Nintendo has reiterated interest in encouraging indies to bring free-to-play games to the eShop. In an interview with GameSpot, manager of business development Dan Adelman said:

“Free-to-play is something that’s relatively new to us, and we allow it and we’ve got some games in the pipeline that are planning on supporting that.”

Continuing on the idea of new business models we haven’t seen previously, Adelman spoke about Nintendo’s openness when it comes to new ideas:

“Oh, definitely open to ideas. And we’ve already got a long list of things we’d like to support and we’re developing out the back-end to put those hooks in and make it more flexible. Nothing specific to announce right now. But there’s a dedicated team in Japan right now that’s working on building out the functionality, so as we hear about new ideas, new things that people want to do, we want to be able to respond very quickly to those opportunities.”

The boxart is a bit blurry – we enlarged the image so that it could actually be seen. We’ll be getting a larger (and therefore clearer) image soon I imagine, but this will do for now.

One interesting note: Super Mario 3D World’s boxart has the Nintendo Network logo. I wonder what that means for the game…

Thanks to Tim for the tip.


Monster Hunter 4 seems to be filled with cross-overs. In addition to Nintendo tie-ins, it’s been revealed that the game will feature a collaboration with the Silver Spoon anime series. Capcom will make the the Silver Spoon available – a hunting horn weapon that can be used in the game.
