3DS gets DLC.

[Dublinthefox]

The next update coming to the 3DS is going to allow downloadable content.

Nintendo President of America, Reggie Fils-Aime confirmed the ability to sell downloaded add-ons, but it clarifies that its up to developers if they want to use it at all. He states that they are simply creating the framework for the option to do so. He also goes on to reassure that Nintendo would make sure their own games are a complete experience.

Nintendo wants any DLC from themselves to be supplemental, rather than with held from the full game, which is great to hear from Nintendo, but I don't think 3DS owners are concerned about DLC. I'm pretty sure we just want any game to come out for it.

Wouldn't mind seeing something for RE Mercenaries. New characters and weapons mayhaps.

Good to see Nintendo is getting with the program of DLC.

Not sure why people like DLC all that much, however. Much prefer games to take the Dark Souls approach, where they have zero plans for DLC as they will not release a game until they feel it is complete.

That's one thing I dislike about Bethesda, they make games planning for DLC and with the ideas for them already in mind, rather that putting those ideas in the vanilla game. They'd rather make an incomplete game and make you pay for the missing pieces.
