Wii Want More gets denide, But Downloadable content is coming to the Wii
We have been wondering which company would be the first one to use Nintendo's polemic system that was announced around two months ago. When it was unveiled people feared that one of Nintendo's upcoming blockbuster titles would be affected by this service, but both Mario Kart Wii and Super Smash Bros Brawl will feature free online modes. Still, many people believe that it won't be too long before Nintendo starts making use of this service.
Unexpectedly it has been discovered that the first game to use this system - or at least to contain some gameplay features that are restricted to users who pay - is Square Enix's nice Wii Ware project dubbed Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King. The game is really different from anything that the long-running franchise has done up to now.

On the game you and your party, who are apparently out searching for Crystals, arrive in a destroyed town and you decide to rebuild it thereby becoming the king of a small village. It is all up to you to develop it and attract new people, you can build shops, houses and many other kinds of structures to make your citizens happier. Hopefully you will eventually have a beautiful and prosperous kingdom to rule.
Besides, you can also send your soldiers on quests to find treasures and loot, but since you are a king there is no need for you to take any risks and engage on a dangerous journey, after being the hero so many times we finally get to sit on a cozy throne and send people to kill some monsters for us. You will constantly receive reports for your soldier about his adventure and the creatures he is facing, which in my opinion is quite a nice feature.
The restricted content consists of a bunch of things. As you may already know the amazing Crystal Chronicles world consists of four different races. However, once you start the game your village will only be inhabited by Clavats (represented by the boy and the girl on the right on the picture below), if you want villagers from the other three races you will have to purchase a few Wii Points - not much actually, the expected price is 300 points.

You can also purchase dungeons for your soldiers to explore, buildings, clothing and many other items that have yet to be announced.
It is unknown if new races will add deepness to the gameplay or if the core of the game will remain the same, but I assume they will add something since each one has its own characteristics. Therefore in order to enjoy the title to its full extent be prepared to expend slightly more than you were expecting.
You can look at this situation from two different angles. You can either say "Oh, that's great. I was so excited for this game but now I won't buy it because it will probably end up being more expensive than I thought" or you can start celebrating because the Wii is finally getting what we have all been asking for since the system was released: Downloadable Content.
I have read negative feedback on this decision all over the internet and I wonder if we forgot that just three months ago when Mr. Sakurai firmly stated that no characters besides the 35 available would be added to the roster via downloads. Apparently people love the idea to have things to download, we just don't like to pay for it.
It is a huge step on the right direction and I hope that other companies do what Square Enix is doing. Of course there is the bad side of this whole thing since we will have to spend some money if we want it all, but nobody is pointing a gun directly to our heads, we are free to choose, and we all know that gaming is an expensive hobby. Who wouldn't love to have downloadable tracks in Mario Kart or stages and characters in Brawl? Sadly those games will not make use of this system, and we will be stuck with the same tracks and stages - not that it is a bad thing, I'm not complaining - for all the eternity.

Nintendo is simply following an industry tendency - something we don't see very often - because they are riding on the Wii's success and are expecting to make as much money as possible with this extremely successful system, and that's what Nintendo and all other companies in the world are all about - making money.
Credit to Pierst179. So dont think that just because Nintendo denide it there is not going to be no downloadable content.the future is bright and we will have to just wait to see!!!
