Nintendo: Digital Item Transactions Coming To 3DS, Wii U  Iwata



Nintendo is preparing to bring a paid item transaction
system to both its 3DS and Wii U consoles, as a means of allowing
developers to extend the life of their releases.

Talking as part of a earnings briefing in Tokyo, and as translated by
Andriasang, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata revealed that the new
initiative will be available to 3DS developers later this year.

Iwata noted, however, that Nintendo itself will be selective when it comes to providing DLC for its own releases.

He said that the company is interested in providing extra stages and
features to its games, but wants to steer away from smaller enhancements
such as stat increases for its own games.

The Nintendo boss also mentioned the free-to-play model, again stating
that he believes such a system would damage the value of the Nintendo
3DS. He had previously said that Nintendo has "no intention" of implementing the model.

Discussing the StreetPass Mii Plaza, Iwata admitted that, as of yet,
there wasn't much to do with this particular feature of the console.

He promised that it will see new features added before the end of the
year, while more retail games will make use of the Mii characters.

Overall, Iwata noted that Nintendo is looking to increase its digital
presence over the next few years, and wants to establish its online
stores as another successful pillar in the company.
