I see both sides of this. And, ultimately, I think this is more about optics than anything.
I paid $70 for Donkey Kong Bananza. And I loved it. You can read my review here: https://www.vgchartz.com/article/465231/donkey-kong-bananza-ns2/
The existence of $20 optional DLC doesn't make me love the game any less. In no way do I feel like the base game is missing out because it wasn't bundled with this DLC.
That said, the timing of this DLC suggests a certain cynical, money-grubbing approach by Nintendo. Had they held onto it and released it next summer, I think there would be far less disappointment and skepticism. I don't think the problem is the existence of the DLC, or even the price tag; it's that we can all tell it was developed in tandem with the base game but sold à la carte.
