“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?
