This comes once again from Reggie Fils-Aime…

“Absolutely not [forgot about WiiConnect24]. What was important for us was to get today’s announcement out in terms of how you could store more content on the Wii. And essentially, with the high capacity SD card, there’s now up to 32 gigs of additional storage capacity on the Wii. With that, you can start to expect more WiiWare, more virtual content…You know, there will always be first party WiiWare content but again we see that as a key third-party, small developer opportunity.”

This comes from the extended interview with President and COO of Nintendo of America Reggie Fils-Aime on Gametrailers TV.

“On this particular game, we are not [doing DLC]. I’m certain that there will be opportunities for that down the road, but, really for us…Mr. Iwata has said this many times…the way we look at our first party is a way to drive the install base of the hardware. That’s what we’re trying to do. That coupled with downloadable content isn’t as great a match, but I’m certain there will be some opportunities down the road with downloadable content from a Nintendo perspective, just not on Punch-Out.”

I’m not too upset that Punch-Out!! will not support DLC. It’s pretty interesting to see what Reggie had to say regarding DLC in the future though…Could we see Nintendo take a more active role in that department with future games?

A rumor popped up a few weeks ago that Nintendo’s upcoming Wii MotionPlus peripheral would come with a forced glove. Unlike the Wii controller itself, MotionPlus would ship with a tacked on sleeve and owners would be unable to remove it.

The Nintendo of Europe press release highlights images of Wii MotionPlus and, as you can see below, it looks as though the add-on will unfortunately arrive with the forced protection.
