I have recently noticed that the European and the US eShop have significantly different offers (special deals, virtual console, etc.) so I was wondering how many regional eShops there are.
While we’re at it: Apart from the offers, are there other differences, e.g. prices, types of content?
Btw this information can be useful for people who live in countries in which the eShop isn’t provided at all (in my case, Croatia) and who have to pick a different country in order to “unlock” eShop access.
Official there are 27:
There isn't any list of things that are different, also because that varies way too much with time. From wikipedia again:
In spite of the fact that all global PAL version Nintendo eShop users have access to identical hardware and servers, content availability does vary between local versions of the eShop in European and Oceanian continents due to legal reasons and differences in localisation entities.
In general you can say something like this from gamefaqs:
General - Affected by Region
Japan
North America
But I thought for example that Germany will get a different Rating for Bayonetta 2 (although for WiiU) then the rest of EU. And so there will be many more little differences that can change, especially the price.
