Holy shit, this is all coming out of nowhere
Well the comment about digital pricing is sort of disappointing. I think the "problem" of digital sales should be left up to Gamestop to solve. It's their business model that relies upon it, afterall. Maybe they need to provide something extra to the consumer, other than harassment about preorders and selling your used games.

Wait.. Is this talking about a sellback market for digital games?
That sounds.... Highly unlikely.

Retail titles on the eShop? Fuck yeah.
DS titles being put up would probably be too much to ask for though, wouldn't it?

I think it's more a statement that they don't want to participate in the App Store race-to-the-bottom approach.

They're taking medium competition into account? Seriously? This is not real life.

I strongly disagree, but to each his own.
It should (in theory at least) be possible for the location to be determined by NFC. NFC has pretty high signal attenuation, so if they put perhaps three or four NFC antennae in there it should be able to triangulate the position well enough. I'm just speculating, though, I haven't actually seen such a thing implemented anywhere yet.

or i could enter the details once and then i just have to click the BUY button so i don't have to go scrambling for my credit card each time
Which you can do on the 3DS, as it is.

Maybe we can buy them with those play coins.

Wrong reading of it imo...
they're saying once people get fed up of the game, they can release packs of new content. Which would be great!
I'd rather they give me some new Mario Kart tracks than release another Mario Kart in the same generation. Or once I've beaten every level on a Mario platformer and unlocked every thing... I'd be totally cool with them providing some extra content say six months down the line to make me go back.

J Allard to be new president of Nintendo after Iwata launched off the ejection seat. Velocity Girl to head NoA.

New Tweet
Hm, that could be true. But the way the tweet is phrased is all about comparing digital prices to retail prices, and the only way digital sales wouldn't "cannibalize" retail sales is if it was priced similarly.

Pokemon Figurines for their new MMO.
Suck my left nut, Nintendo. Paid DLC can die in a fire. Keep making bonus shit unlockable like you always have.
Yoshi Armor - 200 U-coins.
Yeah but if Nintendo do it you bet they'll make it more interesting than only "Give us yo moneez". Unlock them with coins earned from your 3DS pedometer. Unlock with coins earned from Club Nintendo, or just playing their games.

That sounds quite good, it it means free reign for DLC and F2P.

"We should not decline 3rd parties if they want to offer item billing"

It means you'll get the bad with the good, but I'd rather have both than neither.

"As a software maker, Nintendo believes that its packaged software should be sold to our consumers in a form so that the consumers will know in advance that they can enjoy playing the software they purchased just as it is. We believe that our consumers will be able to feel more secure if we offer our add-on content as an additional structure in which those who love the game will be able to enjoy it in a deeper way for a prolonged play time. "
Sounds like they wont have any dlc that makes it that you have to buy the dlc.

3rd parties rejoice!

Nintendo will not do this. If third parties want to, they can, but I refuse to believe Nintendo will do this with their titles.
By item billing they're talking MMOs, right?
Need to get that boat going steady.
That sounds very likely, and it might play a role in Miyamoto's new IP. What better way to introduce a new mascot than through a figurine tie in? Nintendo going straight for parents' wallets.

Yes because there has never ever been good DLC in the history of ever.

What is with Nintendo and their investor announcements? I swear the investor's meeting announcements have been better than E3 for the past 3 years.

So (potentially) instead of having a game like Super Mario Galaxy 2 next gen, we will get levels added through DLC.... interesting.
Well, isn't New Super Mario Bros Mii going to be NSMB3? It already seems to be lined up, unless it's been unexpectedly canned.

I can see Mario karts being paid, and characters and skins being paid in games like MK and Smash Bros.
