3DS download sales details
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, News | 11 Comments
– 3DS to fix issues with the Wii and DSi shops
– 3DS shop will combine promotional and sales functionality
– Iwata compared this to combining the Wii Shop Channel and Nintendo Channel into one
– Improved shop interface for 3DS
– Quickly and smoothly switch between screens
– Store downloads on an SD card
– The 3DS come with a 2GB card, but you can use a larger card as well
– 4 categories of 3DS downloads: Virtual Console, Classic Games with New 3D Look, Nintendo DSiWare, Nintendo 3DS Software
– Virtual Console category starting off with Game Boy and Game Boy Color
– “Classic Games with a new 3D Look” category includes classic titles remade in 3D
– Namco Bandai had a 3D version of Xevious as an experiment for the Classic Games with a new 3D Look category
– DSiWare category: Download DSiWare titles like DSi/DSi LL owners can, transfer games over to the 3DS as well
– Last category most likely 3DSWare, but it has not been given that official name
“We’ve been doing download sales for the Wii and DSi, but there is room for improvement. We cannot say that the Wii Shopping Channel and Nintendo DSi Shop have provided users with a sufficiently easy and accessible interface, and we were not able to run optimal shops which have the ability to both promote and sell products in one place.”
“For any download business to grow, it must be important for consumers to be able to enjoy window shopping even when they do not have any particular product in mind. Quick and easy access to the shop is, therefore, very important.”
“To make the classic titles 3D will not be as easy as providing Virtual Console software, but we are eager to make them available for the download sales.”

3DS can receive DSiWare transfers
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, News | 2 Comments
Good news, DSi/DSi XL owners. Nintendo has released a PDF file about the 3DS, which confirms an extremely important feature: The ability to transfer DSiWare titles. Also noteworthy, consumers will be able to move 3DSWare downloads from one handheld to another. There is a restriction, however, as a limit is placed on the amount of times one can move titles between systems. Additionally, some downloads simply won’t be able to be moved. But hey, it sounds like Nintendo is starting to learn from some of their previous mistakes!
