Reggie: 'Geen DLC omdat we complete ervaring aanbieden'
Nintendo of Americas Reggie Fils-Aimee heeft gezegd dat Nintendo geen downloadable content aanbiedt, zolang het geen extensie wordt van de al complete, geleverde ervaring.
"We’re interested in it to the extent that it makes sense to the consumer”, zegt Fils-Aime. “I’ve had this conversation with a number of our key developers, and their mentality is, ‘Reggie, when we sell a game, we want the consumer to feel that they’ve had a complete experience."
"Now, in addition, if we want to make other things available, great, and we’ll look at that. But we’re unwilling to sell a piece of a game upfront and, if you will, force a consumer to buy more later. That’s what they don’t want to do, and I completely agree. I think the consumer wants to get, for their money, a complete experience, and then we have opportunities to provide more on top of that.”
Verscheidene titels op Nintendos platformen hebben al gratis downloadable content gekregen en met de aankomende systeemupdate voor Nintendos nieuwste is het ook mogelijk om dat traject voort te zetten op de 3DS.
"In terms of what the next system update will allow, it will allow developers to sell add-on content, and whether that’s for a physical game or a digitally released game. In terms of how it will work, it’s up to the developer whether they want to make it to buy new levels, new items – all of that is up to their imagination. Essentially, what we’re doing is creating the framework for those transactions to happen."
