Additional Content For StreetPass Mii Plaza Surpasses Over 200,000 Downloads

StreetPass Mii Plaza has recently came back into our lives with a bang on the 3DS. During E3, Nintendo sent out a series of special Mii’s to users across the world – President Satoru Iwata and Mario Kart designer Hideki Konno to name a couple. But the company also released new content for StreetPass Mii Plaza, which has included a series of mini-games as paid downloadable content. In a recent question and answer session during an investors meeting, Iwata revealed that the expansion of StreetPass Mii Plaza was the product of a year-long preparation. But even though the mini-games have only been available for just over two weeks, Iwata says they have surpassed over 200,000 downloads.

“As you pointed out, we only started distributing those new games a week ago, but already more than two hundred thousand consumers had purchased at least one out of those four games by last Sunday. We employed no mass-media advertising so we think we are off to a good start. I think that products like these ones will provide new business opportunities for Nintendo in the future. I take it that you are very satisfied with our new games, and we feel that if our consumers determine that the price of a particular game that we offer matches the content that it offers, then there will be more people who try our new propositions. We would certainly like to consider new possibilities for our future endeavors.” – Satoru Iwata
