Wrong according to Cheesemeister. 3 packs and each pack only contains 3 levels.

The more I hear about this the more I like it.
Hoping they are still working hard on future DLC. Much rather spend a few dollars every month or two on NSMB2 DLC than on crappy games or WoW.

EA and Capcom would make us pay 10 dollars for 3 levels.

My sarcasm meter is broken on this one, tell me if I should be chuckling or outraged.

Hyperbole aside, I'm not too fond of the DLC route Nintendo seems to be adopting. Oh, well.
Hopefully it's like Layton and we get a new pack of these every month. Then again, Layton's free.
There was definitely a "Dash" level showcased, and I would think that isn't Coin Rush. Not really sure though.
I believe Nintendo called this a chotto Nintendo Direct or a "small Nintendo Direct". They've done it before for individual games like Brain Training and some others. People should have known what to expect though it was poorly advertised.
It's a good thing they won't be doing iOS releases, then!

Guys, this Nintendo Direct was announced less than half a day ago and you're actually disappointed?

I'll for sure gobble up the first offering, and then I'll base future DLC purchases on how satisfied I was with previous DLC. If the first round of DLC is great, I'll definitely spring for the new stuff. If not, then I won't.

And there's a reason they won't put their brands on other things, but that's another topic.
But... I wanted Metroid Prime 4, and Pokemon Gen VI on the 3DS!
Nintendo calls everything "Nintendo Direct" nowadays. They did presentations for single games before, too, so it's not surprising.

What route? They made a complete game then decided to make some more levels for it after it was done. "Oh no, they made more game for me to buy." People have wanted this kind of shit from Nintendo games for a decade. Now we have it, and ABLUHU

3 levels seem like bullshit
Nintendo wants to charge more for their content, understandably, than what is the norm for micotransactions. I just think that they need to put more content/value into it.
Who wants to buy 3 levels? That's like <10 min. of value. I wouldn't even want to waste my time downloading them.

And they're seeing all those Japanese smartphone games making mad money.
It was announced less than 3 hours ago.

I still think they should moneyhat HL3 exclusive.
I'm getting whatever pack Bullet Bill Hell (made up name) is in.
I dunno, that Bowser pack looks like it will take a lot more than 10 minutes

2$ per pack. Each pack has 3 courses. Cheaper than I thought.
lol
Someome said it was literally announced seconds ago
Another says half a day ago.
NeoGAF sure has no sense of time :lol

I'd rather it be a world of levels for, say, $4. This isn't interesting to me at all.

Weren't these levels developed after the game went...for lack of a better word here, gold? Like, I don't mind post-game stuff if it's seriously post-game stuff. FF XIII-2 is precisely a game that does additional content terribly, as you can see where the holes are in the title for add-on stuff. In New Super Mario Bros 2, all of that extra stuff isn't even accessed in the normal game.
yea, serious lack of hard levels in that game. i blazed through the entire game which i did not expect, since Wii version was so hard.

If they were main-mode levels, sure. They're coin rush. They're designed for score attack. You're supposed to replay them for a long time, not "beat them then stop."
I'd buy it for $5
Bundle?
I'd be down for that.
What's the second pack WW high score thing? Are there going to be leader boards?
Bundle?
:O do want
