Reggie: No DLC for Punch-Out!! but there will be opportunities for Nintendo in the future
April 14th, 2009 Posted in News, Posted by Valay, WiiThis comes from the extended interview with President and COO of Nintendo of America Reggie Fils-Aime on Gametrailers TV.
“On this particular game, we are not [doing DLC]. I’m certain that there will be opportunities for that down the road, but, really for us…Mr. Iwata has said this many times…the way we look at our first party is a way to drive the install base of the hardware. That’s what we’re trying to do. That coupled with downloadable content isn’t as great a match, but I’m certain there will be some opportunities down the road with downloadable content from a Nintendo perspective, just not on Punch-Out.”
I’m not too upset that Punch-Out!! will not support DLC. It’s pretty interesting to see what Reggie had to say regarding DLC in the future though…Could we see Nintendo take a more active role in that department with future games?

Zelda with DLC, that’s all that needs to be said lol, imagine new dungeons to DL after you beat the game to extend longevity of the game with new weapons etc !

I have always disliked DLC. Games with DLC make me feel like I am buying an incomplete game. Now if the content was released a while after the release to peak interest like an expansion pack then I would like DLC. Usually DLC is released along with the product like it should have came with the game.
I just find it as a way to sell the game in a more expensive manor.

I agree DLC should be free !

Every Wii game is an incomplete game. It’s either a GC port or shovelware. Have fun spending $50 on this game that has no online or updates. It’s pathetic.
