Topic: Keep it on the Download

I've enjoyed Mario Tennis, but I've done most of what you can in the game, and will probably leave it for a while. However, I think I will go back to it the next time there's a downloadable character, and will probably play the game quite a bit then, thus keeping me interested in the game and providing a kind of longevity.

I realise it's been around for a while, but I've not had much experience of downloadable content.

I raise this because I wonder if downloadable content provides a problem for reviewers. It's a problem that seemingly isn't there to the same degree for reviewers of books or movies. When someone reviews a book, I'ts more definitive (although there are occasions where information is out of date, etc.); whereas with downloadable content, a game's worth is potentially evolving over time.

So, I'd be interested to hear thoughts on this from reviewers on Nintendolife and elsewhere, as well as from the general Nintendolife community.

Thank-you.

As most people on this site have probably gleaned, I'm skeptical on whether NSMB2 is worth a purchase, and have doubts as to how 'new' it is. However, if the promised downloadable content is good and innovative, I might have to give the game a second look, especially if perhaps at a later date you could download the actual game at lower than the retail price. Just a thought.

An unrelated thing that just made me realize I might actually buy NSMB2: I have almost $30 of eShop credit. That would make the game only $10 or so, and at that price I'm more forgiving towards a lack of innovation.
