According to David Gibson, an analyst, Nintendo announced at their behind the scenes meeting taking place at E3, that Nintendo plans to boost digital sales with New Super Luigi U and their first Free-to-Play game.

Megaton in my opinion. Never thought I would see the day where Nintendo would do a Free-to-Play game.

At Nintendo's Investors meeting in April, Iwata did announce that Nintendo was exploring free-to-play models or subsciption based models doing so however, with new IPS, not through their traditional packaged software such as Pokemon and Mario.

I totally imagine this to be NFC based Pokemon title.

Calling it right here.

Aside of Team Fortress 2 (and Dota 2 which I guess can be considered F2P), I haven't found a F2P game that doesn't bore me after a few weeks. I'll keep my eyes on this because it's Nintendo, but overall I have very little hopes for most F2P games.

I guess not :P

Hey, why haven't we heard more stuff from that meeting?! Anyone got anymore news??

I hope it's a good game! I've never enjoyed a f2p game all that much...
