It kind of makes sense that "fighter" costs would go down over time, given the fact that the main framework for the game has already been created in the previous installments (and more than half the fighters in the Wii U version were already available in previous SSB games, including Lucas).

@Zombo
Think about this:

• The retail price of SSB Wii U is $59.99. That includes 37 fighters, all the levels, stages, trophies, modes, event matches, etc.
• The Lucas DLC costs $4.99. That includes 1 fighter and nothing else.
• $4.99 out of $59.99 is 8.3%
• You are paying 8.3% of the full retail price for only ONE fighter!
• If you were to get all 37 fighters (forget about the rest of the actual game!) and divide each one by $59.99, each character would be worth $1.62
• Therefore, if you round up and for Nintendo to make an extra profit, a fair asking price for the Lucas DLC would be $1.99.
• Conclusion: Nintendo is overcharging an extra $3.00, which I think is unfair.

@DarthNocturnal
I just can't shake off the feeling that Nintendo is playing off the SSB fanbase and treating these fighter DLCs as a cash grab...

@hypercoyote
True, but I also think that quite a bit of tweaking and balancing has to be done with the 4 new race tracks that they offered in each DLC (and karts with the different stats) and I just can't accept the fact that one previous SSB fighter would cost the same as all of that!

@Retro_on_theGo
Yeah, but still.... $4 for an old SSB fighter still seems pretty steep.

@Caryslan
Yeah, I agree that it would be nice if they could bundle the characters together. Lets say a "3 Fighter Bundle"... it could include two previous SSB fighters like Mewtwo and Lucas, and a new one. Another bundle might include Roy and Pichu, and a new one.
Or maybe one old fighter and two new ones. That could be worth the $8 price tag.

$3.99 for one character???
The DLC pack for Mario Kart 8 costa $8 bucks and had 3 characters, 4 new karts and 4 new tracks!!!
Rip-off!!!

I think this game will be a big disappointment unfortunately...

Where is Golden Sun 2?
And Konami Krazy Racers?

@Steel76
"empty and unpolished"
Exactly! I like Mega Man and really had high hopes for this game when it was announced, but everything I've seen about the game so far has been..well..boring.....

Never bought or played a Harvest Moon game. Might give the Wii U version a try...

Hopefully it's the first of many Mega Man announcements.

Where is Konami Krazy Racers???

I'm getting a bit tired of "understanding"...

I'm going to wait for the reviews to come out before buying a physical copy.
So many of these kickstarter games end up lacking quality that I just don't trust them anymore (although I did fund Yooka-Laylee...couldn't resist the Rareware nostaliga).

At 0:02, are those Yarn Yoshi amiibos on the top shelf?
Sure looks like it.

The "Donkey Kong Country" games were also made this way, with the music being directly tied with the level design.

Nice little video

What about Golden Sun Part II?

Good ol' Traveller's Tales

All I care about is a western release for Dragon Quest X on the Wii U.
Make it happen Square Enix!!!!!!

Fox McCloud yoshi!

I remember it sort of flew under the radar when it came out.
Those who played it really liked, but in typical Nintendo fashion, the game just wasn't advertised properly...

I'll be picking it up on launch date (whenever they announce it for the U.S.) and hopefully pick up all three different colored Yoshi Yarn amiibo!

Nintendo should help SquareEnix localize Dragon Quest X for the Wii U.
The Wii U needs more third party games!!!

@bizcuthammer
Agreed. It seems they just want to cancel the Wii U version because third-party games don't sell well on the Wii U and they are trying to blame the cancellation on "hardware limitations".

@ibis_87 So true... what a shame

@MitchVogel Wow... thats just bad news :/
And I've spent a lot of money on these VC titles. Hopefully Nintendo keeps the WII U servers up for a long time. Thankfully I've bought all my Wii U titles in physical format.

@brooks83 Yeah, I live in the U.S. and I was super mad when I went to download DKC3 (the only one I was missing) and the title wasn't available anymore!
Had to wait about 2 years to purchase it on the Wii U Virtual Console :/

@WinterIceFox @Grumblevolcano !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was always under the impression that a game that was purchased and downloaded from the Virtual Console (Ex: Super Mario World) would be kept on my Wii U hard drive!!!
But I don't get it... If I download Super Mario World (software) onto the hard drive, how would Nintendo have access to it and be able to delete it?
And since the Super Mario World software is a self contained game that does not require online connectivity, why would a server dying out automatically delete the game on my console?

@Grumblevolcano I see... I was worried there for a second!

So if I understood the article, even games that I have purchased on the eshop and downloaded onto my Wii U can be deleted at any time???

Is Sega still going to make console games, or is it going only to mobile like Konami?

I wonder if Konami Krazy Racers (GBA) will ever come to the Virtual Console?

Capcom is slowly becoming more and more irrelevant. Only a matter of time before they go the Konami/Sega route....

I hate NoA :/

I just want Star Fox U to come out by the end of the year.

40k is a pretty good salary in the U.S. (depending in which state you live, of course...)

A western release for Dragon Quest X on the Wii U pleaseeeeeee!!!!!

@TruenoGT
Agree 100%

What about "Golden Sun: The Lost Age" and "Advance Wars: Dual Strike"?

Goodfellas: "You told them nothin' and they got nothin'"

@Yorumi
I have a feeling that is going to happen pretty soon...

@SanderEvers @mjc0961
And Crazy Taxi, Resident Evil, Virtua Fighter, Devil May Cry, Shenmue, Dead Rising, Phantasy Star, Ghosts 'n Goblins, Panzer Dragoon, Okami, Jet Set Radio, Viewtiful Joe, ChuChu Rocket... oh, so many great franchises!!!!! drools

How about a Western release of Dragon Quest X on the Wii U???
Make it happen Square Enix!!!

Another one bites the dust...
If the big japanese companies are doing so poorly (Sega, Capcom, Konami) I hate to think of whay will happen to the smaller ones.
Then again their overhead costs are fewer, but still...

As long as I get all three colored Yoshi Yarn amiibos I'll be happy!

Gave this game a shot a couple days ago. I've only been able to beat one level and I've already died like 40 times....
And this is someone who beat Megaman 8 on the Playstation1 years ago...

• Wave Race U
• Paper Mario U
• Earth Bound U
• Buying SEGA and CAPCOM
  That is all...

Cool... but I'm still getting all 3 yoshi yarn amiibos!
