Nintendo Investor Meeting [Nintendo 1st Party DLC, NSMB3DS, NiN, Info In OP]

Any recent leaks as to how much internal storage there is? Last I heard was the leak before E3 '11 which said 8GB. With all this DLC hype, one would think that they've upped that number significantly.

Really excited for new 2d mario 3ds and the possibility of downloading retail games though in store discounts will always win out.

The 3DS would need to able to do NFC as well. I don't think the 3DS's wireless abilities include anything more than WiFi support. I could be wrong, though!


Also of note, you can use NFC for quick bluetooth pairing.
I also wonder if the NFC chips are gonna be in the tablet or the console body. It could be both to make pairing between them a snap.

Sounds like it's in the tablet.
 
From the slideshow:

As for the download sales of add-on content for packaged software, it is expected that “THEATRHYTHM FINAL FANTASY,” which is scheduled to be launched on February 16 by Square Enix Co., Ltd. is going to be the first software title for which applicable music will be sold by Square Enix as downloadable add-on content.

Nintendo Revelaitons and Megatons - summary so far

Wii U:
  • User accounts: Wii U will have individual user accounts, rather than one system-wide account.
  • Near Field Communication ("touch" data transmission from accessories, credit cards, etc) will be built-in.

3DS:
  • Nintendo considering DLC, mentions "Super Mario" as an example:
    "If a Super Mario user gets tired, we can then sell digital extras which will drive extra revenue, encourage higher communication amongst users, and possible increased satisfaction and hardware install bases."
  • NSMB3DS: Planning to release a totally new side-scrolling action Super Mario in 2D as a key title for the Nintendo 3DS in the next fiscal year.
  • "Path to profits is improve 3DS and focus on software. Super Mario titles will drive a lot of profitability."
  • 200 3DS titles in development
  • 60% of 3DS users have connected to the Internet; wants to expand digital offering, but at "infant stage" now.
  • Because of the success of Swapnote, Nintendo is considering other strategies to benefit from this social behaviour.

General:
  • This will be Nintendo's worst financial year, but Iwata thinks the company can reach break-even on 3DS hardware in Q3 of this year.
  • "We should not decline third parties if they want to offer item billing."
  • "Digital will include user to user communications and sharing" (More social networking integration? More Swapnote-like apps? More emphasis on Streetpass/Spotpass?).
  • Still planning to offer DLC (possibly talking about their own software), but needs more time to complete its feasibility study on the market and its needs.
  • Nintendo has learnt that it shouldn't have stagnant periods between software launches: can fill the gap, and digital can extend the life of a title.

Also the bit about the 3DS already supporting digital downloads of retail titles (as does Wii U), but they haven't decided when to implement it.
 
"This calendar year will announce several alliances/partnerships with external parties, previously not considered"

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FEEL ABOUT THAT STATEMENT!!
 
Seems clear no Wii U blowout at all until E3, which in my mind rules out a Summer/Fall launch.

But how many of them are developed by WarioWare, Inc.?

Level DLC please. That could work out very well.

For a while I've thought one of the most obvious and simple Nintendo franchise DLC possibilities would be expanding on the Mario Kart retro tracks. Now that there are so many past games, having a selection of 16 retro tracks doesn't cover a lot. People would probably be willing to pay for another set of 16 remade by a C-team, or something like a complete set of tracks from one of the previous games.
