Thankfully you are there to defend them, no matter how wrong they are. That's why you are my soulmate.

Yeah, that's why I said it falls in the middle. It's not bad, but still not the best either, at least compared to MK8. Though at 15 USDs, I would seriously bite...

It's been alright, some games have been better than others.

MK8 DLC was done nicely, though I think Smash DLC was a little messy.

My thoughts exactly xD ehh atleast we get xenoblade chronicles X dlc day one instead of payibg like in japan

They could be doing it even better, but yeah... I would say their approach is "classy", since it's still much better than 99% of other options.

It hasn't been perfect for every game.

But in general, I like that most DLC content genuinely has been NEW content NOT already on-disc, and that they haven't taken to nickle-and-diming the fans. I hope they stick to that approach.

They're as good/bad as anyone else.

Know what I love about their DLC? Usually won't change much.

Sure, Fire Emblem was a disappointment(though that will probably change in the next game), the way they established DLC was great.

Smash bros didn't deserve DLC hate- I mean, who the hell is going to buy every costume? No one! that's the point! More variety for your preference. yeesh.

Mario Kart did have 8-16 dollar DLC, but it was worth it. 3 new characters, 8 new tracks, and new karts for that amount is 100% worth it.

Edit: Oh, and Amiibo's are the same thing with Smash. You don't need them to enjoy all the game's content in the first place. Just preferences.

I thought Mario Kart and Hyrule Warriors were very well-priced for the amount of content provided, and I'd gladly jump in on similar deals in the future.

I wasn't a big fan of Smash Bros' DLC...but I am grateful they offered invidividual items rather than force me to buy a bundle of things I don't care for (Lucas, amiibo costumes, etc).

I didn't bother with most of the Fire Emblem Awakening DLC, despite me being a huge FE fan. It was all bonus material, and the few packs I played didn't really compel me to keep buying content. At the same time, since it was all supplemental material, I had no problem skipping it either.

I haven't played Fates yet, but I'm sure I'll end up buying every story-path. My stance will be based on how long the individual stories last, though what I've read so far leads me to believe they'll be on par with past handheld titles, so I have no reason to complain currently.

So far, my experience with Nintendo's foray into DLC has been positive. Like has said been said earlier though, this could easily change, but there's been enough positive examples for me to be optimistic.

I'm most concerned with what they'll do next gen DLC wise. Right now they're just trying to keep people playing the Wii U, so they're giving away a lot of free content. Will they do the same if, say, the NX takes off and they hit those Wii era profits, or will they milk the hell out of us? There's no precedent for us to really go by on that front, and in many peoples' eyes they've done a bit of both.
