All I want to know is when are other retail games going to be available on Nintendo eShop for 3DS... I am done buying cartridges.

I hear you! Me too, much better way to buy games.

For now, only first party stuff will be available. Most likely next year, all of them (1st party) should be available. Animal Crossing in japan just got confirmed I think in the latest Nintendo Direct week - iwata said something about having the game at all times is important for this franchise - which I agree

Too bad that rumor about KH, Castlevania and Scribblenauts was proved false... at least for now

I still like my cartridges but I can see your point about Animal Crossing being useful as a downloaded game.  That way when you boot up your system if there is something new in the game (like mail or whatever) then that blue dot will go on the bottom of the AC logo notifying you that there is something new (like MK7, Swapnote, etc).  Not anything game changing but a little neat (I'll probably have my AC cart in my system for awhile once it is released).
