Nintendo 3DS - The first batch of Digital releases

[VicViper]

Fantastic news for people who live on jungles, like me!


We knew that Nintendo planned to release the "majority" of its retail 3DS games digitally on eShop going forward, but a note in an E3 investor presentation from NOA president Reggie Fils-Aime reveals plans to release third-party games digitally as well.

"We've got a massive list of AAA content on the way from all of the biggest names in gaming," Fils-Aime said, "that are all proven franchises, all exclusive to our platform, and all coming to stores both in physical and digital formats in the second half of 2012." Accompanying this statement is a slide featuring confirmed eShop/retail releases New Super Mario Bros. 2, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, and Paper Mario: Sticker Star, along with third-party games Kingdom Hearts 3D, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate, Scribblenauts Unlimited, and Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion.

Well, except for Scribblenauts - which I plan to get on Wii U - and Epic Mickey, all of those are either must buys (Mario, Paper Mario, Luigi and Kingdom Hearts) or possible buy (Castlevania)
But the best part of the news is the bolded part. Maybe the majority applies to third parties too. I think the last games I'll import for 3DS are going to be Heroes of Ruin and Mario Tennis, all the the others, whenever possible, is going to be digital, baby!
