Nintendo Web eShop coming soon?

Okay, so basically the fine posters over at NeoGAF discovered that the url eshop.nintendo.net exists and just gives an error page. BUT it has a button to go back to a page to redeem a download code and as a poster on that board discovered, it worked and the game he entered the code for worked.


(I also tested it out as well and can confirm that yes, it redeemed my game and downloaded it to my Wii U)


So uh, megaton? Should we expect the web version of the eshop soon?

The convenience of browsing the eShop on your phone or computer, buying them and finding the game installed on your system when you next fire it up is obvious, and it's a feature already available on Sony and Microsoft systems. It seems that Nintendo's work in this area is progressing.

UPDATE: You can now buy games from Nintendo.com and have them automatically dl to your system, if you live in North America.
