Eshop is E-riving soon

Got that awful play on words out of the way. The 3DS version of the Wii Shop channel is coming Stateside in an update on June 6th. In that update the 3DS will also be able to be used as an Internet browser as well. The E-shop is a great way to get old games a second look and in some cases, shows them off to a totally new crowd who missed out on them the first time. This brings up the question of "What games should be available for the E-shop?" Link's Awakening and Super Mario Land are two games that look like they're going to make the cut as down-loadable games. If Mario Land 1 is there, Super Mario Land 2 has to get a look as well as Kirby and the Pokemon games. It would be great to not have to worry about the internal battery running out on an old-school game( cough Pokemon cough) and basically have the game for as long as the 3DS goes on living. I would love to play Red and Blue again with the original graphics as well as online trade/StreetPass trade system. The E-shop just screams "second chance" for old games and classics to get that needed second look. The service will also bring re-mastered 3D classic games to the system. One game that I feel deserves a second look either in 3D or old-school is Snow-Bros. Fighting as snowmen, possibly in 3D. What's not to like.  Like what you see, then Follow Nintentofive
