See, the comment came from someone at NoE. NoA, after that, responded with
the following"Games and services offered by Nintendo can vary by region. Nintendo of America will release additional information about Nintendo eShop, including timing, content and pricing, at a later date." - Nintendo's Charlie Scibetta
They wouldn't go out of their way to say that unless they were thinking the service may not be available at launch in America. More like, probably not. Sure will in Europe, though!
