Upcoming Wii U party game Spin the Bottle will use a gradually-increasing price model, creative director Lau Korsgaard told Nintendo Life. Korsgaard said the game will launch at a "cheap-ish," but still undetermined price and will increase as the developer creates more content for it.
"If you buy early you will get all future updates for free. Our plan is to release two more updates in 2013 – each time raising the price a bit," he said. "We want reward the early adopters of the Wii U while still being able to earn money on the long run."
Spin the Bottle was originally expected to launch in May, but its official site now lists it as an early summer eShop release.

 Uniqlo’s range of Monster Hunter t-shirts.
While the rest of the gaming world looks ahead to E3 and frets over the latest Draconian missives from Microsoft, in Japan Capcom’s Monster Hunter 4 campaign went into overdrive this week – over three months ahead of the 3DS game’s release. And it’s no wonder, as the Japan success of the latest entry in Capcom’s killer franchise may not be assured as you’d think.Monster Hunter 4′s September 14 release date was announced during a Japan-only edition of Nintendo Direct last Friday that focused solely on Capcom’s two upcoming tentpole 3DS releases, MH4 and Ace Attorney 5. Series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto also revealed a 5,990 yen (£40) price tag, a pair of Monster Hunter-themed 3DS XL handsets and, well, not a lot else, instead teasing that more information would come out of an event Capcom was to hold at Odaiba Aqua City in Tokyo over last weekend.

Over the past few years the PC indie scene has erected a new payment structure wherein people can often buy a work in progress for a cheap price, then slowly gain access to all of its added features at no additional cost. Conversely, they can wait until it's complete and pay the full price later on. This sort of thing is common when you play Spin the Bottle. Note Korsgaard in the back, sporting the Spin the Bottle t-shirt.
Now, Nordic developer KnapNok is adopting a similar structure to its upcoming Wii U party game Spin the Bottle. Creative director Lau Korsgaard told NintendoLife that he's planning to release Spin the Bottle around early July at a cheap price, then increase it as two more updates are introduced throughout 2013. The idea is that the early adopters will receive the updates at no extra cost, ensuring that they're rewarded for their efforts rather than punished."We see a bunch of games right now permanently lowering their price on the eShop, they probably have their reasons to do it, but I think it is the wrong way around," Korsgaard said in statement to Eurogamer. "Why penalise people who bought the console early while driving prices down in general, making it less possible to make money in the future?""Our strategy is inspired by how indie PC games has been sold for years now. We will launch at a price around €7 / $9 but keep adding content and raise the price for each new update. People buying in early get all future updates for free. The important thing is that we will be open and earnest about it, we will 'warn' about an upcoming update and encourage people to buy while the price is low."Korsgaard added that he still wants to explore this space of party games where players have to look at each other rather than the TV, but he doesn't want to make this conventional DLC. "I don't really find DLC's that cool," he said. "The idea of milking money out of your most loyal fans while later giving everything away almost for free is not appealing to me. We see it the other way around; our most loyal fans helps us build up value in the game, for that we are going to reward them with free updates. New customers don't get cheated, [as] what they buy will be 'worth more' than what our early adopters bought. I really can't see anyone getting pissed here."Thankfully, Nintendo was supportive of KnapNok's peculiar business strategy. "Originally when we presented the idea to Nintendo they were a bit puzzled," Korsgaard explained. "They do have some guidelines about how much you can reduce your price post launch, but nothing about raising the price, so I took that as a yes. Since then we have talked about it a few times and they are supportive of the strategy. Nintendo has been really flexible to work with in this sense. We have control of everything, and all they provide is good advice.".It's certainly an interesting theory and nigh unheard of in the console space. What do you make of this unique pricing structure, dear readers?

Nintendo will show a video of its new Super Smash Bros. game next Tuesday, June 11 as part of its Nintendo Direct broadcast.
 Creator Masahiro Sakurai took to Twitter to confirm the news today. He said (via Google translation): "In Nintendo Direct delivery of 23:00, June 11, New video of "Smash Bros." will be unveiled for the first time. Simultaneous world, here for the first time! Do not miss." You can watch it from 3pm UK time.Nintendo president Satoru Iwata recently said Nintendo would use its E3 webcast to discuss "new Smash Bros., 3D Mario game, Mario Kart and other Wii U titles".
Sakurai is serving as producer on the new Smash Bros. game, which is a Wii U/3DS crossover in development at Namco Bandai
Official Nintendo Magazine associate editor Matthew Castle recently labelled the title his most anticipated game of E3, writing:
"Sakurai says he wants the 3DS version to be a more personalised, individual experience that feeds into a competitive public space on Wii U, and that would certainly play to the strengths of both systems.
"He's also tidying up online play - great news for those us that spent months of our lives hanging out in Brawl's notoriously flaky pre-match lobby.
"I'm more concerned about how much of the game we'll actually see. Every promise Iwata makes about showing the game at E3 is met with a cautious 'wait and see' from Sakurai."

