Some previously purchased DSiWare titles will be transferable to the 3DS.

Nintendo has revealed that consumers will have the ability to move DSiWare purchases over to the 3DS at the recent Japanese 3DS event.
While Nintendo has yet to reveal how the transfer system will work, the company did note that some software will not be able to make the trip over to the new system. In addition, players will only be able to redownload their DSi Ware software a set number of times.
"Some" being games that Nintendo has sponsered or made/published themselves.

Guess Shantae will have to wait for 3DS then. =(
Ya know what amazes me about all the discussions regarding this going on on different forums right now?
The fact that people take this as a "good sign" that VC games will be downloadable without paying again on Wii2. We shouldn't have to look for signs of this. This crap is a REQUIREMENT.
If Nintendo honestly tells someone that they have to rebuy games, their entire digital delivery strategy is garbage and I don't think I would ever be buying a Nintendo system again for that level of dishonestly and stupidity.
So yeah, in my opinion, they HAVE to solve this problem so it is not just a question of whether or not they have the feature, its a question of whether or not the feature will be implemented well.
The "some" word makes me want to throw up. Only partial backwards compatibility?
Here's to hoping the ones that don't work will be the lame alarm clocks and what not.
I'm interested in whether this means 3DS owners will be able to browse and shop DSiWare, outside of transferring purchases. I never got a DSi but would like to download some of those games.The conference slides seem to indicate yes.
I'd bet money that the "some" modifier indicates only games that can be registered at Club Nintendo can be re-downloaded onto the 3DS.

Yeah, but my theory seems pretty plausible. Halbred's doesn't even make sense. ;)

It amaze me that people still think they own their DLC.
I agree with vudu.
In all honesty, I'm 100 percent ok with the 'some' modifier. If I can't play Face Pilot on my 3DS, I won't be too bummed out. If I can't play my precious Art Style games, then someone at Nintendo gonna get capped. Fortunately, I think that won't be the issue.
It would seem this would be as easy as transferring over the DSi shop account, if it's possible.
