I'm completely skeptical, but entirely anticipating this. I'll gladly buy the DLC, even if it is utter bullshit.
It had to come eventually. Mainstream Nintendo games getting paid DLC. I really do hope it actually is made after the game is released and not day 1 bullshit. I'm guessing Nintendo is just as easily corruptible as other companies though so I see this only getting worse, but hopefully I'm wrong.
Paid DLC confirmed? Or will they just have the stages available for download at a certain point? I'm not watching the stream right now.
I'll never understand why publishers announce shit like this ahead of time. Why not just release the game and THEN talk about DLC? You know, so you can at least PRETEND like you aren't just planning to milk people for months/years after a game's release?
Or do they think the prospect of DLC just gets us all wet? "ERMAGERD DLCEEEEE!!!"

Yeah, there's no way I'm buying NSMB 2, or Fire Emblem 3DS. I despise paid DLC, made before launch or after. It encourages developers to release incomplete games, and they should be releasing games they feel are free of flaws. Planning DLC ahead of time is just plain stupid. Funny thing is, I would have purchased both games if they didn't plan for paid DLC.
I for one love paying for content after I paid full price for games . . . no wait no I don't. I can understand if they are just going to extend the games life with free DLC, but come on when is DLC free?
@Mr Andy Dixon
The sad thing is, there are fans who have been asking Nintendo to jump on the DLC bandwagon. And I really have to wonder why, do they feel Nintendo games are not like the big boy games on the 360 or PS3 without paid DLC? Skyward Sword will be the last Zelda Nintendo will release complete at launch I'm afraid.

WTF man.... spend the money you spend on celebs to release content post release Nintendo you're fucking up
I forgot the worst part about this, considering Nintendo games never drop in price, it's unlikely we'll ever see any "Game of the Year" editions where we can just get all of the content included in one package. I'm sure they'll make billions regardless.
All games (sans some indie titles) are created to make money. If you think they are not then you are naive. This game will be created to make money, but since it is from Nintendo, it will still be fun as hell to play for mature gamers (mature in this case doesn't mean swearing and boobs, it means people who don't think "Mario r for teh kidz"). They will create some nice new DLC levels after the game is out and sell them for .99 to 2.99 a pop most likely, and they will be fun as hell too. Deal with it you annoying douchey whiny toolbag internet bastards.
Here's a crazy idea:
Let's judge Nintendo on the DLC WHEN the DLC happens. Just because some publishers handle DLC poorly does not mean all publishers do.
Capcom, EA and THQ have earned a bad rep, but let's not project thier failures on other publishers and developers.
Fun Fact: Fire Emblems first DLC was free for six weeks and none of the DLC pertains to the primary campaigns of that game. It's all frilly, non-canon fanservice scenarios with past FE characters.
Judge the content by the content, not the failure of other studios.
Nintendo has a pretty strong history of games with

And the DLC for Fire Emblem was developed before launch, and could have been included in the game easily. But they didn't.

@REWQ - and have you played any of it to see how essential it was?
I'm not saying I like it, but I have yet to see any solid evidence that FE is incomplete without it. FE games tend to consume laundress of hours.
Once you start moving up that high, I stop questioning how "complete " your game is. We're FE a 20 hour RPG THEN it would raise some red flags.

I never buy the 'could have been included in the game easily' argument for post-launch DLC. Yes, all of the paid DLC certainly could have been included at launch. If you wanted to pay more. Because it probably cost more to make.
Personally, I don't buy much in the way of DLC, but I'm not going to object to the model, so long as I'm still getting a good, complete game for my retail dollars (and more of what's in the game coming out as DLC does not make the game 'incomplete', no matter how you want to spin it).

Whaaaaat and nintendo might be entering the modern era I'n the worst way possible. Only would be acceptable if it was a Wario game.
Well, if what they say is true , I kinda like this approach. DLC should be something that comes later, and making that DLC in response to consumer feedback (rather than having it already made and just sitting there waiting for a lever to be pulled) is the right philosophy to have. So long as there really is a full and complete game on the cartridge and the DLC is reasonably priced then I'm fine. Although it is just kinda strange to consider that a Mario game is gonna have DLC. These are strange days we live in.
Do you have what it takes to collect one million coins? God Nintendo's marketing always cracks me up. He doesn't even sound enthusiastic at all haha.
Out of every 3DS game developed by Nintendo this is the one that needs it the least. First of all would be how similar the NSMB series is, if you want more levels buy another game in the series NSMB U is right around the corner. I'm not going to completely judge the DLC until it actually comes out, but it just doesn't seem necessary. One thing I can respect though is that they made it clear that this will not interfere with the typical length of the game , and that this DLC is only for the coin collecting mode.
What I would like some DLC for though is Mario Kart. Some new tracks would get me to start playing the game again, and I would really like some new characters like Dry Bones, Professor E Gadd, or Fawful.

i really don't understand the hate people have for DLC made by Nintendo. the only people who hate this idea obviously didn't read Nintendo's statement regarding DLC, nor did they see Fire Emblem 3DS's DLC. Nintendo stated numerous times that they want to do DLC right and that it will be ADDITIONAL CONTENT, not CONTENT CUT FROM THE BASE GAME.
DLC for Fire Emblem was developed after launch of the game and after taking feedback from japanese players and it was offered for very cheap with lots of content per DLC.
DLC actually fits perfectly into this type of Mario game - give us new levels with set of additional challenges in each DLC and it will be fine.

@TSP: i'm with you in the "wait and see first" approach, still, seeing Nintendo going the way of the DLC feels like the end of a golden era.
You can't really be upset with them making DLC to "grab cash" when people have been complaining about them not having DLC for them to throw money at for ages now.
Would it make since to have Wario as a DLC character for this game? I mean the whole premise of this game is coins!
Look at all the hypocrites come out to play saying "no wait before you judge!" hah
Fucking pathetic.
Fucking pathetic.
@Sayword- You're right, pre-judging is always the rational thing to do.
I can't speak for everyone of course, but I personally have never been against DLC in theory, just the irresponsible and greedy execution of it. Useless microtransactions, selling portions of the game that should be included from day one (see Capcom), and just plain old overpriced content (see Activision). So far, I see nothing wrong with what Nintendo is doing.

Sadly, this has become an major feature of this industry. It just seems sad when you think of applying this to other industries in entertainment. No would buy a code that allowed you to see deleted scenes in a DVD. The things that have become commonplace in this industry just seem sad.
Because announcing that you're going to be charging extra for new content months before a game comes out is really a great way to convince gamers they should give a fuck again.