Nintendo has released this week's list of new digital content for the American eShop stores on Wii U and 3DS.

Nintendo's Wii U launched at retail just over six months ago to a lukewarm reception from critics. An even more tepid response from consumers followed, with week-one sales trailing behind those of its predecessor. A massive day-one patch, missing functionality (Nintendo TVii, anyone?) and an ever-expanding launch window for games, some of which still aren't available (Pikmin 3, anyone?) are just a few of the many issues that overwhelmed the discussion last November. Company head Satoru Iwata even publicly apologized.
In the past six months, things have only gotten worse, with slumping sales, next-gen competition and a lack of Wii U-centric games on the horizon.
As E3 2013 nears -- where Nintendo usually has a big press conference and won't this year -- we're revisiting the Wii U for an update, six months out. We're not delving back into how the hardware works (surprise, it's identical to last year!) so much as looking at the console's early promise in contrast with its current predicament. Join us after the break.

The company which [Eric Wright] works for recently bought a Nintendo VS. It had Ice Climber installed as one of the titles but they asked the vendor if it was possible to swap it out for the Duck Hunt ROM. They had the ROM but not a light gun that would work with the system. [Eric] suggested they buy it with Duck Hunt and hack an NES Zapper to work with the VS cabinet.
Let’s take a step back for a moment. The Nintendo VS was a coin-operated gaming cabinet you would find in an Arcade. Luckily there’s quite a bit of information about the original hardware on the web. Some research helped him discover that electronically the only difference between the arcade and home versions of the Zapper is that the sensor capture is inverted. This was fixed by replacing a transistor in the gun with a jumper wire. The next challenge was figuring out how to wire the gun up to the second controller port. And finally he patched the ROM to work with the incorrect PPU as the right chip was not easily sourced.

Despite mixed support from third parties, Ubisoft still believes Wii U can find a place in the market.
Nintendo is not holding an E3 press conference but will unveil a raft of new games on the showfloor. It will only take one to 'rescue' the console, according to EMEA exec director Alain Corre.
"It takes time for a machine to establish itself," he told MCV in a new pre-E3 interview.
"We've seen in the past that when more games come, the console picks up. That is what we believe will happen for Wii U. There is a place in the market for each console, and with the right games Wii U will find its public and sell in the long-term."
Ubisoft has kept Wii U as part of its multiplatform strategy with Rayman Legends, Splinter Cell Blacklist, Assassin's Creed IV and Watch Dogs all confirmed for the console.
Corre said: "One single game can change a platform's fortunes - it happened for the DS, it happened for the Super Nintendo. I believe it can be the same for Wii U."
You can read MCV's full interview with Alain Corre in this week's E3 special of MCV.

Another US analyst has poured scorn on Nintendo’s Wii U and said that the opportunity for success will soon pass.
"After seven months on the market, Nintendo's Wii U is struggling mightily," Cowen & Company analyst Doug Creutz told investors, as reported by GameSpot.
“We note that the company has essentially abandoned the field to Microsoft and Sony at this year's E3 as Nintendo will not be holding a press conference."
"However, we do think there is a decent chance that Nintendo could announce a price cut for the Wii U at E3 in an effort to bring attention to the console and boost sales. We note that the console will have a series of key new games coming out through the late summer and fall, beginning with Pikmin 3 in August. Nintendo's window for igniting interest in its console is closing with Microsoft and Sony's competing machines soon to come to market."
There were words of warning for Sony and Microsoft, too.
Although Creutz reckons both will keep quiet about both hardware pricing and pre-owned plans, he thinks the second topic will have a direct effect on both console’s long-term prospects.
“We suspect they will avoid the issue as much as possible at E3, despite calls from the gaming community for clarity," he added. "Microsoft needs to make its case for the Xbox One to the core gaming community after its initial launch clearly focused on the broader audience for media and entertainment.
"While we think pursuing the mass market strategy is correct (Microsoft reputedly hopes to sell 400 million Xbox Ones during its lifetime, more than 2.5x the sales total of the PS2 and 4x that of the Wii), the console still needs to appeal to its core gamer constituency to get off to a good start and generate positive buzz. We suspect Microsoft will not disappoint in this respect.
"In contrast, Sony has focused its early message squarely on the gaming community. Sony's challenge at E3 is simply to reestablish relevance given the decisive lead Microsoft has built on current-gen (at least outside of Japan). We also expect Sony to showcase some of the non-gaming aspects of the console; however, the PS4 needs to not come off as 'me-too' relative to the Xbox One."

