Fire Emblem 3DS getting paid downloadable content in March, DLC also coming to Wii U
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments
The first 3DS game to make use of paid downloadable content will be Fire Emblem, according to Nikkei. The site states that Nintendo is looking toward March 2012 to begin paid DLC, which likely means that Fire Emblem will be released during the same month. Players will be able to use credit cards or prepaid cards to purchase new items.
As far as third-parties go, publishers will be able to incorporate paid downloadable content in Summer 2012.
Wii U will also be getting its own share of paid downloadable content, though further details were not provided.
We may hear more about Nintendo’s future DLC plans and Fire Emblem 3DS during the Nintendo Direct presentation later today.

AllThingsD has published a new interview with Nintendo of America president Reggie-Fils Aime. Fils-Aime was quizzed on Black Friday sales and how the Wii continues to break records, social gaming, his thoughts on the free-to-play model, and more.
Interestingly, he said that Nintendo will experiment with other forms of monetization, though he wouldn’t really elaborate about what the company may have in store. Reggie also slipped in some quick talk about the Wii U, in which he said that “it will speak to a different consumer than the one that is buying the Wii today during the holidays.”
Head past the break for all of Reggie’s remarks.
Rumor: Square Enix announcing Final Fantasy XV at E3 2012, will come to Wii U
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U | 0 comments
It’s been a very, very long time since a mainline Final Fantasy game came to a Nintendo home console. But if GamesMaster UK is to be believed, the situation will change with Final Fantasy XV.
The magazine claims that Square Enix will hold a press conference at E3 2012. During the event, they’ll announce Final Fantasy XV for Wii U, as well as the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.
This is just speculation at this point. Magazine rumors tend to be hit or miss, so take this with a grain of salt.
