I think this is the big thing for the summer update and why it was pushed back.
We got some various bug fixes and improvments the other day. They stated a while back that a unified account would come as well as miiverse and other stuff to 3DS.
So now they are prepping 3DS for this as well.
Summer update could include updates to both 3DS and WiiU and eShop.
3DS gets miiverse
Both get unified eShop experience where you can now buy stuff for either console from either console or web.
NNIDs are now linked or merged into one account and software is now tied to that account vs that piece of hardware.
You can now connect/share with a specific number of hardware so long as the NNID is connected to that hardware.
For WiiU that means you can have your share with that number of WiiUs just so long as your NNID is one of the many installed.
For 3DS it only allows on NNID to be installed as its a personal device. But you will no longer lose content if you lose the device.
This is what I'm really hoping happens. Plus they'll have to figure out something for those that bought same VC games on both consoles. Maybe credit them or something and in future when a title comes to one and then the other, its a free download ... or at least a discounted option similar to Wii to WiiU upgrades. (this issue may also be why WiiU doesn't have the promised Gameboy games yet as they are limiting this negative double purchase issue)
This way when I get my kids 3DSs (likely this year) content can be more fluid between the console and their devices.

This is all that stops me going crazy on the eShop. I haven't touched it yet out of fear I'll lose everything.
