Edit: More seriously, though, any indications of what titles, when, and how much they're charging? I feel like the eShop would be a good home for titles that aren't stocked at retail any more, so long as they bring down the prices a bit.

Edit 2: Good lineup. Hopefully they do the same in Europe and allow me to get OoT and Starfox 64 for cheap.

Seemed like an obvious decision but I was getting worried because they hadn't said anything yet and....Nintendo.

Am I crazy for wanting so sell my physical copy of MK7 so I can download it? I like having my boxes, but I also no I will never sell the game and having it always on the 3DS is just convenient....

It's becoming ever more imperative that Nintendo implement an account system. Losing full retail games would be a major bummer...

Yessssssss

Can't tell because I don't speak Japanese but you can transfer the save right?

what a barrage, Nintendo

hongcha · (10-03-2012, 01:24 AM)

Will they be cheaper, or MSRP? If the latter, forget about it.

Transferring saves would be nice but I don't see how they could do it. Don't those games keep their save files on the cartridge?

Oni Link 666 · (10-03-2012, 01:25 AM)

At $39.99. :D

shadyspace · (10-03-2012, 01:25 AM)

Man having SM3DL installed on my 3DS would be fuckin' killer.

Iwata is so awesome, can we get an Iwata tamagotchi?

It's like the NSMB2 DLC one made them realize they can just pop out a chotto direct whenever they feel like it and get attention.

Electivirus · (10-03-2012, 01:26 AM)

Digital Mario Kart 7? DIGITAL MARIO KART 7.

I'd guess the latter.

I think they figured it out a while ago haha.

Snowden's Secret · (10-03-2012, 01:26 AM)

I would rebuy MK7 just to have easier access to Street Pass.

Coldplay619 · (10-03-2012, 01:27 AM)

Maybe this is why the European eshop is going down D:

BY2K · (10-03-2012, 01:27 AM)

So I'm guessing digital sales are working, heh?

Ken Masters · (10-03-2012, 01:28 AM)

digital mario kart would be nice to have on system at all times

Kazerei · 01:30 AM

New 3DS XL design for Animal Crossing? I didn't understand what he was saying, but it looks cute.

Edit: oh wait, I'm 20 mins too late

That and it seems from the presentation that we'll finally be getting the web version of the eshop.

You'd lose your save data, though. I mean, unless you love it enough to re-complete everything...

Meelow · (10-03-2012, 01:28 AM)

I didn't even know a new Nintendo Direct happened today.

Happy about this news.

Boney · (10-03-2012, 01:29 AM)

Steel Diverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

And they're not even giving heads ups on the Nintendo Directs anymore lol

Eusis · (10-03-2012, 01:29 AM)

I haven't gotten Mario Kart 7 yet, this is probably a great way to get it. Depends on sales and whatnot I guess though.

Videos were released about 30 minutes ago lol. We get no warning about these things now.

They're releasing Nintendo Direct Minis now. They're just like 5 or 10 minute long videos like they did for NSMB2 DLC last week.

Scum · (10-03-2012, 01:31 AM)

How much was that 128GB SD card again? :P

BassForever · (10-03-2012, 01:31 AM)

Might rebuy MK7 for digital copy to make multiplayer/online easier to do

MisterHero · (10-03-2012, 01:31 AM)

This is as good a thread to ask as any:

For people who've bought a retail game digitally, does that game have a digital equivalent to an instruction manual, etc.?

Last 'figures' were 20% of Concentration Training and 5% of NSMB2 were DD.
Not bad, for a start.

Pretty much all 3DS games come with a digital instruction manual, no? DD games included.

Given that the Mario Kart 7 save data is locked to the cart, I couldn't imagine doing it. It'd be something I'd really want however.

Part of the video displays something transferring from the cart to the SD card, which tells me that a tool or another update for MK7 will allow it to be stored on the card and, therefore, transferable.

Huh, really?

If that's the case we might finally find out whether the 3DS is getting an eShop account system or not. Or one that is actually visible to the consumer, since accounts technically already exist but there's no permanent, viewable online record of all your eShop purchases.

@MUWANdo · (10-03-2012, 01:35 AM)

No Kid Icarus?

topplehat · (10-03-2012, 01:35 AM)

Hope saves can transfer, would love digital MK7.

Hobby · 01:37 AM

The ??? one is 花といきもの立体図鑑. Or, Hana to Ikimono no Rittai Zukan (A 3D Illustrated Guide to Flowers and Living things).

Leflus · (10-03-2012, 01:35 AM)

It's about time they unveiled more retail games for the eShop.

I already own Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land and Ocarina of Time, so I won't buy them unless they're really cheap(lol). I might buy Starfox though.

Scum · (10-03-2012, 01:36 AM)

All we need now are older SNES titles and my wish for Secret of Evermore and Terranigma will be granted.

Thanks. Updated OP

so when is this coming to NA? ;(
I'd buy Mario Tennis digitally

OK, yeah, it does. Huh! Well I'll be damned, Nintendo.

Jonnyram · (10-03-2012, 01:36 AM)

Saves will be transferrable.
Nintendo is currently making a tool that will allow transferring saves from the cart to the SD card.
But this tool will not be available until Spring next year, so please hold tight!

I hope that's the case. Like everyone posting, I would love to have MK7 on my menu at all times. I play NSMB2 constantly for quick 5-minute sessions because it's right there, and I've been meaning to get back into MK7 after a lull.

But what is the likely net "digital upgrade" price after factoring in selling your retail copy? What will MK7 get you at the usual places, 25-30ish? I have no reference point.

The website will probably just give you a code. I wouldn't expect 3DS eShop accounts until after Wii U and Miiverse integration.
