Older 3DS games getting E-Shop releases.

This arguement all Makes 100% perfect sense but if its so doomed to fail why is steam making booming Bussiness on presales on games that cost the same On the shelf? look at cod blops 3, xcom etc.. selling millions before the games are even out For full ticket on steam...

I see no problem with this though I would rather go buy myself a hard copy.

Weren't they going to sell redeemable codes for digital copies in retail? I'd assume that those copies would be cheaper than the ones available directly from Nintendo in an attempt to still support retailers and their business.

The Vita (if, IF it goes the way of the PSP) will need digital distribution as it is already becoming hard to find games- I had to get Gravity Rush via download as even dedicated game stores had no physical copies in it's first 2 weeks. The 3DS is slowly encroaching on DS game's turf in most outlets so the necessity for Nintendo to make a cheap and easy online store is not as strong.

PSN rip you off as well, £39.99 for a game you can get for £25 online or in HMV. Nintendo needs a 3dsplus scheme to get us some money off
