You can obviously buy these from the eShop directly, but for example South American owners can now purchase content from Amazon with their non-US cards.

It may be because I live in the UK, and we use the Sterling, but that looks awfully expensive for a digital purchase.

I may have been spoiled by Steam.... :s

Wow, wonder why it took so long.

Dunno, but I remember that Amazon.com had some problems with Nintendo's products at the beginning of the generation; they didn't sell 3DS or something like that.

i've bought some playstation digital content via amazon. good service but they don't care everything psn offers which is a shame. i don't see many sales either so i tend to buy direct from playstation anyways but a good options for those that don't want to give sony/ms/nintendo their credit card info or whatever keeps them from buying direct.

Nice thing to have I guess.

I probably won't be using Amazon to buy Nintendo games digitally, though.

Nintendolife added some extra info:

So they are also going to link the NNIDs? That new rewards system was set for this fall, right?

That's cool. I've gotten a few Amazon gift cards and it'd be nice to be able to redeem them for digital stuff.

Amazon had a major problem with Nintendo, so you're right, that probably had something to do with it.  They stopped selling the 3DS for awhile and didn't sell the Wii U at all for a very long time.  It obviously wasn't a very friendly relationship.

Goood catch.
