Nintendo will push forward with "Nintendo Network", which is the network service for the "Nintendo 3DS" and the "Wii U", and offers game experiences, which enable users to compete and interact with others all over the world, and provide add-on content by utilizing its network functions.

Furthermore, for the purposes of adapting to the changes in the environment surrounding the video game market and creating new business opportunities, Nintendo is envisioning the digital distribution of packaged software and is aiming at expanding the business. - company statement


This isn't the first time we've seen Nintendo talk like this, but we've yet to see anything like this happen. Nintendo's fiscal year forecasts for April 2012 “include the quantity of the packaged software by means of digital distribution.” I'm guessing we might get our first glimpse at E3.
