"Animal Crossing: New Leaf will not feature paid DLC, according to Nintendo. Speaking with investors, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata confirmed that there will be no DLC for the game because it would go against the game&amp;#039;s intent.   &amp;quot;Some might say that it would be unbelievably profitable to provide paid add-on content for Animal Crossing: New Leaf,&amp;quot; Iwata said.  &amp;quot;But we were concerned that a game in which you enjoy yourself more by the power of money would not be suitable, and we decided to avoid such a feature after an intensive discussion with the development team.&amp;quot; That quote comes from an English transcript of Iwata&amp;#039;s answers to investors. Reportedly the Japanese word used instead of &amp;quot;sensible&amp;quot; could also be translated as &amp;quot;unwholesome&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;unhealthy&amp;quot;. Iwata added that the company is not avoiding paid DLC, as it already supports paid content for New Super Mario Bros 2 and Fire Emblem: Awakening.  The difference, it seems, is that the paid content is considered &amp;quot;compensation for creative work&amp;quot;, where new gameplay is added through additional levels or missions. The proposed Animal Crossing: New Leaf content on the other hand would likely take the form of in-game items and commodities. Nintendo recently confirmed the game&amp;#039;s English title, and that it will be available in North America and Europe during the first half of 2013.
