that is currently available at retail stores." That sounds like it's open to adding more third-party content, but the company didn't detail any criteria for qualifying.
Several of the company's upcoming slate of games will be offered digitally as well, and Nintendo has offered a rare Donkey Kong game as incentive to buy them through the eShop. Nintendo similarly plans to offer full games on the Wii U, once it launches.

Nintendo has put up some of its first-party 3DS titles on the eShop today, as it continues its efforts to offer select parts of the library as digital downloads.

The games that were released today(?) on the eShop, how long ago were they released and how much do they want for them?
Look at the Vita, most digital games are $5 less (if you don't factor in their memory cards) compared to the physical copies. I picked up Hot Shots Golf at Frys for less than digital. I just hope Nintendo doesn't plan on keeping their prices static as time goes on. Amazon will net you better deals than the eShop. And don't get me started on their lack of eshop account. Pffftb!
