Is Nintendo doing DLC right?

The best quality of Nintendo is that they do not really do DLC.

With Nintendo taking its first step into HD gaming, some of my least favorite things from last gen were bound to creeep into their new console. One of my least favorite things about last gen was the DLC. A lot of it seemed rediculous and unnecessary. Who wants to pay $5 for a chraracter skin or a few new maps? (Some DLC wasnt bad)

Anyways, with one of Nintendo's first really big attempts at DLC, they came out of the gate strong. We are getting New Super Luigi U. This DLC is going to have 80 new levels... 80!!! It's gonna seem like a whole new game.

So what do you say System Wars? Is this the "right" way to do DLC, which is normally seen a huge rip off?

NSMB 2 DLC levels are well made and all but way overpriced. I only recommend the golden mushroom packs and possibly the challenge packs for skilled players who are looking for brutal levels.

Price will determine the value, but I'm willing to pay alot for this one.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"]Depends on the price now.RyanShazam

Nah it will at least be $20.

They charged $15 for Harmoknight and Pokedex 3D.

I'm thinking $30 actually. I'd pay that even though $20 is the sweet spot. We are talking about 80 levels here.

Nintendo takes add-ons like New Super Mario U and charges people full price for them. Most of their games should be considered add-ons. Look at Mario Baseball or Mario Strikers. That would be another mode in a bigger game if Sony or Microsoft or 3rd party made it. But Nintendo charges it as a full price game.

Also Zelda Windwaker HD? I bet it will be full price. Meanwhile Sony goves you 3 Ratchet's, 3 Sly, Several GOW's, 3 Jaks.......for a discount price.

Sheep are stupid. Period.

[QUOTE="Heirren"][QUOTE="locopatho"] O right. Seems a bit unlikely.BrunoBRS

The dodgy EA stuff is fine, it's EA's responsibility legaly and so on.

But Nintendo doesn't allow Farmville level of cons on their systems.

80 levels? Holy sh*t.

I think its a step in the right direction. We need to remember that Nintendo's understanding of the internet has barely reached 2001. They still have 12 more years to go :Pmems_1224

They call it DLC but they are so far expansions and additional things that you did not miss originally at all. That is probably the only good way to do DLC.
It also makes them the only gaming company (I think?) to do DLC right.

I actually just completed everything in NSMBU just yesterday (I dont own a Wii U so it took a while).

This is great news, its a really fun game when you have a few people playing.

I like the method a lot of PC-centric developers take with DLC. They release it for free, periodically, to maintain interest in their game over a long time, and this also attracts a lot of new players over a longer period of time as well.

Not crazy about the pricing of the maps in FE Awakening. But the DLC maps don't have anything to do with the main story either so whatever I could live with missing out on most probably.

TF2 has had free DLC for over 5 years and counting. Maps, weapons, gamemods ect.

And  dont forget all those free mods, tons and tons of freee content! Meanwhile Black ops 2 full priced retail AAA game gets microtransactions along with small map packs that charges the price of full retail pc game.
