Walmart Listing Reveals New eShop Cards

The first steps into the realm of Nintendo Network.

A listing at retailer Walmart indicates that North American players can expect rebranded Nintendo eShop cards in the near future. This was uncovered by gaming blog Trendy Gamers.

The new prepaid cards will allow you to purchase content (described as "games, videos and more" on the package) on the Nintendo 3DS as well as the upcoming Wii U console, which will be launching on November 18. There will be three different variations to choose from: $20, $35 and $50. The cards can't be used on the Nintendo DSi Shop or the Wii Shop Channel.

At this point in time, no information is known about when the cards will be available. However, it is to be expected that these will pop up on or near the Wii U launch date.

It seems that may not be the final product. If you look at the left side of the 3DS on the card, you can see that the side is quite jagged.
Perhaps it is a mock up or rough draft?

Perfect for all those $40 3DS titles and those $60 Wii games...
Just some random guy on the internet who has a different opinion of games than you.

Don't forget sales tax on the eShop purchase, too.

If I wanted to buy a retail game on the eShop, I'd have to buy a $35 + $20. All according to keikaku.
