I thought Nintendo doesn't know how online works.
 
idgi, whats the advantage of this over just buying it from the actual e shop
 
you said that, but it doesnt really make sense. the wiiu and 3ds are both closed platforms running proprietary software. the idea of "invasive drm" doesn't even apply to them

It's about time. I'm not sure about general advantages, but I'll find this useful if I'm somewhere where my 3DS doesn't have a connection to the Internet (e.g. college).
 
Lefty, there is still room for learning new stuff, even at an ages old company like Nintendo.

Huh, I didn't mean for my comment to be taken literally; I'm just joking about how Nintendo seems to be considerably behind other companies when it comes to online-related things.

Nintendo is usually the company that innovates, so I'm sure Nintendo can still learn.
