Sakurai calls DLCs these days a scam

That is true that it`s extra content available on day 1, but I wouldn`t necessarily call that a scam. They aren`t cutting out extra goods to pay extra for them, but attaching it to amiibo as an unlockable. While true you have to buy the figurines to get them, but resource had to go into making those, so it`s not like Ninten is making quick extra money. You`re getting something more than just the extras, but a figurine as well, which you can use however you like. For some, they may want the figures anyway, so it`s more a bonus than forced extras to get. I can`t really put this and day 1 DLC in the same light.

Digital DLC costs money to make, too.

Well, I`m meaning in the sense that the extras in question where made with the original budget or essential to making the game a complete product, as Sakurai stated. I don`t mean Digital DLC that was made post production.
