That is also the day Nintendo will be holding its E3 presentation; the eShop will presumably be pretty barebones to start with, at least until the company makes its big announcements.It is unfortunate that 3DS early adopters continue to wait for features that were originally believed to be coming at launch.

• Players will add the eShop to their 3DS systems through a software update that’ll also include the web browser.

• Games will be split into various categories. These include DSiWare, 3DS Virtual Console and 3D Classics.

• Confirmed for launch: Capcom’s Mega Man Legends 3: Prototype Version.

• Confirmed games: Super Mario Land, Donkey Kong, a Legend of Zelda adventure.

• The eShop will let players rate games using a five star scale.

• Users will be able to access videos and screens of 3DS retail games and rate these titles using the same five star system.
