Retail Game Downloads Coming to 3DS and Wii U eShop

Miyamoto: 'Next Zelda Will Be A Graphical Showcase.'charizard1605

Im pretty sure the Zelda HD tech demo was a comfirmation about that :roll:

• Communities from Mario Kart will become a regular feature in Nintendo games

charizard1605

Awesome :D I love the communities. But the better question is, will certain communities be able to roll over to other games? By that I mean, since there is a SW's community for Mario Kart 7, will that same community be able to be accessed in say... the next Smash Bros for the 3DS/ Wii U?

Are they doing away with the tablet controller for a traditional controller?...............No, oh okay. *walks away from uninteresting thread*AmazonTreeBoa

It is a traditional controller though.... just with a touch screen in the middle. Also, I think there is a reason why there are usb ports in the front of the console i.e. for wired controllers/ "traditional" controllers.

I really want full D/L games onto my 3ds, I've always thought that n64 games are perfect for this, star fox and Oot should had been downloadable as well as retail.

FULL RETAIL GAMES WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD ON BOTH 3DS AND WII U ESHOP Okay Nintendo, you convinced mecharizard1605

But the question is, will it blend?

[spoiler] So then, I will be able to download say... Pikmin 3 on the Wii U and then sell it to one of my friends once Im done? I wont lie, when I read your post that I am quoting now, I squealed an unmanly squeal.:oops: [/spoiler]

I do seem to remember it being comfirmed that the Wii U would support external hard drives/usb/sd cards for memory storage. Though, this could very well mean that the Wii U will have an internal hard drive or... very large flash memory compasity.

Yay.

Cases are nice but I like being a closet nerd. I don't like having a bunch of cases laying out all over the place :P

This is what NFC can do amazing!!!

• Wii U will have unified account based system ala PSN and Xbox Live. Your account will no longer be tied to your hardware.

charizard1605

Excelent, excelent. Made 30 new email acounts for this the other day.
MONEH!!

These week has been really good for the WiiU. First it's alot more powerful than I had thought if that rumor is true, then the rumored name change, and now this. I am trying really hard to keep my hype in check but it is really hard. If everything turns out how I hope then I wont need the other consoles.

• Digital will include user to user communications and sharing. Iwata mentioned the possibility of selling your copy of digital game to a friend after being done with it.

charizard1605

Best Idea I've heard from the Big 3.

Awesome news.

So uhhh...is the investors meeting over now? Or what?

Well, I don't like to sell games to my friends, I usually just give them for free, especially if they're no use to me anymore. I hope they also let you do that.

Indeed, this could also solve the problem of used games. Maybe.

Wait, wait...

Will the 3DS also have an account System? Why did they only mention the Wii U.

And why is it still called Nintendo Network!?

Maybe they're not your "Friends", but just someone who is willing to buy your game at a cheaper price.

GamerEye

Exactly, see this doesn't get rid of the Used Game Market, but doesn't hurt the Developers either, at least I don't think, dunno. Oh well sounds like a very smart Idea.

perhaps you could sell the game to a complete stranger?

I have a feeling that this is also going to be for the 3DS as well. I mean Kid Icarus is supposed to come out on both the 3DS AND WiiU, according to Charizard anyway. What he said made it sound as if The eShop is also the WiiU's shop, So by the Time the Store Launches there would already be loads of content ready for download.

This is just awesome.My hype for the WiiU keeps on increasing.

Please Nintendo release Pikmin as a launch title. *drools

Kingpin0114

Pretty sure they are aiming for it to be a launch title. Can't wait.

Dat WiiU :o

So uh... is the meeting over?

welcome to yesteryear sheep.

I wonder if they will charge for online?

marq4porsche

I hope not.

Please don't launch it in the holidays. That would be a cluster f*ck like the Xbox 360 launch, and will end up hurting them rather than helping them.RandoIph

I don't see how it would hurt it's launch. So long has nintendo finds some way to balance the launch of the system I think it will work just fine. But, who knows.

welcome to yesteryear sheep.

rasengan2552

If tomorrow never comes, and today technically never ends, then theoretically yesterday doesn't exist.

EDIT: Therefore if yesterday doesn't exist then neither can yesteryear.

Do I see an error?

• Nintendo Network will be Nintendo's new online network across 3DS and Wii.

I think you mean Wii-U

I have to say being able to sell your DIGITAL copy used is pretty cool.GunSmith1_basic

Yeah it sounds nice, not only that, but it could potenially (assuming Nintendo/ 3rd party develops get a small % of money from the transaction) provide a solution to the problem with the used game market. If handled properly that is.

So uh... is the meeting over?

Gamingclone

Awww man it sounds awesome, but sadly I am starting college this year so I will be short on money...:(

Yeah, is it over?

If so then I'll be going to bed soon.

If not then I'll still be going to bed soon. :P

Can't stay up all night. Don't want to wake up my room mate.

Awww man it sounds awesome, but sadly I am starting college this year so I will be short on money...:(

PhazonBlazer

Yeah it sucks that college has to be so expensive :(

But oh well...

I wonder how they'll do dd games on the 3DS. I mean will they put the game on the sd card or what?

See that's the type of Solution that is acceptable, unlike Microsoft wanting to ban Used Games in general.

cain006

Could be. Or maybe they will have some "cloud" like digital storage system...who knows.

Indeed mate. Though lets not forget that them "banning" used games on the 720 or what ever it is called is only rumored :P I'm hoping they don't.

I don't know, I'm merely throwing answers out of my ass, as I don't know.
