The Fire Emblem DLC was already known. Hurray for Mario DLC, but I'm not getting the game so whatever. I gotta ask. Does Nintendo think more people tune into their Directs than E3? This was much better than E3.
I don't like the fact that they're charging for the DLC though. Nintendo said they weren't keen on DLC before, and Reggie looked a bit nervous when he announced that it is a full game on its own.

E3 is dead. It's no longer for the gamer anymore. It's for the casuals now.

Hm. Well, if Fire Emblem was any indication, their prices on DLC will be worth it. I think it was at 300 Yen or something, I don't know.

This will probably be a new trend with Nintendo. Mario Kart and Smash Bros. will definitely have DLC. I'm not sure how they could incorporate DLC into some of their other games, like Zelda or Metroid. I'm sure they'll find a way, though.
My thoughts on Zelda, add an online Four Swords multiplayer mode.
My thoughts on Metroid, make a fps war game where you play as Galactic Federation soldiers versus Space Pirates.
Just made me even less excited about New Super Mario Bros. 2. But I would love to see MK7 DLC... Even though it's an outstanding game, don't get me wrong, that game is terribly short sans online... More unlockables please!
I don't mind DLC as long as it isn't really absurd for DLC and especially as long as people don't go all corporate white knight about it. I honestly think I would have bought more DLC other than the moderately dissappointing missing sequences in AC2 if it weren't for those people.
Nintendo has repeatedly stated that they want DLC to be like an expansion to an already completed game, not to nickel-and-dime us all. In other words, they want to make DLC like Fallout 3, not DLC like Capcom is doing (Sakurai).

If I were Nintendo, I would price NSMB2 DLC proportionately to the price of the game itself. By this I mean that if they decide to release a DLC pack that contains 10% of the content of the game, they would charge 10% of the retail price of the game. Makes sense to me, at least: Nintendo has the defense of saying that NSMB2 is a fully featured game, the DLC they release isn't on-disc DLC, and the DLC is fairly priced. That's at least what I'd do, anyways. Even though Nintendo has been learning from a ton of their past mistakes, like their decision to bring along EA to help with the Wii U's online and the eShop sale of SML, they can still mess up in huge ways.
@AlexSays - Obviously, you don't watch Spike TV. In the week or two leading up to E3, they were promoting the heck out of their coverage of E3. If that's not a sign that E3 is moving towards the casuals, I don't know what is.
I'm fine with DLC as long as it's fairly priced and it's nothing stupid like:
"Mario Costume Pack! Now you can dress Mario in anyway you want!"
or
"Background Changer! Sick of the background of the level? Change it! Pick your favorite or draw your own!"
etc.
I'd like to see more levels and power ups via DLC. Those'd make sense.
My SD Card with the game on it is just as physical as your cartridge with the game on it.
I love Nintendo, that's why I criticize them so harshly.
Yay,for over charging crap that could've been included in the game for free.
