Wow, DK is $70 not $80 like MK. PHEW. Oh wait they had $20 DLC waiting for less than 2 months after launch.

I can't comment in the quality of the content included with the DLC as I've yet to play it but it's the timing that's objectionable. Your $70 wasn't good enough for Nintendo. This should have been a free update regardless of it's quality.

Glad I didn't buy DK yet as maybe they'll have a bundle with dlc later... Though probably not. BOTW doesn't. Greed.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding, but what you’re saying is that had Nintendo released the DLC a little bit later, all the sudden it’s less or no longer objectionable? I don’t understand. Nintendo often finishes projects well ahead of release; for the DLC content to have been done similarly well in advance, and Nintendo looking to pump it out ASAP, I do not see the problem? It was developed with the intent of being it’s own thing right from the get-go as is clear by the fact that (i) a completely separate team of devs worked on it, and (ii) the content is vastly different and by no means complements nor fulfills the base game experience. It’s a $20USD bonus mode; it is by no means essential to the “full DKBananza experience.” Saying that the game now costs $90USD sounds similar to saying Mario Galaxy’s price jumped to $100USD with the release of Mario Galaxy 2 (which was intended to be DLC, and is far more of a “completion” of Mario Galaxy 1 than Emerald Rush is to DKBananza).
