Correct me if I'm wrong but those require an internet connection, right? I think Nintendo can't use online codesigning because (certain?) game carts have firmware upgrades that the game itself requires. Nintendo wants the user to be able to install those firmware upgrades offline, like if some kid plays a game for the first time on a road trip or plane ride.
