RUMOR: Mario Kart 7 and SM3DL are headed to the eShop
Well, I’d say that this rumor makes a fair amount of sense! I don’t know anything about the techno-jargen, but it seems that the bottom line is that Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D Land are headed to the 3DS eShop as downloadable titles. Of course this is just a rumor for now, but it’s one that I’d say has a fair bit of clout given the online strategy Nintendo is pursuing.
For those interested, here’s the forum post that the rumor stems from:
—————————————–
Well I was running my weekly scan of Nintendo’s CDN (the server where Nintendo hosts eShop Titles), and the EUR version of Mario Kart 7’s title ID was added, sometime between now and last thursday.
You might call me wrong, but if you look at the TMD, it says the title has a manual and DLP Child, just like Mario Kart 7. And the NCCH files on CDN are very close to the size of the NCCH files from the EUR version of the ROM:
Executable NCCH: CDN/ROM = 609/611mb
Manual NCCH: CDN/ROM = 2.69/2.52mb
Dlp Child Container NCCH: CDN/ROM = 26.5/26.5mb

You can actually investigate the truthiness of this claim by downloading the “TMD” yourself.
