Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime took to the Internet in a new Nintendo Direct video presentation this evening, and among announcements of big new physical products like the new 3DS XL there was some interesting news for fans of the intangible side of Nintendo gaming – namely, the 3DS eShop. Reggie announced the first ever sale for the digital download destination, as Game Boy Virtual Console title Super Mario Land is having its price cut from $3.99 down to $2.99 for this weekend only.

OK, so that's not that earth-shattering. Just one dollar cheaper. But this marks the first time Nintendo's ever adjusted the price on any digital download game, so it could be a sign of similar sales to come in the future.So, what say you, eShop shoppers? Are you ready for a future of cash-saving sales? Let us know your thoughts through the comments box below.
