RUMOR - Japan: 3DS getting eShop/browser/DSiWare transfer in May

GN Version 3.1

Here’s a bit of rather disturbing news. The latest rumor stems from Nintendo’s investor meeting, which did indeed happen. Whether this information is spot-on or not remains to be seen.

We’re hearing that the 3DS isn’t going to get its eShop, internet browser or the ability to transfer DSiWare titles until May. These upgrades will come in the way of a firmware update, which would no double be downloadable from your own home.

So…let’s say this is the case in Japan. We’ve heard that Europe is going to get this update on day one when the system launches. Nintendo of America said that each region is different, and wouldn’t comment on when we’ll get the update. Man…talk about a mess.
