Cutting costs and limited retail space have to be what is driving them to heavily promote eShop sales as of late, for consoles without much internal storage space mind you.

If I were Nintendo I would have already started heavily investing in an online store for the US and Canadian market. Like a cross between Nintendo World Store and Nintendo UK's online store. Because this is bullshit.

That would be awesome if they had an online store for Nintendo World. Means some of us could finally have a chance of getting our hands on some of the limited/collectible items!

Side note: how good is the cosmetic condition of refurbished 3DS XLs? I wouldn't mind getting a Yoshi one.
