A New Content Model for Nintendo

Arkhander brought up the idea of the game as a platform which got me thinking about Nintendoland. What if instead of Nintendoland you had say Kirbyland. Instead of the attractions you'd have those doors that are in kirby games in a 3D space, but you could have a 2D kirby game in there and then kirby's epic yarn in another and some kind of 3D kirby incarnation etc. You'd also have prizes and stamps in Nintendoland which would be really cool.

I don't know if that specifically would be a great idea because it would break the continuity and overall coercion of the game. What I meant by turning software into a "platform" is that there are multiples ways to monetize the software beyond its initial purchase, while maintaning a good base game of course.

But now that you speak of Nintendo Land, you remind me of its wasted potential as the perfect pack-in game. Like I said earlier, expansions would be great for more mini games, stages and even more franchises represented in the game. I don't know if Nintendo realises this but my young sisters fell in love with the Pikmin mini game, and the moment I told them that Pikmin 3 was coming out they were delighted. If not for Nintendo Land I would never have purchased Pikmin. Nintendo could in little ways actually market they're new and VC games through the Nintendo Land plaza hub.

Yea I love Nintendoland. I'd really like new prizes and new minigames heh.

Edit: I'd like to add that with the idea of Kirbyland they wouldn't have to release full retail releases then, they'd just add new types of kirby games to the base kirbyland game.
