Nintendo has told investors at this year’s E3 event that they are currently working on a free-to-play title which will be released this fiscal year. The free-to-play title won’t be based on the Mario or Pokemon franchises and information regarding the game is understandably scarce. The free-to-play game should be available to download by March 2014.
“Nintendo free to play game will be released this fy but will not be Mario or Pokemon game as already have good relationship in those brands”

Nice, hope to hear more soon.
I agree. A free game is a free game! Hopefully it will be sooner than later!
Star Fox plz
>>star fox free
idk, never liked f2p
Yet you play Team Fortress 2…. okay
Yet you forget that it wasn’t always f2p… okay.
how the hell you know i like tf2? i never stated so on here
and yes, is an exception to the rule
Its depend on the model in my opinions.
First
Nope
Make it a new IP please.
I feel like free to play would ruin any existing franchise.
The return of Killer Instinct was pretty nullified by the announcement of it being free to play.
What killed instinct? All i saw was a mod for street fighter 4 lol.
RE-THIS!!!!!!!!
Oh burn
Yeah. because I know I would rather play $60 dollars and have to pay for characters already on the disc versus getting the game free and buy the character that I want.
O-O
somehow it will turn out much worse than that
Why, because you want it to? Ridiculous. You don’t know what it is going to turn out to. I said this yesterday. When Microsoft does F2P with KI (even before they have even announced the terms and or prices of the characters) automatically it is consider to be bad, a failure, and wrong.
Now that Nintendo say they are gonna do it , “Oh it’s lollypops and gumdrops on candy-cane lane.”
Totally transparent hypocrisy.
That’s because you don’t do it with an already big and established franchise. When I think Free 2 Play I think of games for iOS/Android or some MMORPG on the PC á MapleStory.
I never said what it will or it won’t. So your point failed. I pointed out the fact the no one knows what it will turn out to be. That is a fact. Then you followed up with your OPINION on what YOU think Free 2 Play is.
toshineon is right. You don’t turn a full retail historic fighting game into a ftp. That’s like turning MvC, SF, DOA, SC into ftps. Why would I want to play a great fighter that I don’t have the full experience because I have to buy the characters. Complete and utterly stupid. Not to mention you only get ONE character. Not two or three…ONE. So your logic is flawed
Since you’re determined to not listen to a word of what I say, I have nothing further to comment.
Star tropics mmo.
Dang I was so close to being first
?
See it being anounced tomorrow.
“Miyamoto’s beautiful world. My body is ready”
i want a real online game, like a MMORPG
Well, since Nintendo already makes so good games, I see no problems with them trying to expand their marked. Actually, I would really like to see how they can innovate the F2P genre, and hopefully not make a Pay 2 Win game! :D
F~Zero the GameCube version would be awesome.
I was thinking F-Zero as well. The ability to only pay for tracks, cups or vehicles that you want would be good as long as it was competitive in price to what a retail version would cost.
The game will be called…
Xbox Done Infinity
FPS game, shoot all the Xboxes with different guns and strategies…
Game and Wario , Wii part U….
wait a second… OMG i know what game it might be… I was watching the Monolith ‘X’ game trailers 24/7 yesterday, and one comment said that it might be an MMO game… maybe the game by Monolith is the f2p game ! That would be awesome although i love the rpg in Xenoblade…
I doubt X would be an mmo, multiplayer probably but massive multiplayer seems unlikely at best
The way its said suggests it won’t be a new IP, but I hope it will be.
the wording doesn’t seem to suggest much in the quote about what it will be, other than it wont be Mario or Pokémon, which were the 2 big candidate for free to play, so it almost seems more likely it will be a new ip
Well… it’s something free…. I guess…. better than nothing…
Way better than nothing -.-
Yay, smartphone/tablet games on my Wii U. Thats actually not a bad idea.
Well it’s not a tablet game, it’s a first party eShop game. Some F2P game are actually quite good, jus depends on their business model, and how much things cost.
as long as it’s not pay 2 win and it’s actually a good free to play like league of legends i’m okay with it. Really hope it’s a new ip would love to see what they cpuld do with a free to play ip
I Actually think it is a good idea. Having some free stuff is nice :D.
true dat :D
Hmm….
I honestly dont have a clue.
F-Zero maybe?
Hmm maybe a a F2P F-Zero made by Shin’en games? Oh wait that sounds like a good thing so Nintendo probably won’t do it.
Cooking Mama U
It could be the first-person shooter that Nintendo talked about last year.
Or it could be Super Smash Bros.
free to play only means that you WILL pay about 100 dollars for this in the end.
free to play is a very bad idea.
Not neccessarily.
F2P is an abusable business model, yes, many companies have proven that.
But, if done right, it can be good. If there’s a list of items you can buy that say added upto £30, you might only see £10 worth that have your interest, you can apply it to any game.
Also, this free-to-play game will be always-online.
ouch, very ouch.
No shit, it’s a multiplayer game, they’re always online by default.
Republicou isso em Curiosidades na internet.
these e3 moments are very exciting though……
Nintendo Fortress 2
You all know that the Free-to-Play game is out now on Wii U?
It’s Tank Tank Tank!
that is only free to play as demo-ish game (missing most content and only being able to play so much each day of it)
Maybe a new IP… or Punch out with DLC characters with their own super or…

A fantastic publish, & one which avid gamers like
me like to read day in & week out!
A motivating discussion is definitely worth comment. I believe that you ought to write more
about this subject matter, it might not be a taboo matter but generally people don’t
talk about these topics. To the next! Best wishes!!
