Nintendo is doing everything it can to make buying downloadable content on the Wii U easy as pie. Since the Kyoto-based game maker has said on numerous occasions that its DLC will add to the experience, Iâm not so worried about Nintendoâs approach. Itâs the other game makers that concern me.

ââŠWe have a belief that our games should be a trusted brand for a very wide variety of consumers, including children and casual users who are not so familiar with the trends of video games,â said Iwata. âTherefore, we would like to have regulations with a certain degree of strictness so that consumers will get a sense of reassurance from our games.â
Phew! Too often I feel like game developersânot necessarily Ubisoftâare allowed to run hog-wild with DLC and DLC pricing. While it often feels like Nintendo oversanitizes everything and babies its customers, this is one instance where rules with âa certain degree of strictnessâ are more than welcomed.
