This is what we have all been waiting for. Nintendo has finally listened to us about something...next we would like a HD attachment and a better online service. Hit the link for more details and for lazy people, check the spoiler below. KTNXBAI.

Spoiler

One big advantage the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 have against the Wii is their downloadable game updates via PlayStation Network and Xbox Live.

As the Avenue Q goes, however, that's only for now. Nintendo is sending word that they're preparing to launch the Wii Want More service for the Wii Shop Channel, enabling players to add new downloadable content for the titles they own.

To kick off the service's launch this May 13, the company will be adding new content to Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The update pack will carry four new to-be-disclosed characters, and two new stages, and will be distributed for free for the first month of Wii Want More's launch.

The pack will continue to be available after the promo for a price of US$ 10.00. We're not sure, but does this mean Sakurai-san decided to relax his stance regarding this sort of thing?

Aside from SSBB, Nintendo will also be offering additional content for 26 other games, including Twilight Princess, Fire Emblem, Metroid Prime 3, and Mario Kart Wii. And as was hinted by news from Japan, the WiiWare games will also be getting their own share of DLC via this service. That's all the details Nintendo was willing to announce for the moment. Drop by again in case we receive any more updates regarding this big news.

Was pretty damn obvious it was coming ... especialyl after the DLC for FFCC Wii in Japan.

Good to have confirmation, though ... thanks.

AYE ME HARTIES, April fools be afoot.

The story isn't true. There's nothing on Nintendo's PR site.

My understanding in the beginning was that DLC would be for WiiWare only. Quite unspectacular. But this is big...I can only imagine the speculation on who the new SSBB characters will be...

Megaman....pls god...

Edit: Oh Opium...I pray that you aren't correct...

I hadn't even thought of that...but it's only the 31st...they'd be breaking the rules...

Now all we need is Downloadable Content for RockBand. Get on this Harmonix!!! (How can they release a RockBand game without Online Play or DLC!?!

)

Isn't it too early for April's Fool?

 

[Vater Unser]

Wow, that would be so awesome...
Just imagine...a new dungeon in Zelda TP..new tracks in Mario Kart...new galaxies in Mario Galaxy...
Let's hope this isn't bogus

Don't we all lol

You can tell the story isn't true from the first two words on the headline: "Nintendo announces..."

Nintendo haven't announced anything, nor has the story linked to a source. The story is FAKE

 

[Mangofett]

Fake, Nintendo games weren't made to do patches, otherwise the Twilight Exploit would be patched now.

 

[Vater Unser]

Ah fuck that, Johnatton is right, it's probably just some jerks pulling off an early April fools joke...
Seriously, is it even technically possible to add DLC to games that weren't specifically designed for it?
Nintendo would have announced such a feature right away if it was included in games like Twilight Princess...

You heartbreaker you...I hadn't even given it a thought...nor did I know what the date was.

I feel silly now

 

[AshuraZro]

The fact that only QJ would be posting this is far more than enough. Fake and/or an idiot posted!

 

[Jax]

This is so April Fools!

C'mon guys, how would the games detect DLC if they are not already prepared?

 

[Bob Evil]

Ah well ... the dream was there, for a moment lol

Still, we know DLC is coming, as I said earlier, they have announced Pay-to-Play content for FFCC Wii, and that subscriber karaoke game ... I forget the name, at the moment.

 

[NBA Mj]

Sakurai himself confirmed there will not be any DLC for SSBB.

 

[Hadrian]

Sigh for most of this week the "user submitted news" is gonna be full of fake crap posted by people who can't tell the difference.

 

[Twiffles]

They said they would announce at E3, so anything before E3 will more than likely be false.

 

[Kiok]

People dont beleive this bull its fake. There is no way Nintendo is going TO SUPERAWESOME!!!!! to have downloadble content, espically for Brawl even when Sakuri speficly said that THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE DOWNLOADABLE CONTENT FOR BRAWL.

 

[jpxdude]

You'd have to be a fool for being duped into believing this. Nintendo's DLC service starts with the WiiWare FFCC title and goes on from there, wherever you see the RED wifi logo (pay-per-play)
