The 3DS eShop has received an absolute blowout of information today. Pretty much every major news outlet previewed the new service in some shape or form. Now GameSpot has provided another bunch of details, including limits on your virtual wallet and monthly spending, search options, and more. Oh, and you’ll probably be disappointed to hear that you can’t gift games to other 3DS owners.
