<p>It has been some time since Nintendo revealed that it was going to be moving into the free-to-play business and whilst the company have already said not to expect Super Mario and Pokemon versions gamers around the globe were left wondering what the big N had up its sleeve. Turn&#8217;s out that said sleeve has just been torn off and revealed&#8230;</p>
<p>The first free-to-play title from Nintendo will be Steel Diver which you may recall launched alongside the Nintendo 3DS back when everybody thought it was going to fail as a piece of machinery due to its terribly poor launch lineup and lack of support until later on in the year.</p>
<p>Shigeru Miyamoto had this to say in regards to the title:<br />
<em>&#8220;There is something we&#8217;re doing with the Steel Diver idea that I think is going to open things up with that game&#8230; It&#8217;s going to be very fun. We&#8217;re exploring from a perspective of where we can take that from a multiplayer standpoint &#8211; it&#8217;s going to have this four-player battle mode that I think is going to be very interesting&#8221;.</em></p>
