Well to be fair, there's a difference between a company copying someone else and just doing something that is 'normal' as in to be expected sort of, in the industry nowadays.
DLC, Season passes, and paid online aren't anything unusual anymore in the gaming industry, in fact most games have them nowadays and basically every console except Nintendo for a while had paid online, so just because Nintendo decides to start doing it doesn't mean they're copying necessarily.
Kind of like how a lot of older games that were big hits and set standards for the games in that genre doesn't mean that games that came out after that and played in that same style copied it, it just set a standard for what people could expect from something.
