Namco Bandai focusing more on digital content to supplement retail titles

"If you look at what retail is doing, it is also embracing a digital delivery platform, and have started selling DLC based on these cards. Retailers are also seeing the evolution, but I think the question is: Where are gamers going to acquire the content?

I still think you are going to see a lot of heavy acquisition being done through retail. Broadband speeds are not at the state where you can download an entire game. But I do see a lot of fans still doing that. The evolution is going to take a while and I think retail through that time will figure out how it can still acquire the revenue." - North American vice president Carlson Choi

You can totally download entire games. But most people don't, so yes.

Beautiful Katamari has on-disc DLC that they charged a bit for (though, not Capcom prices, and they have since gone down in price significantly to like $1 apiece), so not sure what to make of this yet, but cool.

I am still waiting for a Nintendo Katamari title.

Not sure why PSP and Vita got one, but not 3DS or DS. Or Wii. Or Kinect for that matter.

Here's to hoping they make a Wii U one and 3DS one down the road.

Took me over 10 hours to download a movie that was 6 GB. I was using wi fi so maybe it would have been faster if It was wired. Anyways, I can't do full download of a disc game no matter how big the hard drive is.

Focusing more? They had a grand worth of content for Idol Master on the 360! And that was years ago.

The developer himself came out a few years ago when people were asking him about one for the Wii and he publicly stated his distaste for motion control. Probably covers touch screen as well. But that wouldn't explain the Vita release now would it...
