I'm sure it will happen in their next console, It could make developers some extra cash. Just like I hope next Wii console u can re-download your Virtua Console games.

Nintendo doesn't need it but for games like Smash I would like it. And again Nintendo does not need it but DLC can also let a game sell more.

I think Fallout 3 for example would have soldless without all the DLC...Every few months the game got hyped again for the new DLC so gamers who forgot about the game and did not purchased the game maybe will think again about buying the game.

Well I love the DLC in Fallout 3 I spent more than 100 hours into the game and buying their DLC is like thanking them for bringing this awesome game on the market.

The only games that need DLC are games either based purely on online multiplayer or that have a subscription fee. This means games like MMORPGs and online shooters, etc. Of course, this DLC has been present for a long time, but it's been called a patch. DLC should never cost money, in my opinion, unless the game is F2P and your business model is based on micro-transactions.

As far as I'm concerned, buying the game itself is how you thank them for bringing the game on the market... no?

For all the people who says No DLC No all I got to say is

DLC can be really good because even tho most of the companies make you pay too much for it when you shouldnt in the end it comes to you to know if its worth payin for
so just to get the option its something good for us gamers

Bad DLC = single item sales. Some of those items are locked on the disc. costume colours(SF4)
Good DLC = entirely new large segments of game play. Awakenings(DA), The Pitt(FO3)

Good DLC extends life while both making games more feasible for developers and more worth while to the gamer since DLC can be cheap. Unfortunatly Console developers like Capcom don't understand this and are screwing up like Bethesda did in their first DLC content. People don't want to pay $5 for a horse, but will pay $10 for a good amount of extra fun.

In time it will be a decision for developers to handle the ever increasing costs. Go DLC for a majority or their big budget games or go out of business.

Nintendo will have DLC too someday. It seems that it's a good idea that Nintendo doesn't do DLC, but that's not a limitation that they don't want to. It's that there programming style is about 10+ years old. Great engineers, awesome at polish, but it's old school.

I'd love to see any proof of this.  I mean, I'm sure you've done plenty of impressive research and you're not just talking out of your ass.  I'm also sure you're not conveniently ignoring that development costs are significantly cheaper on the Wii than the HD consoles, and thus they can make a profit on any game that sells decently, and don't necessarily NEED a big game to sell 6-7 million (even though they often do) in order to be profitable.

unless it's free dlc, HELL NO!

This the only download content I will ever buy is the Wiiware games and a few VC games never ever will I buy stuff that should have been in teh game in the first place. I repeat NEVER EVER

The one thing I hate about the Wii is how reasonably the games are priced. $50, for a video game? And it doesn't have twice that in DLC? BULLSHIT! I only buy $150 collectors packs! And I download all the DLC! And I buy a new PS3 with every game!
