It really wouldn't fit Nintendo's main audience though. Nintendo is pretty blatant about advertising it's games and consoles for families and younger kids, making it seem like a simpler choice for people who want to buy a console for their children and not worry about it. They could pull-off an App store like that if they really wanted, but a large portion of their user-base doesn't want such an app store because they wouldn't know what to expect on it. On the other hand while the eShop, 3DS, and WiiU do have some mature titles and garbage titles, they're much easier to avoid, and the 'Nintendo-approved' first-party titles are basically guaranteed to be good buys. More importantly parents really don't have to worry about the content of Nintendo's first-party titles, which is a large reason why so many people buy them.
