For a game like Wii Fit adding additional exercises for $1 a piece would be ideal, or a game like Art Academy adding an additional series of lessons for $5 would be fantastic.

Correct .. now step out of fantasy land. When has this industry acted responsibly in regards to DLC? on average the industry as a whole gets a F on DLC. I know it's Nintendo but will they resist the greed?

You're seem incredibly annoyed and agitated.  Relax.  Is it really that hard to fathom that the DLC just might be worthwhile?

You seem to be comdemning this before you even have details and ripping HappySqurriel just for throwing out a few ideas he has about how DLC could work out well. 

Chill out.

The Industry has not done well when it comes to pushing the good aspects of DLC, more likey than not DLC is pure greed. Its even worse from east as east believe's removing features that have been present in previous installments then reselling them, locked content on the disk, DLC in development before the actually game is even out, and just low quality overpriced junk counts as DLC so xxcuse my pessimistic attitude towards DLC.

Considering Ninty's pricing strategy?? Im going with greed.

Im fine with that, Nintendo has always been a high quality company, so the DLC should be fair. Also this is Fire Emblem, if it were Animal Crossing then I would be worried

they should not be doing dlc whatsoever for this game. i thought nintendo was better than that. but whatever, i will draw the line once they start making their manuals digital.. or even worse; once they implement online pass

I don't like where this is going.

I typically find Nintendo's pricing strategy pretty fair but based on a different evaluation process to other companies ...

As a result of this I wouldn't be surprised to see the downloadable content to be more expensive than many publishers but also contain much more value for the dollar. Using Mario Kart as an example, Nintendo might end up releasing additional content in $10 bundles but for that bundle you get an entire new circuit and several additional characters and carts while many other publishers would charge you $5 per track and $2 per character/cart.

Oh crap. Nintendo is going down the pathetic road of DLC?

I am not sure how to react as I love Fire Emblem as much as I hate DLC. Hopefully, the DLC will be more meaty for the buck than most other releases from the competition.
