It should also be noted that nintendo had online features available on the NES and then a satelite linkup on the super famicom and I believe the N64DD had something to the effect.
none were to the effect of what we see today but you could attribute downloadable content to Nintendo as there were some downloadable games for the Satellaview on the super famicom. Mostly from Nintendo but some were from third parties and that service went on from 1995 until 2000 I believe.
The N64 had the RANDnet service as well. None of these saw the light of day outside of Japan however.
