Nintendo NX: 7 New Leaked Details You Need To Know About
2. Netflix-Style Games Subscription
A day after the original leak from the market research survey, the second part of the survey also appeared online. This part asked participants how they'd feel about a Netflix-style monthly subscription service for games, which would be rotating and updated every several months. Mercifully, nothing was mentioned about these games being streamed, so it's possible that this service will allow you to download games, but presumably under some kind of DRM where they get locked off once their time in the library rotation is up. If the Nintendo NX was - as the survey suggested - to launch with a 150-strong library of games available to play for a subscription fee, then we can also deduce that these games would be from Nintendo's back-catalogue rather than shiny new console exclusives. In turn, this would all but confirm that the NX will, as expected, be backwards-compatible with previous Nintendo consoles (and hopefully the Wii U).
