Downloadable puzzle game Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars will be the company's first cross-buy game. Once purchasing it on Wii U, the 3DS version will be available for free (or vice versa).

Cross-buy is already supported on PlayStation consoles, while Apple, too, allows users to buy something on one iOS device and use it on another without any extra charge.
Another new digital content initiative that Nintendo is taking on is free-to-play. The company's newly-announced free game Pokemon Shuffle is coming to 3DS in February, allowing users to spend real-world money on virtual items if they want to.
