To say that Nintendo has been slow to embrace many modern elements of gaming would be a massive understatement. They avoided HD and online gaming like the plague all the way up to the Wii U, and even now many of their efforts still feel half-baked. However, I don’t want to discuss their failures, or where they need work. Rather, I want to talk about what they are doing right, and that would be downloadable content.

 

 

See, I would never say Nintendo is behind the times, they just go their own pace.  And they usually inform the public why.

Sometimes its other companies that jump the gun, or blaze trails that make it look like Nintendo is slow.  

But at the end of the day, its not who did it first, its about how ends up doing it best, or appealingly different.

The results is as you have described:  AOC, Miiverse, etc.  Approaches that make their competitor's offerings look old hat.
