Gross, if true. Extra stages and/or characters should be included in the base game; consumers shouldn't have to spend extra money to get a complete game experience.

I sincerely hope Nintendo doesn't continue to walk down this cynical path with its upcoming software.

Settle down, we don't even know if its going to have a price tag. For all we know next year theere will be a 2.0 patch that shares the stages between 3ds and wii-u for free. Or stages will be bundled in with a new game mode / characters. The data is just there as a preset for what they know they want to do. 

Remember, its Sakurai leading the way on this game.

Fair enough. I don't mean to jump to conclusions.

That being said, considering Nintendo's prior moves with Fire Emblem, Mario Golf, and, most recently, Mario Kart, it's reasonable to assume that Smash Bros. DLC, if it indeed exists, will be paid.
