eShop Launches June 6th
Nintendo has announced that the next big, much-anticipated 3DS system update will become available the evening of June 6th in North America (June 7th in Japan).

Nintendo’s in an awkward transitional pre-E3 mode right now, and early 3DS adopters have only a handful of good titles to choose from until things pick up. Zelda’s coming in June, and thank goodness the eShop is scheduled to launch this month. Blake’s dealing with the lull by playing awesome GBA games on his newly acquired AGS-101.
