Capcom is looking to bring some of its older 3DS titles to the eShop “in the coming months”, according to Christian Svensson.

Svensson wrote on the Capcom-Unity boards:

“Many of our other previously released 3DS titles will be coming to the eShop in the coming months. Details to follow when we’re closer to release.”

Based on Svensson’s words, games such as Super Street Fighter IV 3D and Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D will be making their way to the digital store in the future. Hopefully Resident Evil: Revelations and the upcoming Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate will also be available through the eShop.

The Wii U has been out for a couple of months now, but there’s one peculiar aspect about the system that hasn’t been discussed.

Were you hoping to link your Club Nintendo account to the Wii Shop Channel? Well… it’s not possible. As a result, consumers won’t receive any coins for titles purchased on the store.

Nintendo says that the limitation is in place due to “certain system constraints”.

You’ll obviously still get coins for games bought on the original Wii Shop Channel – you know, on an actual Wii. It’s also possible to link a Club Nintendo account to the Wii U eShop. But if you were hoping to download a few extra titles and earn some coins, you’re out of luck.

Thanks to R for the tip.
