2 different ways I would like to see MK8 DLC handled

1. Each month release a new GP (4 tracks) with a new character and vehicle for say $5 (im not good with US DLC prices)

or idea 2. A $30 expansion 6-12 months after release like a PC game would receive. This includes 4 new GPs, 5 characters, 2 new vehicles for each weight class (1 bike, 1 kart), a new game mode, other new features.
Hell they could do this twice throughout the games life looking to double their money.

Why would you, as a consumer want to pay double the money for a single game? What do you win from that? DLC should never exceed 25% of the original price, that would be disgraceful and dangerous. Will ultimately lead people to buy these games from the bargain bin.

Well, that was basically a whole new game, even sold on its own, and the price was 20 bucks for those who bought NSMBU at full price, so 33% the original price for double the content.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Point is it shows Nintendo is not against releasing DLC for more than 25% of the game's price, and based on NSMBU's sales even before the bundle, it didn't cause people to wait until it hit the bargain bin!

idea 1 is kinda impossible. 2 is within the margin of possibility and would be cool.

33% is closer to 25% than to the 100% suggested. And Mario was about the only game worth buying for half a year, no wonder it sold well.

Yes.

They could both add new characters, levels/tracks that would extend the enjoyment of the games.

I would love it! More content to keep me hooked to the game!

I don't understand why people are down on Smash DLC. It makes so much sense, I don't understand why people would not want it.

From what I'd gathered looking through this thread, because it should have already been there, and because it'd feel weird. Definitely no flaws with these reasonings!

Free DLC. Paid DLC can go fuck itself.
