As if on cue, Gamesindustry.biz has posted a story claiming that game publishers will be able to offer downloadable premium content via Nintendo Wii. Apparently, Reggie Fils-Aime, president and COO of Nintendo of America, made the confirmation in an interview with US magazine, Game Informer:
"If you've gotten to a particular part in a game, we could push content out to you, so you get to battle a new boss. Maybe you get a new artifact; maybe you get a new weapon," he said.
Of course, this kind of microtransaction is a long way from delivering a whole title over broadband, but then we already know that Wii will allow users to download retro titles from Nintendo, Sega and Hudson's respective back catalogues...
You see - digital delivery is the future.
Kind of.
