Mario Kart 7 shortcuts removed via patch
Nintendo has announced it will patch Mario Kart 7 to eliminate three unintended shortcuts in multiplayer modes.
Nintendo has been slow to embrace new technologies, but the company is finally making more serious moves into the digital era. The latest baby step is in the form of patches, like fixing a game-breaking bug in Zelda: Skyward Sword, and now a new patch to stick it to those filthy Mario Kart 7 cheaters.
The patch fixes unintended shortcuts in Wuhu Island Loop, Wuhu Mountain Loop, and Bowser's Castle 1. Players will be prompted to quit and download a "Ver 1.1" patch from the eShop. It's not exactly an elegant solution, but hey, progress! This only applies to the online modes, mind you, so you can still use the exploits to run rings around AI opponents in single-player.
Nintendo's portable system has been a leading the charge on the company's digital initiatives, like DLC and fully downloadable games. The company even plans to offer its own first-party DLC. Maybe someday soon Nintendo will be only a few steps behind the wave of digital content, instead of a dozen.

Nintendo is against the current DLC model. Don't expect to see shitty games with 5 DLCs on WiiU
The company will eventually choose another way, another route, they have stated many times they are looking into this area but they will never embrace the western sytle as DLC is now.
Patches however are a standard.-
Im glad i can continue being nintendo fan. That is excelent news for me ... actually it's the best news!
But the company stated they will not prohibit 3rd-parties from item billing (disc locked content) ... so if games on WiiU are shitty and have on-disc DLC ... it's not nintendo's fault and it's not going to be one of their first-party games.
