The Ups and Downs of the 3DS eShop

This week, Nintendo gave me a sneak peek of the eShop just days before it launches next week (during E3, even so it's nice to get an idea of the Shop now). The eShop has marked improvements in design and usability over the Wii Shop Channel and especially the DSi Shop, so finding, buying and enjoying games should be made more appealing. While that's all well and good, the eShop does have some old habits, particularly in pricing, that Nintendo won't let die. Based on my impressions from Nintendo's demo, I've collected a few positive and negative points about the eShop.

The Up: Virtually all DSiWare games will be brought over

Indeed, all 300+ DSiWare titles currently available in America are being brought over to the eShop. Those concerned that they won't be able to enjoy their old DSiWare games on the 3DS needn't raise concern -- well, maybe not too much concern. That's because...

The Down: Not every DSiWare game will make it

Specifically, a select few games that have "licensing issues," according to Nintendo, who also didn't name names. I suspect this may be some earlier DSiWare releases, or ones from companies that underwent major changes (Hudson, for example, which was wholly absorbed by Konami this year). (Update: If it's any consolation, a post at Siliconera lists the games that allegedly won't make it through.) Nevertheless, the games that I saw being promoted on the eShop frontend include the better DSiWare selections, such as Shantae, Plants Vs. Zombies, and Cave Story, so it might not be too devastating a loss.

The Up: More careful curation

Go to the DSi Shop or the Wii Shop Channel right now, and you'll be greeted with a plain display of a few "recommended titles." The eShop has some character in the way it promotes its catalog. Special categories like "Mario" (any item on the eShop with Mario in it) and "2-player games" will show you more specific collections as the shop's library grows. Weekly "staff picks" will highlight one title Nintendo thinks you should check out, and more arbitrary categories are possible -- for example, I was shown a category for games that start with 'W.' There's still a traditional search function, of course, as well as a dedicated button/page for the newest additions to the shop, which to me was a relief -- here, it only takes one tap to see the newest games, as opposed to the few it would take on the Wii and DSi shops.

The squid almost looks like a Pokémon character, and certainly has a fitting name for the anime franchise – “Taningia, I choose you!” But Taningia danae isn't actually as cuddly as it looks in Ellis' book. In addition to arrays of chitinous hooks
