1) After the experience with Wii Sport Club, Nintendo might not see it as a selling feature.
2) Giving options is always good. Although Nintendo is judged differently, see the flipnote debacle.
3) Giving options. From my perspective it's unnecessary.
4) Trying to justify paid online? It's free on PC, should be free on consoles too.
5) All spectrum of DLC has been offered in a range of titles.
I'd only get behind number 2, and number 1 for a few titles (not all).
Number 2 was also going to be implemented through a mobile app, we saw it in that e3 non specific action figure video... but Nintendo hasn't progressed in that area yet. Maybe that future mobile app they keep talking about?
