People will be having a lot of fun with the regular online  mode. In the meatime they can still enjoy the shop, the arcades, most single-player challenges, and likely the amiibo ones too.

Better to judge when we know exactly what these updates are and how many of the content is only available later.

I'm thinking that, at launch, we will have a great and complete multiplayer and single-player experience off the bat, with more things to keep us excited over time.


And I'm thinking that the experience you described is an F2P game with a $20 single player campaign. Not a $60 premium retail game.

I'll consider buying the game once it's actually complete. Launching an online game with only one online mode and five maps is comedy on the cusp of parody. It's insane how Nintendo gets away with this kind of shit. First amiibo, which is the most offensive form of DLC I've ever witnessed, and now they are literally selling an incomplete game and bragging about it.

"But oh! They are just giving the game legs!" If the game launched with legs, it wouldn't need to stitch them on later.


Amiibo is the most offensive DLC ever?  Now that's comedy on the cusp of parody.  There's exactly one game with meaningful content tied to Amiibo and that's MP10 and lo and behold if is priced with that in mind, with $59.99 including an Amiibo.  As for this being a F2P model, uh, no.  F2P is dependent on micro transactions and IAP.  This has none of those so far.  This is just the same model from Team Fortress 2.  Now whether you LIKE that or not is your own business, but this is a model that has been used before to great success; your vitriolic wailing is just plain hyperbolic.  And the content they showed is launching this summer anyway.  By August the game will have at least 15 maps, 3 ranked modes, more weapons, etc. plus enhanced matchmaking and so on.  Yes, this is a strategy to extend the legs and launch impact.  And I personally take no issue with that so long as the content hits fast.  If they said throughout the rest of the YEAR, then I would be much more upset.
