Every dlc for online games needs to be included in updates, even for those that won't buy/activate it.

And even if it does activate automatically by updating the game, so what? It's just there. It won't taint your experience in the slightest.

I don't see the big deal about the optional Mercedes DLC. No-one is compelled to download it unless they wish to.

You statement is somewhat false. If you want to play online, you must download the update which contains the DLC.

But there's nothing that is forcing you to use the cart. It's entirely optional.

Some of you guys make me giggle. If you don't like the DLC benzes, here is an idea! DON'T DOWNLOAD IT AND DON'T USE IT. See? It isn't that hard! You guys are impossible lol

And yeah the bloke who tweeted that nonsense probably got fired.

True, but the post I was responding to didn't say that.

I don't think this is a big deal.

There are far worse industry trends that Nintendo can do to screw us over.

More like don't use it, seeing as it is most likely part of the update you have to download them.

Everything can change, but I'm never changing who I am

Day 1 DLC, on disk DLC, online codes, and the list goes on.

Nintendo has done nearly all them apart from online codes (But the prices are higher offsetting that).

Day One DLC - Mario Golf
On Disk DLC - Amiibo or anything for the DS that was unlocked via the wifi connection was always on the cart already. Don't know enough about how similar things on the Wii worked.

They improve the game, IMO.

It is no trouble until now when it cannot happen any more.

Initially my reaction to this was "meh". The GLA looked out of place. But after seeing the Silver Arrow and the 300SL in motion in the latest trailer, I can't wait to get these Mercede-Benz free of charge.
No, I don't thing having say Wario driving a Mercedes-Benz convertible in his "Wario's Billionaires" stadium will kill the magic at all.

Wether you agree with Nintendo's free DLC or not, ask yourself if Nintendo or a member of their payroll have ever publicly criticized a partner? I can't think of that ever happening, even when they've had a good reason Achoo! EA Achoo!. It's very bad business practise, and could cause Ubisoft Wii U game sales, that is if they bother to make any more Wii U games.

Isn't it obvious that Falco Lombardi is actually a parrot?

Well they hammered Sega in that Senate hearing.

And stopped Dan Adelman saying what he wanted. (Seems he has good taste unlike the soulless people doing the Nintendo minute).

I am pretty sure there was Marlboro advertising in MK64....

On the topic of DLC, I like to look at it from the following perspective:

1. Is the initial package (game) worth the price?
2. Is there enough content to warrant a full experience?
3. Is the DLC optional in most cases?
4. Does the DLC add value to the game, hence the extra cost (if it costs extra)?

I've played games like Fire Emblem and NSMB 2 that I can say without prejudice were full experiences worth their price. Despite the "Day 1 DLC", I wasn't really mad because the DLC was optional and extra, and it adds value to the games. Nintendo's done a great job so far from not turning DLC into a microtransaction hell.

Sega was a competitor at the time, and Nintendo never said anything negative of Adelman in the press or social media, in fact it was Adelman that used Twitter to publicly criticise Nintendo. And because of it, they asked him to leave their employment.

Hard to say it loses magic. I think it offers more to the zanyness of Mario Kart in it's own cool way.

As soon as I saw the trailer I knew I wanted to use one simply because of how silly it looks....I think it might have added to the magic in my case XD

It's NEVER a good idea to publicly criticize the company you work for.

You're right. In fact, I can't remember a time I've been forced to buy DLC ever! It's amazing!

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.
