I think there are also many games with more content for two dollars. However, your points are definitely fair. We're not at Capcom levels, and I hope we never get there.

Would you expect him not to say that?
It was the way this one was announced. First no info, then a time, then 3DS specific, then NSMB2 DLC. All of that happened within 3 hours.
A shame it doesn't appear they put the hooks in for things like that. $2for 3 new Mario Kart tracks. No one would be complaining.Or even $5 for me
they'll come for Wii U, just wait
after the patch I think Nintendo is done with Mario Kart 7
Yeah, I just put 3 out there for the reference to NSMB2 packs. They would definitely have to sell them in packs of 4, and given the time it takes to create tracks, I imagine they would be more in the $5 range at least.
Wouldn't it be great to get a new cup every four months though, alternating 'brand new' and remade retro cups.

So wait, the DLC can't be purchased from the eshop directly?
Was it the same way with Fire Emblem?
If so, that's just stupid. Would prefer to be able to purchase directly from the eshop.....

Was there an American Nintendo direct today? The other thread indicating there was one for the US got closed
When Mario Kart Wii U is released I want a Double Rainbow Cup consisting of the previous 7 Rainbow Road courses plus a new one.

man, video games are weird these days
go back in time and tell a kid that in the future they can play a portable mario game and then pay ~$5-6 to magically summon 9 levels (or the equivalent of a new world) from the air itself and they'd think you were some kind of techno-wizard from space

What was their philosophy for choosing what characters and maps to offer for Fire Emblem and to eventually announce a sequel series to the DLC? From my understanding, after the character/map DLC, they're now focused on making all new, difficult maps to conclude their efforts on the game.
Yeah, those dicks
And you wonder why Nintendo wants to avoid the smartphone market...
No, but you generally don't see Nintendo saying one thing and doing another (primarily because they don't say anything at all unless it's already happening, but you get my point).
Yeah I can't believe those assholes would offer new content for a game.

Why are people mad at Nin............oh, nevermind
No, it was said it would most likely be a video put up some time tomorrow. Probably just an English version of this one with the NA price and date.
tell them now and they grab the pitchforks
You're gonna go far junior
Did you play it?
The second round of DLC was another response to fan requests--they wanted extra-difficult stages and more support conversations. I can't remember if the swimsuit thing was a request or just some weird, out-of-the-blue thing... it may have been a response to fans' reactions to the DLC character redesigns? I'll have to look it up.
I agree, I can't believe Nintendo's been hyping this conference for days and it turns out to be just NSMB, WOW, just wow Nintendo...Oh wait.
useless reply is useless
Keep reading past that post.
I'm so mad that I'm gonna un-buy NSMB2.
I haven't quite figured out how yet, but I'll do it!

You purchased Fire Emblem DLC in-game in a special section of the map.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Yep, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you could buy Theatrhythm DLC from the shop either.
IIRC, Nintendo doesn't allow for DLC for retail games to be sold on their various shop channels. They had the same policy in place for Wii, as well. I suspect the same will be in place for the Wii U, which is just as well, since virtually every game that has DLC hooks has some kind of in-game DLC store that you can browse.
I always thought it was funny that people were so upset about the Persona 4 Arena region-locking that they were calling for a boycott but almost nothing about the 3DS and Wii U.
...What? What if you beat the game?

Haha wow that's shitty (not just the announcement but the fact they had a whole Nintendo Direct about it.) I already got rid of that game so no thank you. Now if they were talking DLC for Super Mario3D Land, that'd be another matter altogether.
I think you can, or at least it's listed there. I don't own the game, but I saw a list of DLC on the eShop when I downloaded the demo.
I think you can see/manage it from the eShop once you've bought it, but not buy it directly (I don't own Theatrhythm so don't quote me on that).

Once the credits roll, you can re-enter your file with the last level unbeaten.
Also, don't worry guys, I asked for a Wario and Peach pack in my JPN Club survey. It'll happen.

Not gonna lie though the levels look fun as hell. But Im still saving my nsmbness for nsmbu.
Er, what aspect of the eReader cards was an "awful, customer abusing concept" with regards to the SMB3 levels?
I'll grant that the eReader was a fairly silly add-on, but the SMB3 cards gave you several new levels (new data encoded on the card, NOT unlocked) for about $4. I'm confused as to why you consider them to have been "customer abusing."

Portable Mario was kinda shit back in the day and paid extra content when wads and the like were free? No thanks.

The Wii U version of Mario Kart, if the battle mode is free for all (required for actual fun, as I game in a group of three), could single-handedly smash through my reluctance to buy the Wii U and my utter distrust of DLC.
That said, I'm neither angry nor enraptured by this particular news. We expected it, the price is not horrible but not great, and I guess it's okay that we're not playing two bucks for a cape or something similarly superficial. Nonetheless, New Super Mario Bros 2 should have come with a level editor and the ability to freely share created levels.
It's almost like they're there to relay information on already released or upcoming games on Nintendo platforms.
A direct communication between Nintendo and the consumer, if you will.

Someone needs to alter that Kotaku Slowpoke picture to have Nintendo finally realizing that DLC makes money.
