It would seem that Nintendo Greece has inadvertently confirmed that the 3DS will indeed feature a downloadable game service called 3DSWare (http://joystiq.com/tag/3dsware). The news comes via Nintendo Greece's website (http://www.nintendo.gr/el-gr/ProductIntro.aspx?ElementId=257bcd01-ade5-4363-901a-d5f67b73c2c6), which displays a logo for 3DSWare amongst the WiiWare and DSiWare logos. Unsurprisingly, the 3DSWare section currently has no titles listed.
Previously, the name '3DSWare' had been trademarked (http://www.joystiq.com/2010/05/18/nintendo-registers-several-3ds-trademarks-in-japan/) by Nintendo, though it has never been officially mentioned by the company. In fact, earlier this month, Nintendo's senior director of corporate communications, Charlie Scibetta, wouldn't confirm to Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/03/04/almost-all-dsiware-games-available-at-3ds-eshop-launch-transfer/) that such a service existed, much less that it had a name. Of course, that hasn't stopped Rovio from announcing yet another port of Angry Birds (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/02/05/angry-birds-also-flying-to-3ds/) for it.
