Nintendo has the power to set a standard on DLC pricing in a way almost no one else can. They're competitive on content/$ -- it'll prompt others to stay competitive


Sorry, but they don't really have that power.

What's special about this dlc?


cheap as hell. Best dlc ever. 


I've seen better value before and it didn't change anything, i don't know why this one would change

If you were to ask your typical COD player if they'd rather pay 15 bucks for 2 maps or this DLC they'll say the 2 maps because COD > Nintendo "kiddy stuff" (not my words)



ea has made a billion dollar this year already with dlc, they will change when the consumers change, not when nitendo does something

So I'm gonna ask to YOU: tell me one with better value. NIntendo is selling another half game for just $12. I don't remember any DLC that cheap.

half game? It's just tracks and racers

Guerrilla has released 8 maps and 1 game mode for free on Killzone Shadow Fall

3 weeks from now i'll be receiving free DLC for Shadowrun Returns which includes 5 new missions, alternate story endings, overhauled turn based combat, new interface, 10 new music tracks and a free OST with all music for base game + expansion

For Dawn of war 2 i remember getting a whole new game mode for free (The Last Stand)

There were several other examples, specially on PC.

Yes. Half game. 8 new cups and 6 new characters. We are talking about paid DLC's. 

 

Also I can use your own words: It's just maps for Killzone, just new missions, etc

I didn't call them half games did I?

And it's better cause it's paid? ok.



I think the MK8 DLC is great value but no, I don't think EA even gives a shit.

Wait what's the difference? I mean its a good value (I just preordered the 2 pack) but it's also judged differently from an adventure game like AC


How about NSLU? Is that a better comparison? (just asking^^)

Still doesn't really answer my question.  It's just DLC with a good value it's been done before.

no, it's not better because is paid. It just has the better value to date. Just it
