Friday, during the Q&A sessions at Nintendo’s Tokyo briefing, Iwata announced some details for paid downloads.

Nintendo may restrict what games use this service but paid downloads is something Iwata and Miyamoto have been interested in doing for some time.

Iwata went on to explain that he fully supports the use of paid to downloads to add more to a game, like developing more stages and content. Iwata doesn’t believe paid downloads of keys or unlocking stat increases is something that will help a develop a game.

3DS developers will be receiving these paid to download kits by the end of the year.
