Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Podcast Stories, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
If you’re reading this, chances are you’re an avid Nintendo fan – or a gaming fan, at the very least. That likely means you try watching the Nintendo Direct presentations live. Or perhaps you view them on YouTube a few hours later.
Not everyone operates this way. In fact, Satoru Iwata revealed during today’s investors meeting that more and more consumers are viewing the Nintendo Direct broadcasts through the eShop.
Iwata noted, “It is no exaggeration to say that the most preferred viewing option has now become the Nintendo eShop, and it is not uncommon to find that approximately 60 to 70 percent of total views come from the Nintendo eShop.” Iwata additionally stated that with recent shows, “it became common to see total views for a single video reach five hundred to six hundred thousand in a matter of about 10 days on the Nintendo eShop while they did not show apparent growth on YouTube”.

WayForward hopes to have Shantae out on the 3DS VC in mid-June/early July
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
WayForward was first said to be pursuing a 3DS Virtual Console release of Shantae almost two years ago. In August of last year, the studio reconfirmed the game for release on the service.
We’re now in April, and Shantae still hasn’t appeared on the eShop. But it’s coming… still.
WayForward’s Matt Bozon (not to be confused with the former IGN Nintendo editor Mark Bozon) wrote on Twitter that Shantae is now expected between mid-June and early July. Let’s hope the Game Boy Color finally finally arrives within the next few months!
