My Nintendo 3DS has sat alone and untouched for over three weeks now. The initial appeal of Pilotwings Resort and Street Fighter 4 has long been exhausted. With the next big release, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time , not out until late June, I was really hanging my hopes on the e-Shop and Internet Browser firmware update scheduled for May.
Alas, that’s also been pushed back. Not by too much , however. Nintendo has announced that from June 6th in North America and June 7th in Japan and Europe, 3DS owners will finally be able to buy classic games at the e-Shop and use the internet browser for ten minutes before getting tired of the smallass screen and going back on the PC.
That’s a small delay – the update was always scheduled for the end of May, anyway, so we’re waiting about an extra week. Any delay for a feature that should have been ready on launch day isn’t good, but it’s coming at last.
