This DLC image above is a perfect example of what happens when you're only focus is on short-term gains. Nintendo doesn't do this and likely never will. Its anti-consumer and focuses on giving the consumer a lower end product while increasing the price. Additionally, it ruins the IP.

Nintendo already had DLC with Fire Emblem, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, New Super Mario Bros U and probably other games. They made with SteelDiver SubWars a Free 2 Play game. And they made Wii Sports Club, and let you rent the game for a short period of time. The Karaoke game is the same. So actually Nintendo does already the same.

same game time and time again is the entirety of what EA creates.

Nintendo's Super Mario and other IPs are 100% new and completely different games each iteration. There's a reason they sell more on one console than Madden/FIFA and other crap sells on all cosnoles combined.

You clearly do not play Nintendo hardware and are basing your logic on fantasy ignorant beliefs held by self-proclaimed core gamers.

Just because something retains its full value over time does not mean its somehow bad.

Fact is mario, zelda and other games are supremely popular for the entire life of the hardware and well after where the games 3rd parties shovel out are proven to be worthless a month later.

Nintendo DLC is like the 1995 picture. You actually buy wholly new content.

NSBU is perfect example as is Pikmin3. Both cases you are given amost entirely new games or levels. Not pieces that complete the original game.
