Nintendo to bring back gifting, 3DS/Wii U VC sharing?
Update: Our guess was correct, somewhat. Rogers has now clarified:
Nintendo looking at possibly to bring back gifting, do a feature where some of your Wii U VC games can be playable on 3DS, and vice versa.

The ever-reliable Emily Rogers has tweeted a couple of interesting notes regarding future features for the eShop and Virtual Console. Rogers wouldn’t say much, but did tease that “There may come a time in the future when owning both a Wii U and 3DS will become beneficial.”
When it comes to eShop/VC, I think you’ll see some features in future firmware updates that people really want before end of this year.

Here’s a hint without giving anything away. There may come a time in the future when owning both a Wii U and 3DS will become beneficial.

Perhaps Nintendo could be working on a cross-buy option for Virtual Console titles? As in, if you buy one VC game on the Wii U, you’d get its counterpart for free (or at a reduced price) on the 3DS and vice versa? Just a guess!
