Reports have
given indications that Nintendo may be offering all of its titles for download
for its soon-to-be-released Nintendo Wii U game console.
Apparently
the company aims to offer more access to its game titles to game enthusiasts
for its upcoming Nintendo Wii U. Currently, the company is offering developers
the capability of downloading all the games for the upcoming game console in
order to increase its appeal. The source of the report has reportedly been in
contact with a developer in Europe who has offered accurate information in
connection to the Nintendo Wii U.
The
developer reportedly indicated that Nintendo was offering a number of
incentives for publishers such as downloading to the console in order to sell
its games. The Wii U eShop will reportedly offer the games for downloading.
Nintendo
reportedly mentions the eShop on the Nintendo Wii U website as the digital
storefront that will become available once the game console enters the market.
However it does not give indications that all the games will be available for
download through the eShop although it has indicated that users some games for
the Nintendo Wii U that are offered through retail outlets will also be
available for purchase and download through the eShop.
The absence
of a clear-cut digital strategy has been one of the criticisms that Nintendo
received in the past. Although the company has reportedly offered Nintendo Wii
titles for download and videos can be streamed through Netflix, it still has to
offer a digital strategy similar to its competition. However Nintendo has
reportedly indicated that digital will be a major component for its strategy
for the Nintendo Wii U.
In addition
to game play, the company also revealed that YouTube, Amazon Instant Video,
Hulu Plus, and Netflix will be accessible through the Nintendo Wii U. For the
moment the company has not made any statements in connection to the reports on
the availability of all the games for download for the game console.
