It turns out that purchasing Wii U and 3DS titles from Nintendo’s website isn’t just limited to pre-orders. Most – if not all – first-party titles available on the eShop can also be bought on the site.
Super Smash Bros. for 3DS, Hyrule Warriors, and Zelda: Ocarina of Time are among the games that can be ordered by using Nintendo’s website. Chances are that if you search for any first-party release, it will be available for purchase or pre-order.

Mighty No. 9 to receive English voice acting
Posted on 9 years ago by Jarop(@gamrah) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 3 Comments
The latest Mighty No. 9 Kickstarter update has revealed that the game will be receiving English voice acting in the final build. Backers were asked to participate in a vote for either English or Japanese voices, and English edged forward by a only a matter of hundreds.
Here’s the full quote:
YOUR “VOICE” HAS BEEN HEARD!
We’ve been seeing great discussions all over our forums, twitter feed and Facebook for the past week, all focused on a single burning question: English or Japanese? Which language will all the voice acting be in for Mighty No. 9?!The response has been amazing: over 20,000 of you weighed in with your choice over the last few days, and now we’re finally back with your decision:
Mighty No. 9 will include English voice acting!
You might be thinking “Well DUH! Of course it’s English — the largest majority of Mighty No. 9 backers speak English!” And sure, you’d be right, but you’d be surprised how close the vote was — less than 1,000 votes separated the two choices, from the start right down to the end!So a HUGE thanks to ALL of you for helping us make Mighty No. 9 a better game, with special thanks to our slacker backers and beckers who upped their reward tiers, since it’s their purchases that will make this bonus content possible and guarantees it for all our backers! You guys & gals are the best! (?^?)?

3DS eShop software can now be downloaded on the Home Menu
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
In the past, 3DS users had two main options available if they were interested in obtaining software from the eShop. Content could be downloaded straight from the digital store, or users could opt to have items download while their system was in sleep mode.
A third option is also now available, which was likely added with last week’s 3DS firmware update. It’s possible to download content directly on the Home Menu – without putting your system in Sleep Mode.
Here’s how it works:
1. Choose the “Download Later” option on the eShop
2. Hover over the new present icon on the Home Menu and click “View Details”
3. Hit the “Y” button
And that’s it! If you want to continue the download in Sleep Mode, just press the “B” button on the 3DS.

eShop web store pages discovered
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, General Nintendo, News, Wii U eShop | 35 Comments
Nintendo promised a web-based eShop ages ago. But for whatever reason, it has yet to materialize. Perhaps something is on the horizon though…
A few folks over on NeoGAF have managed to detect a live page for the web eShop. You can view it right here. While it’s clearly still a work in progress (and likely not meant to be accessed by the common user), it seems that there’s actually some functionality in place.
We’re hearing some reports that automatic downloading is working for Wii U, believe it or not. Users can enter a redeemable code on this page.
When will Nintendo officially launch the web eShop? That is unknown at present. But at the very least, it still appears to be development… and hopefully we’ll see it officially go live soon!
