http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2011/03/3dsware.jpg (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/03/24/nintendo-3dsware-logo-a-placeholder/)Just because a logo for a service called "3DSWare" showed up (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/03/23/nintendo-greece-outs-new-content-platform-3dsware/) on the official Nintendo Greece website, it's no indication that such a service exists. At least, that's what Nintendo told VG247 (http://www.vg247.com/2011/03/24/nintendo-3dsware-logo-simply-a-placeholder-not-a-thing/). The company said that a "technical issue" accidentally made public a "temporary logo" put together by Nintendo's Greek distributor.

"This logo is in no way related to any unannounced services or features for Nintendo 3DS," said Nintendo, "and was simply a placeholder used whilst the website underwent construction work and has since been removed."

Which means we're back to there not being a known download service for new 3DS (http://joystiq.com/tag/3ds) games -- in other words, the 3DS download service is a step back from the DSi. Why is Nintendo working so hard not to announce this, again?
