Nintendo isconsideringautomaticallydownloadeddemos for the3DS
breaking news
In an effort to increase
the awareness of games
that may otherwise
remain out of the
spotlight, Nintendo is
considering a feature
that would automatically
send game demos to your
Nintendo 3DS. The idea is
that you’d opt-in to this
service and without
further interaction you
would receive the
content.
Here’s how Satoru Iwata
explains it:
When Nintendo would
like to ask users to try a
specific new game, we
should deliver it to their
Nintendo 3DS, and
possibly Wii U, with their
prior consent and
recommend that they
just try it and, if they like
it, they can pay for it. In
this way, we need to
introduce users to
unknown products.
…and then explaining
why this would exist:
Consumers are likely to
be convinced to pay
about 5,000 yen for a
well-established
franchise product, but
not all the people are
willing to pay a certain
amount of money for an
innovative but unknown
product. Now is the time
to prepare for these
situations.
That sounds good to me.
Granted, I’d be happy
with demos in general.
The automatic feature
just makes it that little
bit extra convenient
though.
