Forums - Nintendo - Super Smash Bros 4 Wii U/3DS DLC Model: Good or Bad?

Tagged games:

I have to guess it was Namco who came up with the DLC model because it essentially follows the DLC model for other fighting games.

Have a question since I dont own any of the DLC packs but...

Wave 2: Roy, Lucas, Ryu, 2 Stages, 8 Mii Fighter Costumes
- Collection Price $21.96 ($29.16)
- Fighter Bundle $17.96 ($21.96)

Whats the difference between the collection and fighter bundle? Is the fighter bundle only the 8 mii fighter costumes or wht o.O?

The fighter bundle includes the 4 DLC characters that have been out plus Ryu's stage. I don't think Mewtwo is in Collection 2.

Too expensive to start with and also why am I paying more for the dlc to work with both the wii u and 3ds. Should be one price for both.
I can't say I like the smash bros dlc practice, especially when hyrule warriors and mario karts were so reasonable.


what if someoen only has a wiiu they would eb paying the same price as somebody else for both versions when thye wanna buy 1 version.



It's not bad. It's terrible.
I fear for future Nintendo franchises.
Green tunic, red tunic or purple tunic for 3.99
White Epona for 2.99
Biggoron's Sword for 2.99
etc.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Fighter bundle includes all DLC characters including Mewtwo.. which means you get Roy, Lucas, Mewtwo and Ryu + Suzaku Castle

This pack does not give any discount compared to purchasing each DLC character separately, but instead allows for easier shopping on eShop as buying multiple DLC is rather confusing

I don't see the problem, it's the same as cross buy on the Vita. Nobody cared or complained that they were paying for a vita copy of a game they couldn't use.

My 3ds copy of smash is now even more inferior because to get both its even more overinflated than the standard price already is.  

The kicker is that if I now decide to buy the dlc for the 3ds, I have to pay full price again as I can't upgrade my already purchased dlc.

I doubt it will get to this degree, but Nintendo can definitely make even worse DLC options. They have already included Day 1 DLC, but I don't see them charging like this. The closest I can see is with locked useful or good weapons with Amiibos (like in Splatoon) :/

Wat

So the price is higher because its all bundled together but if I buy the DLC characters and stages (which is what I want) separately its cheaper? Madness XD

Damn dat Nintendo seal of quality on DLC.

No, the price is the same. If you purchase all the DLC characters plus Suzaku Castle separately, it is exactly the same price as the Fighter Bundle

The reason it's even there is to allow people to buy them all without needing to purchase each one by one

Oh your post confused me lol

So if I buy this - I get all the characters but for some of the stages I need to buy them separately right excluding Suzaku castle?

Yes, when you buy this pack, you get all the current DLC characters only

No stages are included, with the exception being Suzaku Castle (as it's bundled with Ryu)

Not a big fan of the pricing model, though I do like how I can pick and choose what I want. There's a ridonk amount of Mii costume DLC that I have no interest in...and thankfully I'm not forced to overpay for packs that throw them in along with content I do want. Other than the Street Fighter stage, I don't think I really cared for any stages, so I didn't feel forced to buy them either. That basically just left me with Roy and Ryu for both games, which wasn't a huge added cost.

Still...I think this game would have benefited from a Season Pass or a more appropriately priced DLC package. I was really impressed with the amount of content included in the DLC packages for Mario Kart and Hyrule Warriors, so it seems like Nintendo sorta took a step back with this game.
