So I finally got around to updating my 3DS and I have to say I like the eShop thus far. It's a little light on content at the moment but we get a free game (ExciteBike) and some great classics are available (first thing I did was DL Super Mario Land :p). But the thing I am really impressed with are the E3 vids and how nice the graphics look. I bought my 3DS without getting a game (gonna get OoT in a few days) and only have internet vids to go by for graphics impressions. The Kid Icuras, RE:Rev and Super Mario vids have all really impressed me. Not to turn this into a SW topic but I can defintely see the graphics are superior to the PSP. Can't wait for RE to come out.

Anyone else enjoying the eShop as well? What games have you purchased so far?

I purchased donkey kong for the original gameboy. Most people are complaining and don't like it, saying they want donkey kong return. But I like the puzzle solving, I'm already on level 5.

Legend of Zelda Links awakening DX: great great game.

I got kirby but I haven't touched it yet I don't know I've never played it before so yeah.

Excite bike...something about that game makes me happy to play it.

Those are all the games I have.....but something tells me that I don't have enough. E-Shop should just add a bunch of more games etc.

Check out the Paper Mario trailer, it's really good. This game seems really suited for 3d.

Like you said, the content is light right now, but I'm excited for all the cool stuff that will come to it. Also as you said, I'm really excited they are supporting it with as many videos as they have for games and movies alike. The eShop is MUCH better than the DSiStore. So I'm just excited for what is to come. (Megaman Legends 3 beta anyone? lol)

Yeah i just wish now that they would release some good classic games. I have no interest in the original Gameboy (black n white) games.

I'd recommend Donkey Kong from the VC. It's a shockingly awesome version of the classic. I honestly don't think I'd ever played it on my old B&W Gameboy. But by 1994, when it came out, I didn't use mine for much except those super hard Mega Man games that released on the system that eventually ended with me smashing the screen with my fist. :D Can't wait for those to hit the VC as well!

Having problems getting the system update. Don't have wireless internet connection, so I went to Best Buy. The guy wasn't going to help, then finally set up their access point. Tried to get the update, after getting a little way thru, it would have an error and restart the 3DS. Finally had to leave. Went to Barnes & Noble since they have free WiFi, but couldn't get it to take me to the internet. Can you use WiFi to connect? Or do I always have to go somewhere with a wireless connection to get updates and buy stuff from the store, which I also do not have yet. Don't know why they made this without a way to directly connect it to your computer.
