IGN Nintendo wants to know how you plan on buying Nintendo games in the future.
Did you miss us, Koopalings? I hope so, because it's time for another IGN Nintendo Question of the Week. Begin your funky celebration dance... now.
Okay, that's quite enough of that - now on to business. Just like always, I'm going to ask you a question, then you're going to put all your insightful opinions into a super cool blog. Afterward, I want you to share the link on the IGN blog post I created just for this occasion. Please DO NOT post your blog links on my wall or Twitter - they will only be considered if they're submitted on my official blog post. Later this week, I'm going to choose a selection of the best entries to promote directly on the 3DS and/or Wii U page, as well as choose our Blogger of the Week (who, in turn, wins a cool prize).
Got all that? Great, then on to the question!
This week is all about Nintendo's digital future. It was recently revealed that the company plans to allow gamers to purchase software either digitally or in traditional retail packaging. In fact, right from the system's launch, you'll be able to download first party Wii U games directly to your system or purchase them in a store. Furthermore, New Super Mario Bros. 2 will also be downloadable. Crazy beans, right?
Mario and Nintendo are flying into the future!
So what do you folks think of your first taste of gaming's future? That's exactly what I want you to blog about. And to help guide your blogging endeavors, here are the specific points I'd like your blog to address:
What do you make of Nintendo's new digital strategy? Do you like the potential of day-and-date digital publishing for video games? Or is a digital download just not as exciting as picking up a new game at the store?
As far as you're concerned, what are the pros and cons for both of these options? Is it a question of closet space, of loving game manuals, of time and gas money, of lending games to friends? Spill!
Given the option (and putting aside questions of file size and hard drive space), will you still buy retail Wii U and 3DS games, or will you opt to download them instead?
There you have it - just remember to make your submissions no later than Wednesday, May 2 at Noon PST. As mentioned, the best of the best will be promoted on the IGN Wii U and/or 3DS page. Among the blog posts chosen for promotion, Rich and I will be singling ONE out as our Blog of the Week. The chosen blogger will win a download code for one (1) free eShop game. The winner will be able to choose between Pushmo, Mighty Switch Force, and Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword. If you're chosen, someone from IGN will contact you through e-mail (and your IGN wall), so keep an eye out, and be ready to respond! (And please don't ask us if you've won - if you did, we will be in touch.)
