Reggie once again says Nintendo may have future E3 conferences, Nintendo Direct “very powerful”, actively talking with third-parties
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
Nintendo of America Reggie Fils-Aime has once again said that the company could choose to hold conferences at future E3 events. For 2013, Nintendo felt that using a Nintendo Direct was the best approach based on the content they had.
“Next year and what we do at E3 next year is going to be an ongoing conversation, based on what the right thing to do is for the content we have. What we are not saying as a result of this year is that the Nintendo press conference is dead.”
“This year, we have a parade of content that once you get your hands on it, you say to yourself I gotta get this game and I mean think about it. We have all of these playable games on our floor and most of them are coming out this holiday season, three are coming in 2014. “

Aonuma thinking about DLC for Zelda
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories | 0 comments
The Legend of Zelda series has never received major downloadable content. But bringing DLC to the franchise that producer Eiji Aonuma appears to be mulling over.
Aonuma recently said that Nintendo could offer “more places to explore”. On the other hand, the company could simply look “to enrich the experience beyond what is on the disc.” If Nintendo were to make DLC for a Zelda game, it would need to be something worthwhile for players.
We’re certainly looking at different ways to add on content that would enhance the experience for the user – maybe more places to explore or just to enrich the experience beyond what is on the disc. But we also have to take into consideration that if we charge for this content then it needs to be worth it for the user.
So it’s certainly a balancing an act, but I can’t say that it is something we’re not considering.
