This is of note mainly because of the size and history of Nintendo… it’s making ringtones and wallpapers from its most popular games available for members of its loyalty program, which gives ‘stars’ for buying game and visiting the site. “There are 20 realtone ring tones available, all of which can be downloaded in exchange for only 350 stars. There are also more than 30 mobile phone wallpapers for you to choose from, at just 150 stars each.”
The content is more of a way to build fan loyalty than to make money, and is for people who really enjoy games like Super Mario Bros, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Metroid Prime.
