Topic: Nintendo supports free-to-play model

[MrPhishfood]

I was a little interested about this when I heard it. I've played a few F2P games on PC, most of them being trash because I hate being nudged/pushed in to paying. I have paid money in to these games but only in ones that don't have a pay-to-win element like Tribes: Ascend and Gotham City Imposters.

Here's the quote from Satoru Iwata:
"And because of that, we have prepared a Digital Rights Management system. We have designed the system from a technical standpoint to allow developers to freely take advantage of things like free-to-play and microtransactions."

Up until recently Ghost Recon Online which is currently playable on PC was due for a Wii U release too. Ubisoft however shifted all focus to the PC version because frankly it was severely lacking in content. Only 4 maps and 2 game modes! Its a good game by the way just really slow progression, but tactical team play is king.

I find this interesting because with the Wii U pad even PC games could be accomodated for. We could see the likes of Guild Wars 2 and Team Fortress 2 on there. It would certainly be easier selecting which disguise for the spy to use on a touch screen than with a keyboard/controller.

I'm intrigued by them as well.  I may actually pick up Guild Wars 2 if it was on the Wii U (as long as it connected to the PC servers as well).
