Nintendo are normally rather shy about releasing figures for its download services, even going as far as to ban developers from making public what they made. However Nintendo have revealed some sales figures for the 3DS eshop.

A report from Forecasting and Analyzing Digital Entertainment estimates that $11.1m were spent on digital 3DS titles, encompassing remakes from Virtual Console and 3D Classics and original 3DSWare titles.

Surprisingly the most popular game was The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, originally a GameBoy and GameBoy Color game which was downloaded 338,700 times and generated $2.3m, according to CVG.
