I love DLC when it provides meaningful content like Mario Kart 8, Hyrule Warriors and New Super Luigi U. Adding new fighters to Super Smash Bros. is complex as it requires full balancing with existing characters so I "agree" with the price and will buy them. Also, there's probably a much smaller team working on the game now. But those costumes are pointless and I agree with the above posters - vote with your cash and don't grab them!
I think it will be something you can plug on a TV and pair Wiimotes for multiplayer OR take out with you and play on its builtin screen wherever you are.
Nintendo is a very wise company. Female Dogging out its IPs like Sega and Square Enix would earn Nintendo loads of money in a short time but they would lose value really quickly too.
No one understands what's going on with the Final Fantasy brand today and Sonic, well...
And, of course, they will under-produce Toad, who's the only char who hasn't been released before AND can be used to unlock something beyond Smash Bros / Mario Party.
The game is short and sweet but if you're the time trail type you can redo it all for extra replayability. Yes, about the backpack thing I was really shocked to defeat a goomba using the spin while I went back to clown around in the first levels!
There's just no way ONLY ONE SINGLE COPY has that glitch. And regarding the customizations, I think they're ace but I'm not talented/brave enough to try.
I think I read somewhere half of the DLC tracks will be revamped tracks and half will be new... so considering the two DLC packs we'll get 8 retro tracks and 8 new ones - which is great considering the low price point.
I'm on the fence... Why Nintendo had to make both so desirable? Each one for their own reasons! Right now I want the smaller one but if the Super Smash Bros (Metalic Red) edition of the XL model comes over to America then I'm sold!
People are nasty about Dark Pit, Lucina and Dr. Mario... but they are NOT occupying no one else's place. If they weren't in the game, they wouldn't be in the game. It's not like Ridley, Birdo and King K Rool would appear there in their places. End of story.
@IceClimbers one of the Nintendo guys said the Smash Mario would have a big portion of usable data for Smash and a smaller portion for "other games". I assume a smaller portion equals smaller or limited functionality...
I need to wait and see how will they work across multiple games. Also, I need to see if having a "Smash Mario" counts as having a fully fledged "Mario" on other games or they'll release multiple Marios.
its vile same goes for identical games being released on 3DS and Wii U... when in doubt about which one should I get I end up not getting anything at all x
I'm sure this one was cheaper to develop compared to 3DWorld as they had the engine and most of the assets already done. It just came down to adding a new mechanic here and there and creating the levels. The price feels right and I'm grabbing it on day 1.
Chances are most Platinum members have the majority of the games listed as Platinum rewards! Thankfully I haven't got Game & Wario yet so I'm grabbing that!

Re: Satoru Iwata Defends Timing of DeNA Deal, Teases Smart Device and Console Links in Club Nintendo Replacement
I think it's clear to see where Nintendo is going with this and I'm pleased... But knowing Nintendo you never know, right?
Re: Mysterious Murasame Castle's Takamaru Was Considered For Super Smash Bros.
Takamaru would have worked as a fast but weaker Link with some Sheik-like ninja skills? That would be cool but I agree, too many swordfighters in.

Re: Masahiro Sakurai Praises the Achievements of Steam, Isn't Content With Other Download Services
Bundles are amazing. When you look at trilogies like DKC, it seems very natural to offer them all in a reduced-price pack!
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th February (North America)
I'll wait for a promo on the trilogy.

Re: Amazon UK Delays Some Shulk Pre-Orders to Later in the Year
Card amiibos are vile I hope they don't become a thing.
Re: Mario Party 10 Official Website Prompts Speculation of Three New Super Mario amiibo Figures
Hoping the extra two slots are for Toadette and Birdo (so we can get their amiibos on the Super Mario range)
Re: Weirdness: This Video Uses Super Mario Bros. 2 to Illustrate the Consequences of Capitalism
Wait til they hear about Captain Toad's (and Toadette's) capitalist quest for treasure.

Re: GameStop Source Suggests That Super Mario amiibo Range Will be Available in "Abundance"
And, of course, they will under-produce Toad, who's the only char who hasn't been released before AND can be used to unlock something beyond Smash Bros / Mario Party.
Re: GameStop Source Suggests That Super Mario amiibo Range Will be Available in "Abundance"
These figures are simplistic compared to the Smash ones so of course they'll mass-produce these.

Re: Mario & Donkey Kong Double Set and Nintendo Pocket Football Heading to Retail in Europe
Amiibos with unique ID codes on them that allow you to scan them once to redeem a game.
Re: Weirdness: Super Smash Bros. amiibo Modifications and Game Glitches Emerge

Re: Yoshi Circuit From Double Dash!! Makes A Comeback In November's Mario Kart 8 Zelda-Themed DLC Pack
I think I read somewhere half of the DLC tracks will be revamped tracks and half will be new... so considering the two DLC packs we'll get 8 retro tracks and 8 new ones - which is great considering the low price point.
Re: Hardware Review: The New Nintendo 3DS Is The Best Yet

Re: Super Smash Bros. Slams the Competition Yet Again, 3DS Sales Drop
Yoshi's New Island is a great game. Brilliant art direction - stills don't do it justice!
Bayonetta 2 will do much better in the west.

Re: You Won't Need To Track Too Much Treasure To Buy Captain Toad
I'm sure this one was cheaper to develop compared to 3DWorld as they had the engine and most of the assets already done. It just came down to adding a new mechanic here and there and creating the levels. The price feels right and I'm grabbing it on day 1.

Some Virtual Boy games could be remade in 3D (Wario Land, Mario Clash, etc.)
