s**t tons of more info about eShop and whatnot!

[Meta_Fish]

Info coming from GoNintendo, various pages:

Quote:

- $1.99 for eShop games
- Super Mario Land will cost $3.99
- Alleyway and Radar Mission (which is essentially Battleship) will cost $2.99
- view Game Boy games in solid black-and-white colors, or classic gray-and-green
- in Excitebike 3D, the depth slider not only changes the level of 3D, but also changes the camera angle of the game
- add funds to your “wallet” in amounts of $5, $10, $20 and $50
- can't create an account that saves your personal details and credit card information
- no “redeem code” functionality
- Nintendo is working on figuring out some way to let writers review games before they come out
- press release announcing new games on Mondays, but release the games on Thursday

I'm a little sad that Game Boy games that no one gives a s**t about aren't coming out at say, a dollar, but instead, three dollars, but I suppose I wouldn't get many of them anyway. The color options for Game Boy games are hilariously awesome, though, and I like how Excitebike is shaping up.

Aw, I'm kinda disappointed that Excitebite isn't just going to be complimentary. No biggie, I guess. And come to think of it, it was probably kind of foolish to think that they'd really go to the trouble of making all of the junk on Netflix 3D.