Ultimate Nintendo fanboy pleaser Smash Bros isn't to everyone's tastes.
It takes a special type of enthusiast to pour hours into pummeling Pikachu repeatedly in his far too chirpy face, and an even more avid fan to spend your days speculating which forgotten character will be added to an already packed roster.
Platinum Games designer Hideki Kamiya is not one of those fans. Far from it.
Fed up of tweets calling for Platinum characters like Bayonetta, Viewtiful Joe and Okami's Amaterasu to be added to the next Smash Bros, plus ones asking how excited he is for the Nintendo brawler, Kamiya made his thoughts known.
"Enough of smash idiots. **** off," he tweeted.
Then, for good measure, he linked to the admittedly ridiculous amount of Smash Bros-related messages he has received over the last three months.
Don't hold back, Hideki – let it out. It's good for the soul.
Hideki will be showing off the Wii U-exclusive Bayonetta 2 at E3 next week.

 Eiji Aonuma has confirmed that his A Link To The Past sequel will include a Dark World, runs at 60 frames per second and is set to reveal “a big surprise” in its opening moments that will shock Zelda fans.Speaking in our latest issue, the Zelda series chief also revealed that the forthcoming 3DS adventure will bring back characters from the original SNES title, and that it won’t force 3D effects or gyro controls onto the player.“This new title will feature lots of things that are new to the series; right at the start of the game, there’s a big surprise that will shock players,” he told us. “We started out with the new play mechanics, such as Link being able to become a painting and walk along the walls, and then figured out from there how to build a story around them. Rather than forcing elements of the original story into this one, we’ve instead focused on bringing back the characters, so you can see what happened to them after the events of the first game.”An alternative dark world, a key feature of the original game, will also be an important part of the sequel, Aonuma confirmed. “Part of what made A Link To The Past interesting was the way you could move between the Light World and the Dark World and solve puzzles, and we’re planning to bring that back in A Link To The Past 2 for sure,” he told us. “Link’s ability to become a painting will be related to that.”Gyro control won’t be part of the new game as moving the 3DS destabilises the 3D effect, said Aonuma. “But the game runs at 60fps, while all the 3D games up till now have run at 30fps,” he added. “The faster the framerate, the more stable the 3D effect, so 60fps is a big deal. He added that the game will be entirely playable in 2D, however.Elsewhere in our interview, Aonuma expressed the desire to make different games, having spent the last fifteen years developing Zelda titles. “I’m 50 now, so I only have about ten more years to make games at Nintendo. I want to try all sorts of new things before it’s too late – I don’t want to get to the end of my career and only have worked on Zelda. But every time I come up with some good new ideas, they end up being used in a Zelda game! I need a six-month break to get away from the Zelda cycle and focus on something new [laughs]. But I’d probably end up making a game that’s similar to Zelda; after all, A Link To The Past was my biggest influence.”You can read the full interview with Nintendo’s Eiji Aonuma in E255. You can subscribe and buy individual issues now in print, on iPad, on Google Play and through Zinio.

Puzzle/platformer Mighty Switch Force! 2 - WayForward's first direct sequel in the Mighty series - will arrive later this month on the 3DS eShop. North America gets it next week on 13th June, while Europe has to wait an extra fortnight until 27th June.Back in February WayForward teased the sequel saying that protagonist Patricia Wagon would have a "surprise career change" and indeed she's transitioned from a cop to a firefighter. This time instead of busting the outlaw Hooligan Sisters, you're tasked with saving the reformed criminals.They're not the only lives you'll save, as you'll also have to search for "ugly secret babies" hidden throughout each level; for this apparently takes place in a grim society where people stash away their unwanted kin to die in fires. Don't let the perky voices and bright smiles fool you.Mighty Switch Force! 2 will feature new puzzle types, weapons, enemies, and tunes.

