Hint: Wait a year or 2 later when they release the "Ultimate Edition" with all DLC included.
Fun Fact: Video games are among the most depreciating products in the known world. Whats $60 with $30 DLC day 1 becomes $30 with all DLC in a couple years. Learn to wait.

QFT.

QFE.

Explains why third party games don't do as well on Nintendo home consoles as on other systems. Nintendo gamers aren't as easily manipulated.

So people who buy third party games are being manipulated? Nintendo exclusive gamers have been the most rabbid, and I dare say brainwashed, of all the fanboys out there.

Screw it. Here's my real reply to this mess of a thread.

I'm not buying another console if it has "Nintendo" stamped on it.

I love the 3rd party games out there so I won't buy another console that fails to understand the third party ecosystem. Why? Fuck you, that's why.

Nintendo content is stale and old. The quality may be great, but it's the same old gameplay every year. I won't continue to buy their hardware until they learn how to attract more of the great third party software out there.

Nintendo 1st party software is largely about taking the same exact gameplay and slapping a new coat of paint on it. Give or take 3rd parties, it is a large melting pot of good and bad software, and you will find a large variaty of valuable and worthless stuff.

DLC is not good or bad in and of itself, its how each company uses it. Nintendo themselves have caved to using DLC. We are still in the beginnings of DLC and it will take time before things shake out before developers figure out what works and what doesn't.

I also refuse to cater to Nintendo's piss poor excuse of an online experience, there is no excuse. PCs have had a mix of both payed and free online play for its games. Games have been both more expensive and less expensive depending on the game.

While superchunk paints himself into a corner, I'm sticking to a larger ecosystem of 100s of games I like to play rather than the single minded focus of a mere few dozen.

So to Nintendo, I say rot in hell, I'm finally done with you.
