Nintendo president Satoru Iwata shared a few more details about the 3DS’ November system update during a Q&A session with investors on Friday. Iwata provided investors with the following information:

– Iwata clarified that “add-on content” means both add-on content and an item-based billing system
– November update will allow for micro payments to buy items and add-on content directly within a game
– Iwata on Nintendo’s DLC plans: “Nintendo will also likely next year in some form do this [offer add-on content], in a form that would receive support from the customers.”
– Iwata reminded us of the Q&A session from Nintendo’s July earnings briefing, where he’d mentioned as an example add-on stages that were developed with full creative force
– Iwata has been hearing that third-parties are planning on using the new transaction system early next year
– He called this system “the new Nintendo e-Shop framework”
– Nintendo has no plans to offer item-transaction titles like the ones found on social networks
– Iwata on Smartphones/SNS as promotional tools: Nintendo announced the Nintendo Direct presentation two days before its broadcast on Twitter; viewership was on the magnitude of hundreds of thousands

TSSZ News claims to have details on the first Sonic game for Wii U, Sonic Dimensions.
