Just because it's better than what other companies do (and by God, it is, Nintendo are far less scumbaggy here that other companies) doesn't mean it's acceptable. Ultimately it is Day 1 DLC, and worse, it's Day 1 DLC locked behind a physical figure that costs way more than the content it unlocks is worth. I appreciate the figure and therefore I find it to be completely worth it and good stuff, but if one doesn't appreciate the figure then it must just be frustrating to constantly have game content locked in this way (with no alternative way of unlocking it).
When compared to Ubisoft, EA, Activision and co it wouldn't even register on the scumbag scale. But I hold Nintendo to a much higher standard than those companies - I think they're a far superior publisher and I don't want them to slowly become like those guys.
