Older 3DS games seeing strong digital sales on the eShop

Bringing titles such as The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D and Star Fox 64 3D to the 3DS eShop was a smart move for Nintendo. In the US, 20% of sales for both games have come from digital this year. Art Academy and Brain Age also managed to see 15-25% digital penetration, according to a report from Shacknews.

We heard earlier today that a third of Fire Emblem: Awakening’s sales in North America resulted in digital sales. Nintendo says that “over half” of those who purchased the game have also bought downloadable content.
