Nintendo Jumping On the DLC Bandwagon

Nintendo is sadly breaking down and jumping on the DLC bandwagon next year.

According to a report published by Japanese newspaper Nikkei, the company will release a paid expansion for Fire Emblem on the 3DS sometime in March, 2012. If the download fares well in the market, we can expect to see 3DS and Wii U DLC to become the norm.

And with that, DLC has finally conquered the last bastion of gaming. Fuck.

    yay now I have to $80 total to a game that shouldve cost $50 as a whole

    Knowing Fire Emblem, the DLC will be an entire campaign. It’s not a bad deal on paper for Fire Emblem, but that’s only if the base campaign is long to begin with, not if the campaign is short on purpose for the purposes of DLC.

    To be honest I’m surprised it took Nintendo so long. They’ve always been a money milking machine.

      Yeah, but they milk shit by rereleasing the same games from 10 – 15 years ago on new media and never letting their four / five major key francises die. DLC is a whole new level of ‘Aww, really, Nintendo?’ for ‘em.
