I can't wait to have some more games to play on this thing.
Really hoping we don't have to wait too long to get some NES/SNES games as well...

Iwata reiterated that the store is coming in late May this morning. What I'm expecting is, Monday May 30th or Tuesday May 31. I think it'll be more than just the E-Shop launching on this day though. Remember that WiiWare and DSiWare will also ditch the points system and I'm thinking that will happen on the same day. I'm also kind of expecting the Wii Shop and Nintendo channel to be merged into 1 channel on the same day. Maybe they can put some E3 video teasers on there too.

It's not true. They aren't changing anything with Wii or DSi.Father_Brain said:
And for those wondering exactly when the update is coming, the latest Iwata said is "around the end of May". Those are the exact words from the official English translation of the Financial Results Briefing earlier today/yesterday (whenever it happened).

I think the launch of the E-shop is going to be a big deal. It's more than just a shop. It's the Nintendo channel and the shop together. That's demos, videos, Virtual Console, and 3DS Ware in the same channel. And then there's the transfer software and the browser which I'm thinking will be released on the same day.

Maybe trying to raise franchise awareness before announcing a new installment...

I'm sure many people have. Samurai Warriors isnt out here in the UK, but I've finished Ghost Recon, got three stars on each mission on Pilotwings (perfected half) and I've also completely finished Super Monkey Ball and done a huge amount of leagues on PES 2011.
Unless you're being sarcastic, because it really failed hard. I've played my 3DS absolutely loads, yet I'm still eager/desperate for more.

Agreed. I'll purchase Link's Awakening DX on day one. The sooner the better.

Wouldn't it launch on a Monday?
So that would be the 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30th.

Wow, didn't even know that.
Then again, this time around I will have to endure the PAL-land curse if it's anything like Wii VC.
Holy Order Sol said:
Not really. The PAL versions on the Wii Virtual Console are the same horribly crippled poor framerate originals with massive borders, while the USA and Japan got their full frame awesome versions.
With the GBA and GBC, the games were pretty much identical, no matter the region (obviously due to it being a handheld and not a console linked to a TV).

i love nintendo and own a 3ds, but i get the feeling that this is their way of saying the only game available to purchase at the eshop's launch will be excitebike.

We already know that isn't true.
We know a few Game Gear games will be up, as well as the Megman Legends 3 Prequel.

It would be cool if Nintendo did this with all of their early B-list titles.
-Gyromite
-Balloon Fight
-Ice Climbers
-Kid Icarus
-Kung Fu
Just to name a few.
There are many gamers who weren't around when these first came out and providing them for free could spark interest or even demand for an updated resurrection for many of them.

I wonder what the prices will be though. That'll make me use the feature often or use the feature rarely. The Wii Shop was too expensive. Those prices could really use a restructuring come Cafe time. Super Mario Land for $3 please. NES 3D Classics better not be over $5.

Now im wondering if the 3D classics will be updated with full screen (like the super mario image from the beggining of the 3d video from Nintento World 2011) or original with borders (like they shown in the E3 2010 demo of the 3d classics)
We need more info ASAP!!!
