Amazon starting to sell digital Wii U and 3DS content
Update 2 (9/1): Bumped to the top. Amazon has now launched its Nintendo Digital Downloads page here.
Update: This actually looks more extensive than I originally thought. You can purchase digital codes for a good chunk of Wii U and 3DS games that have hit retail thus far (thanks astrogamer). For example, consumers can buy a code for Smash Bros. Wii U right now. You’ll find a decent amount of codes listed for Wii U here, and codes for 3DS here.
Starting tomorrow, Amazon will begin selling digital content for both Wii U and 3DS. This includes games available on the eShop, Virtual Console releases, and DLC.
Here’s the lineup thus far:
Wii U
Golden Sun
Hyrule Warriors: The Hero of Hyrule Pack
Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap
Mario Kart 8 Bundle Pack
Pushmo World
Yoshi’s Island: Super Mario Advance 3
3DS
Kirby Fighters Deluxe
The Legend of Zelda
Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream
Super Mario Bros. 3
It’s a bit of a limited selection, but it’s certainly a nice start. I’ll be curious to see if additional content is added in over time.
