http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/08/gdcnintendozee-1376921447.jpgNintendo first shared details of its Wii U Web Framework (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/03/28/unity-and-nintendo-web-framework-offer-new-wii-u-dev-tools/) at GDC in March (http://www.engadget.com/tag/gdc2013/), which it hoped would encourage more apps and games to be ported over, and facilitate quicker Wii U game prototyping. Fast-forward to GDC Europe (http://www.engadget.com/tag/gdce2013/) and Martin Buchholz, manager of developer relations at Nintendo, confirmed that the framework has now been updated to include eCommerce support -- such as DLC purchases. Something of a significant lure for those with existing games that have yet to be convinced to move them over to Wii U. It's not quite in-app purchases, but it will certainly ease the worries of those game makers who prefer to monetize their titles after the initial transaction.
