| ToraTiger said: Sorry from my experience on DLC, Nintendo is still pretty bad considering how little they usually offer in their core games and how big the DLC is. Might as well just increase the price of the game. Mario Golf was overpriced considering how much extra content that could have just been in the game which you had to get by buying Fire Emblem was so overprice I dont even have to argue it. Brb 7.50 for 3 fukking maps. Mario Kart 8 honestly should have included more maps to race on to begin with. It's had the same amount of maps since the DS game 10 years ago. Let that sink in, the same amount of maps as a handheld game released 10 years before it. They should have just included 10 cups to begin with and it would have lessened the blow of paying out for the second batch. Smash is like 99 cents for a single Mii costume or something. How is texture and brief poly swap worth that much money?? |
As stated, Mario Golf's base price was decreased and still offered an equivalent amount of content to previous Mario Golf entries. Even with the DLC it was essentially twice the amount of game for virtually the same price as a typical 3DS retail game.
Fire Emblem DLC was expensive, but like I said, it was all extremely peripheral content that had no bearing on the core game.
Mario Kart 8 had just as much content as everybody expected, leading most fans of the series to conclude that it was the best game in the series. Comparing it to older games and expecting more content doesn't exactly make any sense. Final Fantasy 4, 7 and 13-2 all take around 40 hours to beat despite releasing on the SNES, PS1 and PS3 respectively (according to how long to beat). That comparison holds no water whatsoever. Overall, the base game was a complete game and the extra content was priced extremely fairly and was extremely well designed at that.
As for Smash, look at costumes in virtually any fighter that has released over the last 10 years. The pricing of costumes is pretty much the same, and the pricing of mewtwo is generally lower than character prices in other fighting games (4$ vs 5$ in KI) in addition to the ability to get the character for free.
