If Nintendo uses microtransactions, they'll do it right - just like they have with DLC. Nintendo just gets how games are made.

I dunno, they're as prone to fuck ups as anyone else. Especially since they were bopping around in their own little bubble while the rest of the industry came to grips with bewildering things like HD graphics and paid DLC and account systems some 10 years ago. The Mario Golf DLC menu looked like something I would expect from an EA game, right down to the day one paid DLC. They even made the rookie mistake of making it virtually impossible to find online games for your paid courses unless you're lucky enough to get matched up with another player who also bought the DLC.

Plus, Nintendo is like any other company in the end. Once they realize that people are suckers enough to pay for something they shouldn't, they're not going to just leave all that money on the table.

Yeah, they're prone to fuck up their HW, not so much with their SW. I agree that that specific DLC doesn't sound ll that good, but as I understand it Hyrule Warriors and Mario Kario 8 have done it VERY well.

If your last statement were true, shouldn't they have had paid online on Wii U? Hopefully, that'll NEVER change!
