NOW - I know Sprint's got it...but it's not like we'll be talking about Sprint up in here.

You know...I think what Nintendo really wants...is not people emphasizing the network part...but just the Nintendo part.

Hey I am going home to play Nintendo....it doesn't matter online or offline.  Or you text your hey you wanna play Nintendo 4 swords...and it means of course online.

Digital Distribution of Retail 3DS & Wii U Games: Need Ideas

“…we already have the necessary infrastructure to digitally distribute the software on a scale as large as the packaged software. We can start it as soon as we decide to do so.�

“As for the actual digital distribution method, we need to consider what kind of cooperation we can make with wholesalers and retailers, but we think that there must be various solutions other than just positioning digital distribution as an enemy to them. Upon close consultation with them, we would like to determine the details of our digital distribution.�

"…there must be a solution other than positioning digital distribution as an enemy to wholesalers and retailers."  - Satoru Iwata



This is of key importance. Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem? Are there any other companies out there that are already implementing a solution to this? This problem is all that's standing in our way of getting to download retail games right now. The sooner this gets solved, the sooner we get to stop lugging our physical carts around with us everywhere.

Here’s an idea just to get the ball rolling:

Allow the retailers to sell download codes or items, such as figures or cards, which use NFC to act as download codes. This way, retailers can also sell the digital versions of the retail games. I do not think it would be fair to Nintendo if the retailers were the only ones allowed to sell the digital content, though. Nintendo should still be able to sell the digital versions of the retail games directly from the eShop on the 3DS and Wii U. The price of the digital versions should be lower than the physical versions, but that is ok because the retailers can still sell the cheaper digital versions anyway. Just make sure that the prices of the digital versions are still the same from the retailer and from Nintendo’s eShop. Are you listening Nintendo? I want digital retail games ASAP! Please & Thank you.
 
P.S. I like NTN or NiNet for the abbreviation of The Nintendo Network Service.

Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen.

That is a nice call.

It is going to make buying from the internet absolute cake for people who don't use credit cards.  You pick up a little figurine in the store put it on the controller and you are done.  No numbers to punch and you actually get something you can keep.  I'll probably get a few online games instead of retail just to have the little guy it is sold with.

Its is going to be a huge hit.  Skylanders style stuff everywhere.

What role does Nintendo Network play on the 3DS? It's supposed to do away with friend codes, yet the 3DS has them still. The online games so far have no form of matchmaking, game invites, friend requests, etc. Can Nintendo add these features to the 3DS in the future?


Why put the Nintendo Network logo on 3DS games if they don't represent what the service has to offer?

Because the Nintendo Network hasn't been officially launched yet. We all know it's going to include a centralized  account and be accessible online(I think). ATM Nintendo Network is just a rebrand of NWFC but it will eventually include far more.
