A proper account system would directly and substantially increase my eShop spending.

I would dress up for work just to wear that tie! (I normally work in jeans...)

Nintendo's backwards thinking on this dramatically impacts the money I spend on the eShop. In fact, at this point I've just about stopped spending money on it, except for an occasional very cheap game. I'm not going to take the risk of losing those games if my 3DS is lost or stolen. The lack of an account system is a major part of my decision not to buy a Wii U. Wake up, Nintendo!

@jayblue, putting the games on a memory card won't help you, because you can't put that card into another system and play those games.

I will not buy a full-price digital download retail game, because of the loss/breakage of the system issue (I do buy some eShop games but limit those for the same reason). If they fix that, I'd consider buying some if some of the savings of distributing games this way was passed on to me.

I bought the first Dementium game. I didn't buy the second because I found some of the design decisions in the first one so frustrating that I didn't get past the first few levels - for example, getting killed in a boss fight required replaying the entire level (sometimes quite a long or challenging level, 15 minutes or more) to get back to it. Only to die again and again until you figure out the trick. Or look at a FAQ and get lucky the first time, and that shouldn't be necessary to enjoy a game.

I do not buy music with DRM, ever. I know how to make bit-perfect copies of CDs and DVSs, and yet I spend plenty of money on music and movies and never pirate them. DRM (meaning that if Nintendo ever goes out of business I'm out of luck and lose all my games) and lack of an account system (meaning that if something happens to my 3DS I may never get my games back) dramatically cut back the money I spend on the eShop. Without DRM I'd spend far more, and even an account system would help. If you think you can't lose everything when you're stuck with DRM, Google the Circuit City DIVX fiasco, anything you bought in that format couldn't be played after August 2001. At least with a cartridge, if I can find a system that will play it, I can play the game - I can still use my old GameBoy carts after 20 years with no worries.

No multiplayer is a deal-breaker for me. The best fun with the old DS Clubhouse Games is when I play it with the kids and grandchildren (we're commonly playing 3 and 4 player games), so I'll stick with that.

I've been playing this all the way back to the early '80s on my Atari 800. I still like the GBA version of it, and I'll pick up this 3DS version if it comes to the USA at a reasonable price.

I will buy this at its price. It's just a game, and it's not like you're killing people in it...

I'll grab the Heroes of Ruin demo, but I have all 4 Zelda GBA carts (including The Legend Of Zelda) so can play them on my DS Lite any time I want. Nothing else interests me.

I picked up Marvel Pinball to play at lunch, and will definitely pick up VVVVVV at the sale price. Also the demos.
