Fuck this shit. They need to fix eShop to make it actually easy to buy stuff on it. Biting off more than they can chew again huh, nintendo?
Yep. That was the problem with the eShop. Not content, I just haven't been able to buy from my iPhone. Just stop, Nintendo.
I guess its a little step. Valve, Sony, and MS make hundreds of millions off of their online stores yet Nintendo seems to do everything in their power to prevent themselves from doing that with theirs.
I really wish Nintendo would just talk to Steam and get some Steam support rather than the half-arsed attempt they do at digital downloads/online gaming.
I guess I'm the only one that sees this as a step in the right direction? Or is it because it's still trendy to denounce any and everything Nintendo does nowadays?
Well, doesn't matter. The important thing is, they're trying. Being able to buy from your PC and Smartphone is a good thing, because that means they're going to need to give their customers a universal account to be able to link their games (club nintendo). Which is good.

Finding stuff on the e-shop is pretty easy. I know people like to complain about its format, but there's a search function right there.
What people should be complaining about is the lack of games on the e-shop right now.

What this article fails to mention is that demos and DLC are coming to the eShop, which IS a good thing (well, for demos anyway...).
Jesus, why do these people even bother? Nintendo, just admit you have no idea what "the internet" is and ask one of the big boys for help.
I got a feeling that some sony fanboy gona laugh at me when he sees me struggling to hold my phone in one hand and my 3ds in the other. He's gona scream that Mario's for babies and whip out his vita out of his European shoulder bag :o
I don't get what half of you people seem to be complaining about here? Nintendo just can't win with you people. Do you even own 3DS's, or are you all just complaining for the sake of complaining? Why would putting the eShop on PC/smartphones be a bad thing? Its just another way to eventually buy things anywhere you want? Sony and Microsoft does it with the PSN and XBLA, so why shouldn't Nintendo?
Think of the big picture here people, the Wii U will most likely have a eShop as well. So imagine buying a game like Ghost Recon Online, when you're on your lunch break at work, or school to have it done and downloaded on your Wii U by the time you get home. If Nintendo truly has a "always on consoles" like they tried to do with WiiConnect24 on the Wii, than it could totally be better on the Wii U, just like SteetPass is totally better, than tag mode on the DS. Sure Nintendo takes baby-steps, but when they finally get to where they're going, it usually pays off in the next generation!

I guess it's a step in the right direction, but I'd rather have more games and improved online interaction rather than this.
I still don't know if I can transfer my games to one 3DFs to other (like, Steam, Origin, PSN and others).
Precisely what Epic said. Make a Steam app with all the comunity features and I'll swap this blackberry shit for an iphone.
It's a step in the right direction, but only a step when everyone else is halfway done with the race. Of all the problems with Nintedo's digital system like points, lack of persistence, having put in your credit card number again for every game, lack of most social features, this addresses one of the smallest and least important problems.
This just sounds so obvious, it boggles my mind that it took them this long to even think of the idea.
Why would I want to buy a game if I don't have direct access to the machine to play it on. This isn't a step forward or back; it's a step sideways into a weird dimension where people download videogames from one piece of hardware to use on another different piece of hardware.
I'm... not sure I quite understand why this is so bad? One of the features of the Xbox Marketplace that people tend to rave about is how you can browse the store on your PC and make purchases there. Seems to me like this would be a great way to enhance the eShop?
I really don't know. I guess I'm not quite as "in" with what's hip on the Internets as all you folk.
In the meantime, I think the QR code thing is a good idea. Browse games from the convenience of web browser; whip out 3DS and scan QR code; watch 3D trailer/purchase game/etc. Seems perfectly reasonable.

Quick! We need Head-Ache Man! Stat!
All kidding aside, it's good that they're finally getting the hint, however, more still needs to be done.

Just give me Push-Mo already, it's already been out in Japan what's the hold up?
I actually like the interface to the eShop, and there's some good content coming to it, it's just that I have to wait longer.

God some of the comments here are stupid. Does anyone here who is complaining happen to own a 3DS? Have they seen the eShop's library? The "there are no games" argument is no longer the case. Slowly Nintendo has released a number of quality titles both as physical and downloadable software, and there's clearly more to come.
As for the news itself, it's a neat idea and makes things at least slightly more convenient, but hopefully Nintendo will be intelligent enough to do more to shut up these incessant whiners.

How is this exactly more convenient to have to use a crappy camera to take a picture of an image on a screen in order for your 3DS attached to that crappy camera to be able to download a title from the eShop?
It would be better use of resources to allow the eShop to utilize the stylus better, display many items at once and not be a long line of things to drag through and be able to identify 2-3 at a time. If they can do that for a smartphone or PC, they can do that shit for the 3DS. Just sayin'.
