He plans to find a balance between flexibility and security.
Nintendo President Satoru Iwata explained how Nintendo will use micro-transactions during a recent Q&A with investors at the recent financial briefing.
Iwata stated that Nintendo plans to keep an appropriate level of flexibility in its handling of micro-payments (transactions involving a very small sum of money for things like downloadable content or game enhancements, which are already seen in many social games), but also remarks that Nintendo must keep a similar level of strictness to account for its younger audience.
"We have a belief that our games should be a trusted brand for a very wide variety of consumers, including children and casual users who are not so familiar with the trends of video games. Therefore, we would like to have regulations with a certain degree of strictness so that consumers will get a sense of reassurance from our games."
When asked about the place of third parties in such a system, Iwata stated that Nintendo plans to ensure "a relative level of flexibility for the Nintendo 3DS and the Wii U" in response to those saying that the company is too strict and behind the times in its third-party publishing guidelines. He also stated that if third-parties show interest, he would have no intention to decline their implementation of micro-payments.
