For nylig anholdte Nintendo som bekendt deres kvartalsmøde med diverse investorer, og her afslørede de at vi kan se frem til mere DLC fra Nintendo generelt, og at de ønsker at understøtte deres store spil i længere tid med ekstra indhold.
Dette er der mange der er interesserede i at høre mere om, og nu er der blevet oversat en særlig Q&A med Shuntaro Furukawa, hvor han uddyber firmaets nu ændrede position på området.
"Titles like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Super Mario Odyssey are what we call "hardware drivers" in that consumers are very often interested in buying these titles when making a new hardware purchase. Titles released already in the previous fiscal years remain capable of driving hardware sales. The key is to figure out what makes these titles appealing, and how we can get consumers to understand that appeal. Going forward, we plan to incorporate add-on content and other factors that will keep these titles in the spotlight, so they will continue to sell alongside the hardware. We take the value of software very seriously. What we want with our evergreen titles is to maintain their values as long as possible without lowering the prices."
I det hele taget lader det til at Nintendo overvejer noget lig live-elementer, eller om ikke andet en måde hvorpå at fastholde forbrugerens interesse i et givent spil i længere tid.
