Will Nintendo Become Greedy With DLC Like Other Developers?

Since Nintendo is probobly going to be pushing their new online service with the WiiU. Will Nintendo sell out to the DLC buisness model? Will they strip content from games to sell as DLC like other companies are doing? I'm curious to see how greedy Nintendo is.

They release lots of revisions for their handhelds and they have the shortest life cycle for their consoles... sounds to me they were already greedy.

Who knows... I'm leaning towards yes. More money can make anyone do anything.

This is why I like Nintendo being one generation behind. Now that the 3DS and Wii U are "curent-gen in features", they will adopt things that were popular this generation, like DLC milking.

A while ago Nintendo said that their DLC will be free but yeah...they already released paid DLC.

So, in other words...

Is Nintendo a for profit company?

Hard to say. It's a possibility, for sure.

That depends, will people buy the DLC? I always found it funny that people blame developers and not the customers themselves for DLC. News flash: If people didn't buy the DLC, there wouldn't be DLC.tagyhag

Not likely. While people don't like the "kid" connection to Nintnedo, the truth is that parents seak out nintendo for that wholesome product. When people get older, the principle behind things becomes more apparent and factors more into the decision making process. Dlc would not side well with this part of nintendos key market. Any mature adult knows dlc, more often than not, is complete horse sht.Heirren

This. Nintendo isn't stupid, & has been in business far longer than MS & Sony has.

If they do it right I dont mind. They are probably still going to release full games. If they come out with character packs and map packs for Super Smash I will probably buy them :)

Doesn't Fire Emblem: Awakening have like 20 something DLC's?

They won't be able to because nobody is gonna use an outdate online system

yes. nintendo is just as money hungry as any other company. you could argue more then most

I hope not that would suck if they turn into EA which is the worst comapny in America and the world which is a fact.

I'm pretty sure the Xbox had a shorter lifespan than any of Nintendos consoles, save for the virtual boy.

Must explain why their CEO took a paycut so he didn't have to lay off employees after the 3DS tanked or like how they repair and replace broken hardware without any sort of warranty right?

They're already greedy with Mario, what do you think?

Yeah I can see that happening. I won't like it but hey it can't be as bad as Capcom.

Become greedy? Them asking 299$ and 350$, even more in EU for a wii u, THAT is greedy.
