Title: Staff Sez #2: The 3DS eShop
Post by: Karl Castaneda #2 on October 26, 2011, 07:33:13 AM

The Nintendo World Report says it like it is regarding the eShop.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/feature/28097

Hey folks, and welcome to the second edition of Staff Sez. If you weren't here last time, the premise is simple. The stupendous staff members here at NintendoWorldReport.com are given half of a sentence, which they then have to finish in ten words or less. It's a lot of fun, and you should absolutely play along in the comments!

This week, the sentence was:

"More than six months in, the biggest change I'd like to see in the eShop is…"

Neal "Havok" Ronaghan sez:
"…Ren and Stimpy: Quest for the Shaven Yak (Game Gear)."

Andrew "Danger" Brown sez:
"…Wario Freaking Land already. And the Game Boy Castlevania Trilogy."

James "Bishop" Dawson sez:
"…the addition of a universal account similar to PSN."

James "Doctor Nemesis" Jones sez:
"…good games."

Zach "Cannonball" Miller sez:
"…organization and freaking demos."

Andy "Sauron" Goergen" sez:
"…Metroid II 3D Remix."

Daan "Sunfire" Koopman sez:
"…some actual 3DS Download Software in the west and demos.

Mike "Beak" Sklens sez:
"…promotion of upcoming games rather than just throwing them up."

Carmine "Omega" Red sez:
"…an Everybody Votes Channel app."

Jonathan "Mister Sinister" Metts sez:
"…multiple 3DS and Virtual Console releases per week."

Nicholas "Nimrod" Bray sez:
"…the ability to resize eShop's front like the home menu."

Minoru "Multiple Man" "Yamaizmis sez:
"…Virtual Boy games."

J.P. "Fantomex" Corbran sez:
"…better structure and sorting options (and Mario Tennis GBC)."

Aaron "Forge" Kaluszka sez:
"…access to all regional stores and background downloading."

Josh "Prodigy" Max sez:
"…my Mii with a shopping cart looking through the games."

James "Strong Guy" Charlton sez:
"…faster load times, more streaming 3D videos, demos and discounts."

Danny "The Silver Samurai" Bivens:
"…Virtual Boy games… in color… (a boy can dream)."

Let us know how you'd finish this sentence in the comments! And let us know what you'd like us to talk about next. See ya next time!

sane price points...

Are the games really THAT expensive?

@Razorkid I feel that most of them are overpriced for what you are getting. Why spend $4 on a 20 year old game that might keep me busy for an hour at best? I got Angry Birds and Plants vs Zombies for free on my phone and they keep me busy for weeks at least. I could see a buck for the old GB games but Nintendo is too greedy right now.

reasonable prices and a universal account where VC games are transferable between home and portable systems.

to be able to put on £5 as a minimum.


And definitely agree with pricing. While I don't mind higher prices for original games, since you know, they're new,  Virtual Console games no matter how high-profile shouldn't be priced the way they are. If they were priced at the standard for iPhone games at about 60p or a quid, I'd be buying them in troves. I don't think that would upset the balance of paying into premium content- nobody is going to stop buying the shiney new stuff on their 3DS just because they can get 20 year old games for a quid.

Just me thinking "Pokemon White, Green, Red, Blue"? (A voice in my head. Never stop.)

Wow! I mean Pokemon Yellow! The voice is confusing me...

Value is in the eye of the beholder I suppose.

"The 3DS eShop needs..."
... prepaid cards without Visa logos.
