Re: Ubisoft Makes Little Mention of Nintendo in Plans for Financial Year, Sales Show Why

This is disappointing but I can't blame them.
The Wii U is a disaster and the vast majority of ppl that own one have shown that they'd rather let their console collect dust while waiting on 1st party games and/or play 3rd party game on different platforms.

You can't really blame consumers though. They're going to buy what they're interested in and what they can afford. Nintendo is going to have to do a much better job and pretty much do a complete 180 in quite a few areas if they're going to create a platform where consumers want to buy these games and publishers want to put games on their hardware

Opportunity cost plays a huge role in acquisitions. Maybe Nintendo thought that increasing their internal staff would better serve them(since they've been severely understaffed for years) than just making another acquisition. It could have possibly been cheaper too.

This comment just seems sour since people have impressions on DLC and Nintendo just started releasing DLC content in their games. And it seems that most have an issue with companies go about pricing and releasing the content the extra content.

I'm usually on the fence with DLC and it depends on both the price and the content, but I see no issue with this. They're offering the game at a discounted price and giving you a lot more content that will come out to $5 more than the normal $40 retail game if someone chooses to purchase it. Its not mandatory.

Also, those of you saying you have no issue as long as the game is complete have no clue if the game was stripped of its original content and used for DLC or not in most cases There's just no possible way of knowing for sure. Whether the extra content is released on the same day of the game or 6 months later is irrelevant. If you like the game and the extra content, then buy it and show support. If not, then skip it.
