Nintendo of America says not so fast on day-one eShop and internet browser

GN Version 3.1

Here’s some rather disconcerting news. Earlier today we heard that both the eShop and internet browser were going to be available as a firmware update day-one on 3DS launch. That comment came from a Nintendo UK rep. Take a look at what Nintendo of America has to say about it.

“Games and services offered by Nintendo can vary by region. Nintendo of America will release additional information about Nintendo eShop, including timing, content and pricing, at a later date.” - Nintendo’s Charlie Scibetta

Sounds to me like NoA is saying that it could happen in Europe, but that doesn’t mean it’ll happen in North America. Man, I really hope that’s not the case!
