Buy eShop games from your PC and smartphone later this year

Before the years is out you’ll be able able to buy Wii U and 3DS eShop games from your smartphone or PC a new report suggests.

You’ll no longer need to be at home in front of your Wii U or have your 3DS with you to buy eShop games. The report also suggests you’ll be able to manage your Nintendo Network account from the same system.

This move will allow people who don’t own a 3DS or Wii U to browser and see what’s available on the eShop, something Nintendo needs if they plan on boosting their digital offering.

Sales of digital versions of Nintendo games rose over 150% year on year, this will only go up if more people can see what’s available.
