These are not all it has either. Nintendo of America usually updates the eShop with at least 1-2 games per week, so you should be able to find something you like amongst all the games. Those, along with many more can be purchased, and downloaded straight to your system. For the eShop, unlike the Nintendo Wii, the 3DS does not use its own currency for the purchase of games. Instead, it just gives a normal, standard cash balance. It will tell you how much money you have remaining in your account.
This may easier for some people to understand, as they don’t have to remember points values as well as how much they cost. Also, applying the card to your account is very easy. Simply go to your eShop account, and it will have an option to “Add Funds” there, with a prepaid card being a main option.Simply follow the instructions then to add it to your account. If you have a Club Nintendo account, you can link it with your 3DS, and when you get a game, you will receive a survey to complete on the main website. Completion of the survey will add CN coins to your account, which can be traded in for various prizes, ranging from redeemable download codes for A Wii or 3DS virtual console game,or to physical products such as t-shirts or other various products.
Also, at the end of every June, if an account has accumulated 300/600 coins in the previous year alone, he or she will receive gold/platinum status for that year. These entitle the person to a special reward. The gold users often receive a calendar, however for the 2012 reward, many reward options were given, including download codes for popular games. The platinum reward is usually very limited, and often special, and usually mario-themed.
