And it's still like shoving a camel through the eye of a needle to get it to work. Apparently they are needing to work with Nintendo to manage to get this to work. Well, it has to start somewhere. At least once they are done, the results will be there for other companies to take advantage of, such as Nintendo. Of course my guess is the solution will be a menu they have to code inside the game itself to go to the company's own servers to get the content, which means it's own seperate payment system...
Nintendo is not making it easy for other companies to do all this. MS has it down to automatic software upgrades when you turn on a game (apparently Sony does too). Nintendo just has a lot of work to do to catch up.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
