This thread reveals to me how much people don't understand the business, and how entitled people have become. While I do understand as a consumer that the prices seem steep, especially considering the original game costs vs the price of the DLC content. However, a lot of you guys really don't understand how or why it's priced the way it is. Saying it's a "cash grab" just shows how little you understand, because OF COURSE it is. That's the point of paid DLC. Any DLC that you pay for is meant to be for profit. Do you really think Nintendo is doing this to service the fans? Smash Bros is a big series, of course they will want to profit off of it after release.
Nintendo isn't screwing the customers over either, since the game as it was when released was a full game, not game that had things taken out so they can be put back in and be charged for. You can make the argument that it should be cheaper, because as a customer you feel like the value of the content is lower. Problem is that the costs that went into making that content available plus the expected amount of people who get it also goes into how they think it should be priced. They give it a price that they expect to yield the most profit.
Most other companies are going to be the exact same way. Saying Nintendo is going too far for doing what companies do is holding them to a standard that doesn't make sense. It makes more sense if you guys were actually a majority when it comes to purchasing DLC. Many of you probably don't buy DLC much to begin with.
