Eurogamer: Only people who went to the Eurogamer Expo.

GAME: Reward Card owners will be selected at random.

 

Why even announce them if they're going to be so closed?

Being the cynical person that I am I just thought of a horrible possibility. Imagine the 3DS is not as successful as we all want. Nintendo could easily produce the equivalent of the micro by making a 2DS.

Got one as well. Sent in the time slot I'd like to go to but it'll be a bit of a trek as the closest one is in Glasgow and it'll no doubt be in one of the shopping centres/areas on the outskirts of the city. If it is, then I'll probably not bother going but if it's in the centre, I'll go. Does look like it only lasts half an hour going by the time slots they were offering so you're not gonna get much hands on time with it.

3DS eShop and DSi Transfers Coming in May

 

Nintendo detailed its firmware update plans for the 3DS today, and it looks like a number of features aren't going to be available on day one. The system's first major firmware update is set for May and will add: a shopping interface, an internet browser, and functionality for transferring DSi Ware games to your 3DS.

 

The shopping interface is officially known as the "Nintendo eShop." Similar to the current Wii Shopping Channel and DSi Shopping Channel, you'll access this to make downloadable game purchases. As previously detailed, the shop will also offer demos and video downloads.

 

Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata, in comments shared at an investors briefing today, said that the eShop interface has been improved from what we saw on the DSi and Wii. The shop runs smoother and will be a place that gamers will want to visit just to "window shop."

 

The shop will offer a variety of software: Virtual Console (previously confirmed to be Game Boy and Game Boy Color games), DSi Ware games, and 3DS-specific titles. The latter category will encompass the "3D Classics" Nintendo mentioned at E3 last year, where classic titles are updated to support 3D output.

 

The shop will also offer free software, including a video player that will be required if you want to watch 3D video content. In Japan, free 3D video content is going to be distributed through a couple of television networks via SpotPass. Aside form this, Nintendo has yet to share its larger video plans for the system.

 

The reason the DSi Ware software transfer feature has to wait for the May update is because the feature makes use of the eShop. This feature will basically allow you to transfer games that you downloaded to your DSi onto your 3DS. Nintendo has not said how the transfers will be done or how the shop will be involved, but you will have a limited number of allowed transfers.

 

In the future, the 3DS firmware will see another update that will allow for transfer of software from one 3DS to another, for instance if you decide to buy an updated 3DS system or just change to a new color. These transfers will also have a limited number.

 

Also set for a future firmware update is functionality for automatic system updates and automatic software downloads via Spot Pass. A precise date for this update was not announced.

Game, but I'm regretting it. If I hadn't made a deposit there, I'd get it from Asda's website. If you enter "15OFF3DS" at the moment, you can get it for £202 (free postage), which is hard to resist.
