Nintendo Wii: Shigeru Miyamoto Isn’t A Fan Of DLC

Shigeru Miyamoto has denounced the value of digital distribution, claiming he feels more comfortable with the prospect of physical media rather than downloadable.

Personally, I’m one of those guys who, even if I have all the songs from iTunes, I want the CD as well. I feel more reassured with that physical media. Entertainment is something that will not just become digital. If I look at Wii MotionPlus, this is something that you’re not doing via digital distribution. The thing for us is we really don’t see the future of video games being merely confined to digital distribution or moving solely or even to a majority of our products being distributed that way.
