Nintendo Changes Their Stance On DLC

DLC is a big part of games, it offers more gameplay for a game to keep players happy and helps build a strong relationship between consumers and companies, Nintendo doesn't believe in that thought. Nintendo believes that DLC actually hurts the relationship, but their view might be changing.

Satoru Iwata answered a question during a Q&A session in Tokyo about possible DLC in which Iwata has said that they currently are working on a paid item transaction system for the 3DS and Wii U; 3DS DLC will be available to developers at the end of this year.

It's not for sure if Nintendo will be using DLC for their games, but this system is mainly aimed at third party developers.

Catherine Hidden Content Reveals It Could Have Been On The PC

VG-Resources took their time to go looking through their discs of Catherine just to see what they could find, and they did find some pretty interesting stuff. Some hidden content, like unused cellphone pictures and a picture with PC controls.

Obviously Atlus has some sort of plans for their PC, but why would they scrap their plans, why not have Catherine on the PC also? Maybe Atlus with eventually port the game over. The unused images reveals unused character select screens and cellphone pictures that were never used in the game.

Street Fighter X Tekken Might Be Possible For 3DS

 
Yoshinori Ono, Street Fighter producer, has revealed that a Street Fighter X Tekken might be possible for the 3DS as he shares his interest in the handheld with this statement:

“It’s possible. For the 3DS, I wanted to do an [Super Street Fighter IV:] Arcade Edition version, but I haven’t had a chance to do that because of all the other things I’m up to. At the company, we’re debating should we go for an AE port on 3DS? Should we skip that and go straight to Street Fighter x Tekken? There are a lot of things up in the air, so I can’t say for sure what our next 3DS project will be.”

Retailers Selling 3DS Cheaper Than Price Cut

This past few days have been a rough time for Nintendo and their 3DS. First the 3DS gets a price cut, then they lose over $300 million and now retailer in Japan are selling the 3DS for cheaper than the intended price cut.

The price drop for the 3DS doesn't take affect until August 11th, but some retailers didn't seem to get the message. The original price for a 3DS is 25,000 yen and is planned to go down to 15,000 yen, but some stores are selling them for as low as 13,800 yen.

If you have a 3DS, make sure to get your free twenty NES and Game Boy Advance games available to download on the Nintendo e-Shop before August 11th. Nintendo explains the Ambassador (that's the name Nintendo is giving people who have had their 3DS before the price cut) status:

"These free games are available to anyone who owns a Nintendo 3DS system and uses a wireless broadband Internet signal to connect to the Nintendo eShop at least once before 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on Aug. 11. These users will automatically be registered in the Nintendo 3DS Ambassador program. The program contains two elements: 

1. Starting Sept. 1, Nintendo 3DS Ambassadors will be able to download 10 NES Virtual Console games at no charge and before they are available in the Nintendo eShop to the general public. These games, including Super Mario Bros, Donkey Kong Jr., Balloon Fight, Ice Climber and The Legend of Zelda, are slated to become paid downloadable games, but Ambassadors get them early for free. Once the paid versions of the games are posted to the Nintendo eShop later in the year, the updated versions will be available to Ambassadors for download at no cost
2. By the end of 2011, Nintendo will provide Ambassadors with 10 Game Boy Advance Virtual Console games. These include games like Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Metroid Fusion, WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$ and Mario vs. Donkey Kong. These games will be available exclusively to Ambassadors, and Nintendo currently has no plans to make these 10 games available to the general public on the Nintendo 3DS in the future" 

Poor Nintendo, things are not going very well for them. Hopefully they'll be able to recover from this, I'm pretty sure they will.

GameStop UK Offers Batman Beyond Skin

I originally posted about Arkham City's new skin - Batman Beyond from an ad in Spanish and couldn't find out if it was from a specific retailer or what. I finally found out where you can get the skin with your purchase of Batman: Arkham City.

GameStop UK will be offering the exclusive Batman Beyond skin for those who decide to buy it from them. This is the third skin wearable for Batman, next to The Dark Knight Rises and Legacy skin which can be used during Challenge Maps.

Notice how I said GameStop UK, of all the articles I'm reading they specifically state that it's only for GameStop UK; I'm not sure if this will come to the states or not, but I really hope so.

Pre-Purchasing Dust Gives You A Hat

Valve is at it again with giving players the ability to obtain a wearable item for Team Fortress 2, this time it's with the pre-order of Dust on Steam.

The Genuine Mask of the Shaman is what you'll be getting with the pre-order that's only wearable by the Demoman. It really is a weird looking mask but I wouldn't mind having it and it's also paintable.
