Nintendo says indie devs are working on free-to-play games for the eShop
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 3 Comments
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.”

New downloadable content is coming to Star Wars Pinball. The “Balance of the Force” tables see the arrival of three new themes: Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi, Starfighter Assault and a tribute table based on the notorious Darth Vader.

Aid Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Princess Leia, Lando Calrissian, R2-D2, and C-3PO in their fight against the Sith in order to restore peace to the galaxy.
Pay tribute to the Dark Lord of the Sith in a table dedicated to Darth Vader. Use the dark side of the Force to mercilessly pursue the Jedi and Rebel Alliance and face off with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker.
Support the Rebel Alliance’s Fleet or the Galactic Empire’s Armada, as you lead your side to victory in Star Warsโข: Starfighter Assault. The table features legendary Starfighters like the X-wing and TIE Fighter, and iconic vessels like the Millennium Falcon and the Death Star II.
