Nintendo Free-To-Play Game Will Be Released This Fiscal Year

Nintendo_eShop

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.

  1. 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.

    1. 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

        1. 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.

          1. 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.

            1. 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.

              1. 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

  2. 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

  3. The game will be called…

    Xbox Done Infinity

    FPS game, shoot all the Xboxes with different guns and strategies…

  4. 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…

    1. I doubt X would be an mmo, multiplayer probably but massive multiplayer seems unlikely at best

    1. 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

    1. 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.

  5. 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

    1. 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.

  8. 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!!
