The box for Square Enix’s upcoming Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy game for 3DS has turned up a couple of interesting nuggets. Firstly, it looks like DLC is coming to the system earlier than we thought, as pictures of the box uploaded by Twitter user Joshua_X_ confirm that the game supports paid downloads. It’s a rhythm game featuring music from the Final Fantasy series, so it’s easy to see how Square Enix might leverage the ability.
3DS DLC and ‘Nintendo Network’ rebranding to launch with ‘Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy’?
Pictures taken of the Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy box have confirmed that the game supports paid DLC. The box also features a logo for the Nintendo Network — possibly a rebranding of the company’s Wi-Fi Connection service.

Secondly, the front of the box features a new logo marked “Nintendo Network,” without any indication of what that might mean. The term has popped up here and there in Japan recently — it’s used in Japanese when connecting to the internet in Mario Kart 7 (see above), and an ongoing 3DS photo contest is being hosted at a site on the nintendonetwork.net domain — but this is the first time we’ve seen a logo or prominent brand placement. It’s probable that this is a rebrand of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service, but we’ll have to wait until Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy launches in Japan on February 16th to be sure if anything else is going on here.
