3DS eShop update to get DLC and demos

During its financial results briefing, Nintendo have announced that the November eShop update will allow demos and DLC to be downloaded onto the 3DS.

Another feature mentioned in the update includes the ability to download software while the 3DS is in sleep mode, this will  lessen the need for the users to wait while downloading several software titles at once or while downloading software with a large memory capacity.

Although this next feature is not going to be available with the next system update, Nintendo are preparing a feature which will allow gamers to access the eShop from PC's and smartphones.

"At the beginning, you will not be able to directly purchase software from your PC or smartphone. Instead, you will need to take a photo of a QR code at the Nintendo eShop by using the camera of your Nintendo 3DS. The Nintendo 3DS will then open that specific page of the Nintendo eShop. That function is already included in the upcoming system update for the Nintendo 3DS. In the future, we will make it so that you will be able to purchase software by using your PC or smartphone"
