Wait a minute...does Nintendo do this? I don't remember seeing the same mario vc games on both systems....
Also, I am looking forward to the real GOW sequel being announced at E3 for Vita!!!

Yes. You have to rebuy each game for each system.
If you remember, the ambassador games were NES and GBA games. Later, NES games like SMB, Metroid, and Punch Out have started being released as VC games on the eShop.
That was an example. The game title doesn't matter. My point was that Nintendo's current pricing/download model would do exactly that. Charge you twice for the same ROM to play it on two systems.

I read the reply wrong. I skipped on the 3DS at launch and waiting for a revision before buying mine. I've also stayed away from the VC when I found out that you couldn't do Wii-Wii transfer of titles on a user level. Hey, if they do this with the WiiU, that will be great. They can finally join 2005 when the 360 had it.
Correct me if I'm wrong though if you buy content through the 3DS and the system is lost then you buy a new one... you are still screwed out of all your content... correct? Or can you redownload everything you bought previously like you can on PSN and XBL?

Just because Nintendo's laughably outdated doesn't mean you should be. You didn't read anything wrong, you were just flat out ignorant on the subject and stepped right in it.
As far as recovering digital content, provided you link everything to a Club Nintendo account, Nintendo will allow you to get it back in case of loss/theft/destruction. With DSi and Wii you'd need to send a system to them, I'm not sure if 3DS is the same or they just open the download up from their end. They'll be instituting an XBL/SEN-like account system this year in preparation for their 3DS digitial shift and Wii U launch though, so this should be even less of an issue.

Oh, I totally missed that, that's pretty neat for it to download automatically. I hope we can do the same for DD retail releases.
