Amazon.com has opened their new Nintendo Digital Downloads
As you browse this page, you will likely end up on the individual pages for various games. For games that are available on physical media like Wii U game discs or 3DS game cartridges, you have the option to order a physical copy of the game, or instead order a digital download code that will allow you to download the game in question from the Nintendo eShop (on the appropriate Nintendo system of course). Amazon’s Nintendo Digital Downloads page may not be as extensive as the Nintendo eShop itself, but it still has a fairly extensive selection of games available to browse already, and it will probably expand over time. Some games are cheaper if you get them digitally, while others may be the other way around. So you’ll want to pay attention to those prices as you browse the available games.
So in short, you can do your Nintendo eShop shopping on Amazon.com now if you already do a lot of shopping on their site. Just remember that for now it is mostly populated with first-party Nintendo games so you might have trouble finding third party titles on it for the time being. This will likely change over time as Amazon’s Nintendo Digital Downloads hub expands, though.