 O2 is to offer free wi-fi access to 3DS and DS owners across the UK.
Owners of the handhelds will now see their machines automatically connect to internet hotspots that use O2’s service. These include McDonalds, Debenhams, Pizza Hut, Costa Coffee, House of Fraser, Toby Carvery, Bluewater and large parts of London boroughs Westminster and Kensington & Chelsea.
Connection will be automatic and not require authentication, although users will need to have their machines updated to the latest firmware.
The on-screen Nintendo Zone icon will blink when entering a compatible area.
“We’re always looking at ways to improve the user experience for Nintendo 3DS owners,” Nintendo’s UK marketing and PR director Shelly Pearce stated.
“This partnership with O2 means that gamers will now have access to all of the unique online features offered by Nintendo Zone in more locations than ever before.”
O2 wi-fi MD Gavin Franks added: “Nintendo is a leading brand in the gaming world and have shown real innovation in the industry, making them an ideal partner for O2 Wifi.
“With the popularity of online multiplayer gaming continuing to rise, customers are looking for a fast, free accessible Wi-Fi connection when they’re on the move – something that we know is becoming perceived as a right, rather than a privilege. This deal will enable Nintendo 3DS gamers to automatically connect their device to O2 Wifi whenever they are in over 7,000 hotspots across the UK’s top venues, restaurants and retailers.”

 Wii U is entering a perilous period at UK retail.
It was reported this morning that GameStop is removing its Wii U Basic 8GB stock from shelves in the US and returning it to Nintendo.
Neither Nintendo or GameStop has responded officially to the claims. Nintendo UK, however, has confirmed to MCV that there are currently no plans to withdraw the SKU from the UK market.
But there could still be some bad news on the horizon for the console in the UK.
MCV has been told from sources in UK retail that some retailers – including leading national GAME – are reassessing the shelf space they allocate to Nintendo’s machine.
Indeed, GAME is understood in some stores to be relegating the Wii U from its current wall bay display spaces to smaller, less prominent floor areas. And unless sales of the machine and its software pick up it could be reduced further still to make room for PS4 and Xbox One later this year.
Nintendo told MCV that it does not comment on rumour and speculation while GAME has not answered enquiries on the subject.

8GB model of Nintendo's new console won't be available after the 18th of June
The basic model of the Wii U will be pulled from US retailers this month, claim sources.
“Retail sources” have told Kotaku that all 'basic' models of Nintendo's next gen console will be removed from GameStop shelves a week after the company's E3 showing.
“Nintendo Wii U Basic Recall - Two Week Preparation On Tuesday, 6/18, all stories will need to return all new/unopened Wii U Basic,” reads the message sent to retailers.
“Stores that have 10 or more in stock will receive shipping cartons from the [distribution center]. .. All other stores will need to save shipping cartons for this recall.”
GameStop has not responded to Kotaku's request for comment, and Nintendo has said it won't comment on its dealings with retailers.

Europeans who purchase and register Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate for the 3DS before 11pm UK time on June 30 will be eligible for a recommendation code good for one download of Capcom's game. If your pal registers a Nintendo 3DS or 3DS XL through Club Nintendo between 11pm UK time tonight and 11pm UK time on July 31, and enters the recommendation code before 11pm UK time on August 5, then they'll be able to download the game.

Check the Club Nintendo site tomorrow after 3pm UK time, at which point you should find your recommendation code available and can continue the rest of the process. The promotion only applies to the 3DS version – the Wii U game is not eligible – and Nintendo has announced no plans to extend the promotion outside of Europe.

The second half of 2013 will be crucial to deciding the ultimate fate of Nintendo’s Wii U, one analyst has stated.
And while Nintendo itself is not hosting a press conference at next week’s E3, the LA convention is still of vital importance to the struggling console.
“We believe the Wii U release slate on display will be a key determinant of the console’s long-term staying power,” Michael Pachter told investors. “With the more powerful PS4 and Xbox One launching later this year, Nintendo risks losing additional share to its console competitors if the quality and volume of content available for Wii U does not pick up markedly in the near-term.
“If the Wii U’s popularity does not improve by the end of the year, many third-party publishers may pass on producing games for the console.”
Pachter went on to make an even graver prediction – that all third party publishers could eventually walk away from the machine.
“EA recently announced that it had no Wii U games in development, and it remains a possibility that the publisher will abandon the platform entirely,” he speculated. “Should other third parties follow EA’s lead, the Wii U could be relegated to a first party only platform.”
Of course, there’s always the tried and trusted price cut for Nintendo to fall back on if all else fails.
Added Pachter: “Nintendo may look to spur Wii U sales through either a hardware price drop of $50 or a bundle that includes some of its more popular software.”
