Downloadable retail games reconfirmed for Wii U launch

Nintendo has cleared up any remaining confusion about the timing of downloadable retail games on Wii U. There was a bit of doubt that this may not be ready for launch, but Satoru Iwata confirmed that the company has plans to make this feature available on day one.

Another topic raised concerns third-party releases. It appears that Nintendo hopes to see an increase in third-party downloadable retail games going forward.
