engadget is speculating that the new 3DS can do game installs. This is a very sketchy rumor as very few details are out there about the 3DS. But for fans who are excited after the E3 showing this may spark further interests.
Here's an interesting little tidbit from Japan's financial newspaper Nikkei. According to an article translated by andriasang.
Nintendo's 3DS (http://www.engadget.com/tag/3DS/) will be able to copy multiple games to internal memory and selected from the menu. Now, that can be interpreted in many ways. It could mean 3DS carts installing fully on the system à la Xbox 360's game install (http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/microsofts-big-new-xbox-update-makes-some-game-installs-much-m/). Another -- and we think more likely -- interpretation is that games can be downloaded via some store and saved internally. At this point, however, we don't have any details on a 3DS online marketplace, and in an interview with Joystiq, the company's in-house legend Shigeru Miyamoto wouldn't comment on compatibility with current DSiWare.
