Someone asked Dan Adelman of Nintendo on Twitter if it is was still true that indie developers needed an office to develop games on the eShop. Here is what Adelman said:

Ask me again in a couple weeks.

From what Adelman said it sounds like Nintendo is going to get rid of the requirement for indie developers that they need to have a physical office to be able to develop for the eShop. If this is going to happen then we may be seeing more eShop games coming out since smaller indie developers will be able to develop for it.

Nintendo Life was able to interview Dan Adelman of Nintendo and they asked him if there are plans to integrate both the 3DS and Wii u eShops. Here is what Adelman had to say:

Well we’re calling them both eShop. It’s just that one is the 3DS eShop, and the other is the Wii U eShop. Wii U users can see info in the Wii U eShop about 3DS games, but right now we don’t have any immediate plans to sell 3DS games via the Wii U eShop – or vice versa.

So there are no immediate plans to start selling 3DS games on the Wii U eShop or vice versa which means that there are no plans to combine both eShops into one right now. He does say that don’t have “immediate plans” so maybe down the line Nintendo will combine both eShops into one.

A spokesperson for Nintendo has revealed that Nintendo is not the one who chooses how many times a player can use a demo from the eShop. The spokesperson reveals that it is up to the publishers to add a certain amount of plays to the demo.

“Each publisher has the opportunity to decide how long demos will stay on the eShop, and how many times consumers can play them before they expire.” - Nintendo spokesperson
