Dev says Nintendo is looking to be less restrictive with free-to-play eShop content by reducing “review period”

Yet another example of how Nintendo is listening to developers when it comes to the eShop concerns free-to-play titles.
Jeroen Roding, from March of War studio ISOTX, told Gamasutra that the current set up has teams waiting through a “review period” to push new features. After discussing things with Nintendo, however, “they are now looking into improving this process by already allowing content to go live straight away, and reducing the ‘review period.'”
Roding told Gamasutra:
“I must say they are really helping and developing pretty rapidly to our needs. For example, for a free-to-play title, a ‘review period’ on getting new features live in the game is pretty restrictive, especially with last minute hotfixes. We have discussed this problem with our contacts at Nintendo and they are now looking into improving this process by already allowing content to go live straight away, and reducing the ‘review period.'”
This is just one quote from a new feature over at Gamasutra. The full thing contains comments from various developers about the way Nintendo can help out Wii U eShop indies.
