Let's hope those full game downloads can be played across systems.

A unified eShop account system will be implemented by Wii U and 3DS, as reported by a Nintendo Customer Service Representative David Marshall.
"A unified account system will be implemented later this year with the launch of the Wii U. Eventually this same account system will be made compatible with Nintendo 3DS systems. At this time we have no additional details to offer and nothing to indicate how or if this will work outside the United States and Canada. In the meantime, if the system has a problem, taking it to an Authorized Service Center will maintain the Nintendo eShop account. If the system is stolen, we can transfer the account to a new system once we are provided with a valid police report," Marshall stated in an e-mail response to a customer.
Furthermore, he went on to say that the digital format of New Super Mario Bros. 2 will be limited to United States and Canada in North America.
"Of course, you asked this question because of the upcoming launch of New Super Mario Bros. 2 in retail and digital formats. What you need to know is that the digital format will only be available in the United States and Canada. We have nothing to announce regarding Latin American availability."
Which also means if you lose your system then you are SOL because you can't file a police report over a something you lost. We'll see how well it works out for Jonny...I'm guessing that it will be a nightmare. This is the exact reason why I will never purchase any full price retail games on the eShop.

You do realize that you can lose a physical game card just as easily as the system itself, and probably easier, and if that happens you're not getting any help from Nintendo either, right?

Yes, but if you lost your laptop you can re-download every song you bought from iTunes....it's called the future.
Because Latin America uses a different Internet?
Maybe it's the same reason Pikmin 3 isn't online, Nintendo are using Internet 1.0 still instead of 3.0. :P:

Also, iPhone App Store, Xbox Live and PSN. My point is, lacking the ability to do that isn't really a good reason not to buy digital copies since it's the same situation with physical copies.
