Yeah I kind of realized this too, while reading the thread. Adding new levels, via DLC takes a lot less time than making entirely new Animations, 3D Models, Code, Textures, etc. for a whole new game. So like some other people said, it looks like Nintendo's DLC is just a matter of giving their art departments something to do while pre-production and coding for their next projects get far enough along to require art/sound/level-design assets.
