How times change. Some years ago at least Nintendo fans still got "the full package" right from the start.

Yeah, people were really pissed about that Mario Kart 8 DLC either.

 

[forknknife]

Wonder how much storage space that will take... 😒

 

[KelpPlankton]

I can't wait to have Link run around wearing a real-world t-shirt with a Nintendo Switch logo on it. that's super bizzare

 

[NotLiquid]

.... Shit

Sure why not

 

[pinkurocket]

Y'all said Nint€ndo had to get with the times so here we are.

I'll buy it.

 

[Painraze]

Thank you Nintendo you did the choice for me, won't be buying the game until GOTY edition that includes all this stuff on the gamecard.

Way to stick it to them!

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

AAAAA

Spoiler

what the fuck

 

[Dagobert Duck]

Hot damn wow. So Nintendo biggest Zelda will get even bigger?????

 

[Lucifon]

Guessing it's something special as opposed to just a difficulty increase in terms of the 'Hard mode'. Otherwise surely it'd be there on day 1.

 

[KooopaKid]

For 20€, I expect a meaty new dungeon and additional story. I don't care about new clothes.

 

[klier]

New dungeon, new shirt and new story.

**IN**

 

[Conkerkid11]

How times change. Some years ago at least Nintendo fans still got "the full package" right from the start.

In most cases, you end up paying more to add onto that package though. I won't defend Nintendo here though, this content seems lacking.

The Witcher 3 is a best case scenario, and you got a full package from both the full game and each individual piece of DLC.

 

[Hexagon!]

a shirt with a Nintendo Switch logo which Link can wear during his adventure, exclusive to the Expansion Pass.

For a hot second, I thought "Expansion Pass" was the name of a DLC-exclusive location in the game. That would have been really funny.

 

[hotcyder]

Seems a bit weird you'll get the Nintendo Switch T-Shirt in the WiiU version :|

 

[BitStyle]

"New original story."

Hmmm. Go on.

Spoiler

Zelda please.

Would be nice

 

[metalslimer]

That second pack launching so much later gives me hope it will be substantial. I'm not really interested in the first piece from the sound of it. Though I imagine they will be like 15 bucks a pice making the pass worth it

 

[Dark Cloud]

Wow. I love the idea that the new story will be a Zelda story! Like Zelda is playable.

 

[NoKisum]

Calling it now. Playable Zelda exclusive to the DLC.

 

[BGBW]

And people say Nintendo doesn't get online.

Never expected DLC for this. But the value doesn't look to be there. Add-on features seem pretty shallow. The second pack will be what sells me depending on the story addition.

 

[frankie_baby]

Yeah, people were really pissed about that Mario Kart 8 DLC either.

They were?

 

[Waji]

And here's my very bad news of the week.
I really don't like DLC especialy if it adds story/meaningful elements.
This is sad.

 

[Bazry]

Paying for a hard mode? Hmm, not sure about that.

Pretty sure they already did this in Twilight Princess HD, wasn't there a new hard mode if you used the Ganon Amiibo?

 

[YuriLowell]

So we have an incomplete game until Holiday.

Youtube video of Aonuma announcing it.

 

[martino]

nintendo....why ?

 

[kulapik]

Hopefully that new hard mode is similar to the Ganon amiibo one and there is a proper hard mode on the game

 

[mocolostrocolos]

Fuck.

I'll bite.

 

[GulAtiCa]

New dungeon? In!

 

[Conkerkid11]

So we have an incomplete game until Holiday.

That's not how developing content post-launch works.

 

[Shiggy]

Yeah, people were really pissed about that Mario Kart 8 DLC either.

Well, 20 EUR is what I'd normally pay for a game like this one year after release

 

[Hermii]

I hope Kimishima never forgets this quote by his predecessor.

"We will not deceive with dlc"

 

[EatChildren]

Nintendo DLC is a mixed bag. With some of their titles I'm unimpressed with how they've handled pricing and content, but with others (namely Mario Kart 8) they've done a superb job.

Latter half sounds great, former half not so much. I mean, it's hard to know exactly what they mean, but it doesn't sound appealing to advertise "a new hard mode" as paid DLC.

 

[Caelus]

~20 USD for a new dungeon and story later in the year? Alright, I'll bite.

 

[Gaogaogao]

I expected more from nintendo

 

[hEist]

why?

 

[entremet]

Pay for online play.

Season passes.

Nintendo is growing up!

 

[Ody1977]

Anyone else see Zelda cleavage instead of clenched hands in the artwork?

Only when I zoomed in, for educational purposes, I noticed the optical illusion!

 

[khaaan]

First set of DLC doesn't sound particularly exciting but the holiday drop is intriguing. Nintendo did right with Mario Kart so I'm optimistic with this.

 

[tolkir]

 

[Malakai]

Fuck me. Y'all wanted Nintendo to adapt to "modern gaming trend" and here we are. WTF Nintendo?

Wtf? No.

Nobody said that.

 

[runnin_blue]

Yeah, not sure I like Nintendo "catching up to the times". Season pass/expansion pass is an ugly concept.

Still, they did the MK DLC really well, so I will give them the benefit of the doubt for now.

 

[Screamapillar]

All indications are that the game is quite hard compared to previous Zeldas. So a hard mode would then presumably be like Death March in Witcher 3. I'm fine with that. I never do hard mode in videogames, particularly the first time through.

 

[daxgame]

finally Nintendo is catching up! /s

Well, i'll pass

 

[KingSnake]

The Switch keeps getting pricier.

Maybe I should just stick to the cheaper Wii U version for now and buy the Switch GOTY version next year for cheap, maybe during some drought.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Is the expansion pass crossbuy?

 

[UncleSporky]

The holiday content sounds more interesting.

I read this and thought you meant like a Santa suit for Link with a candy cane sword or something.

 

[NotLiquid]

The first half of the DLC is.. eh, but if the price of admission for it includes all the goodies of the second half it's not a bad deal. Bit of a shame that Hard Mode is part of that but then again we don't know what it contains.

No.
