Smash Bros. 3DS Rom Dump Contains Evidence of DLC Plans

DLC has always been a possibility, and looking at Mario Kart 8 it would be a waste for nintendo not trying it out with Smash

Now, bring back Snake pls :'D
so he can say: "kept you waiting, huh?"

Now let's see how many people set themselves up for disappointment for Snake and Ridley 8)
sign me in for both c:!
 
Obviously, the 3DS DLC will be split into two categories.

Each pack will be three stages, 1 new character, and a few new alts.

3DS + New 3DS DLC.
Rayman
Snake
Lucas as a Ness Alt
Paula as a Ness Alt
Britney as an Olimar Alt
Protoman as a Mega Man Alt
Star Wolf

New 3DS ONLY DLC (This requires a New 3DS to use.)
Ice Climbers
Chorus Men
Ridley
Metal Mario as a Mario Alt
Pink Gold Peach as a Peach Alt
Cosmic Rosalina as a Rosalina Alt (Think a "transparent" looking Rosalina.)

There are so many possible things.
I like the idea of exploiting the extra power of the New 3DS for exclusive DLC though.
 
I really do hope we get DLC characters. Smash is the kind of game that lasts for years, and having some extra characters to spice it up would be amazing. Stages would be cool too, of course.

Fuck snake. Don't ever bring him back to smash.

Agreed. Should've never been in Smash to begin with. >.>

Bad idea, how would playing between each 3DS work if the originals don't have the power for ice climbers?

Dark Samus could have been great. But Sakurai went lol assist trophy.

Yep, she would have been awesome. At this point I think the only characters that would even be considered are Ridley, Adam, and Anthony. I'd love to see Rundas or Sylux, but I don't think that will ever happen.

Did anyone unlock the Rayman trophy in the 3DS version yet?

And I would love Snake DLC. I don't understand why some people are happy such a unique moveset is gone (and he's been on Nintendo consoles more recently than Ice Climbers).

Maturity, bitches.
I've heard Dixie/Ridley/Mewtwo/Chorus Kids too much for it not to be them. Impa seems like a good shout as well.

And this the the reason you've heard them so much. The easiest way to add credibility to a rumour is to include accepted norms.

If I had the facts and chose not to include any of the aforementioned names people would likely dismiss my info as fake since it goes against what people are currently believing.

I love the idea of themed DLC packs, such as "Software themed" (Konami, Namco, Capcom, ecc...) or "Brand themed" (Xenoblade DLC pack, or Punch Out DLC pack)
 
I don't see a future where this game doesn't have DLC. I don't care what we get, just as long as Professor Layton is involved. I was really holding out for him as a newcomer.

That doesn't work simply because that would require segregation of multiplayer. And trying to make that work would be difficult and ultimately to the game's detriment.
 
Sounds legit. This would be the text on the bottom screen when you're selecting options on the top screen, right? So yeah, here we go guys

Worked for ROY .... Fire Emblem already existed.

With Inklings it would be the first game released ever with the franchise.
Actually, Roy didn't do that well. His game never came out outside Japan. But it did get the rest of the world to go "Fire Emblem? What the heck is that and why is this Marth so awesome?" And so a Nintendo franchise gained a foothold outside Japan with respectable sales until several years later where Fire Emblem Awakening is a million seller.

Smash Bros is quite the effective marketing tool if you want to launch or expand a franchise. See also Pit in Brawl and Kid Icarus Uprising.

An Inkling in Smash a month or so before Splatoon arrives? I could totally see it happening.

Why wait to see if it's a proven IP?

Fire Emblem came out in Smash before the west ever knew about it and that greatly helped it's popularity here.

But it was already a popular franchise in Japan. Hell Sakurai even toyed with the idea of making them Japan-exclusive characters, from what I recall reading.

I think he'd also rather wait for Splatoon to actually come out so he can play it and use it as a source for the character.
