Nintendo's gunning for retailers, expanding eShop offerings for Wii U, 3DS

Nintendo is going to sell its 3DS and Wii U games through the eShop as well as on the high street.

The first two games to get the treatment will be New Super Mario Bros 2 and Onitore Brain Training (working title) for the handheld, with more expected in the future. As consumers transition to downloads, the company will keep its brick-and-mortar partners on-side by allowing them to sell "activation codes" to the digital titles -- although that does mean you'll have to drive down to Gamestop and back.
