Also, the JP site confirms once you've bought one pack, you can't go back and buy the discount pack retro-actively.

No, you have to buy the full bundle up front.

Wow, they actually went ahead and remade the first two Mario Golf 64 courses.
And all the courses but the Galaxy course use a remix of the suitable Mario Golf 64 music. Pretty sure only the first two are actually remakes though.
Also, whoever decided to actually go with that green for the Yoshi hole is a dick. EDIT: In a good way.

Oh, I thought you said "can" not "can't."
So it's just like Mii Plaza, then. Bummer.Guh, Golden Mario's fireball thingy seems obnoxious.
There will be demos this time, however, unlike Mii Plaza.Oh, I thought you said "can" not "can't."
Yep, that's a plus. Try before you buy.

Yes, a limited selection of courses will be available to try.
By not paying for dlc? I don't feel like I've missed out on anything significant. I've played both Arkham games and never bought any of the dlc. I've never bought any Nintendo dlc yet. The closest I came to wanting to buy dlc was the Brotherhood of Steel dlc for Fallout 3, but in the end the content on the disc was enough for me.
With a Ghost Trick avatar, I get the impression that you've played the Ace Attorney series. The DLC case of AA5 is right up there with the best of the series.
The Pikmin 3 DLC was pretty great. Really great additions to the Mission mode, if you're into that. Actually, now I'm bummed that they seem to have stopped making those.
Oh that may be true but I haven't finished the main game on AA5 yet. When the time comes I may purchase that dlc.

Wait a damn second, the first 4 courses so far appear to be remakes of Mario Golf 64 courses. Let me check the last two.
EDIT: Mountain course? Boo Valley. That's 5. I now believe that yes, these were done after development because it's feasible because they're remakes.

Guys, guys, guys.
All 6 courses are remakes of the 6 non-mini golf Mario Golf 64 courses.

Nabbit looks awesome. So glad he is appearing in at least one spin-off. Make him a recurring character like Birdo Ninty!
I hope the DLC characters aren't automatically star characters and we actually have to beat them in match play on their respective DLC course (Toadette: Toad Highlands, Rosalina: Mario Star, Gold Mario: Koopa Park, and Nabbit could be either of the courses in his DLC pack).
I'm totally maining Kamek, Toadette, Birdo, and Nabbit.

Is that a bad thing? I didn't play that one.
Did it have less cool course features like pipes and such because the system couldn't handle it?

OMG, brb have to buy eshop pre paid cards
care to explain? The core game is cheaper than it was, making the final price with the season pass little more than any other 3DS retail release, and it nearly doubles the number of holes. I fail to see how this is "some of the worst savings".
You save a total of 3 bucks, 16% savings. Why is Nintendo even bothering with a season pass?

16%. That seems fair.

How does a Mario Golf animation look better than the entire NSMB series?

I think its funny some of the people in here who are hating on this dlc would have rather had all these dlc courses have been held back for a mario golf 3ds 2 released in 2 years and they'd have been happier paying another $30-40 for content they'll get now for $15 and it'll all be on the same game no need to switch between them to play on different courses
arguments are now invalid
98 lives. fucking lol

It didn't really have that kinda stuff at all. It stuck to the basics and I would say that it excelled at that.
So if you haven't played the courses before then it's not a bad thing at all. For people who have played the courses before I imagine it will be a "How much did you like them?" sort of thing.
That reminds me, I'm STILL waiting for those Art Academy SketchPad lessons.

I think it's largely a good sign, because I really want DLC for games like Mario Kart 8. We already know we're getting the full normal allotment of tracks, so we're not getting short-changed on the main game, but I would gladly pay for more tracks whether HD remakes or brand new.
My only nitpick is that I don't like day 1 DLC - it's better used to extend the life of the game. I'm fine with the amount of content and price point Nintendo has been offering on DLC, though.

Toadette's animations are so cute.

It's more like why did Nintendo bother calling it a season pass. It's just a DLC pack.

yeah that's my main problem with it. They were very clear in the beginning that they were not going to go that route. It's the precedent this sets that bothers me because while it isn't bad value proposition for Mario Golf there is no guarantee about how future releases will pan out.

The day the DLC comes out should have no bearing on its worth or quality. Just pretend it came out a few weeks later if you must
kunonabi
Member
Nope. I've had enough crappy experiences with day 1 dlc where I don't give anyone the benefit of the doubt in. Quality isn't the issue when I have to wonder about how that DLC came about.

Can you cite that? I remember Iwata mentioning he was against locking a core part of the game behind dlc (like with the story content in ME3 DLC), but not day 1 dlc.
Tom Nook Sawyer
Member
Then don't wonder. It literally does not matter. All that matters is if A) the game is worth the price as is, and B) if the same applies to the DLC.
kunonabi
Member
I'm not sure where the original statement was but i think one of the Iwata Asks had a developer mention how there were restrictions on when they could start on DLC. i'm thinking it was nsmbu but i'm not positive.

you arein luck then , because they will let you try the dlc befor you buy it
