Fairly recently, Nintendo has finally taken advantage of paid DLC. Like FE Awakening and NSMB 2 for example.

Anyways, do you think XY will feature paid DLC? Maybe more options for trainer customization?

While I enjoy the idea of events beign catchable like in Gen 3 and 4, fuck that, I'm not giving GF money for minor stuff like that that should be in the game in first place.

I'm not getting any of the DLC unless it's free or it's something big with a convidative price.

It'll just be shit like that, if they do have any DLC. They wouldn't be pulling stunts like >>12551944, because unlike game studios that so shit like that (looking at you, Square Enix, they pulled shit like >>12552112 mentioned), they actually turn a profit, which enables them (and possibly even encourages them) to do events and shit. Yeah, some of you are joking, but, I kinda hate threads like these, ya know? Something about them just compels my autism to post about this stuff.

I'd be completely fine with this if, after they completed the game, they continued on making new levels and etc. to download. This is what they did for FE:A. It wasn't that they made you pay for parts of the game that should've been included, it's that they kept developing after their deadline to provide more content they couldn't include before because of time restraints.

It also helps them gauge what they should fix due to fan reaction.

Bad taste is that way:

Besides, DLC isn't inherently bad, even if it's paid. If they added a whole new route/area for a dollar, I might consider buying it. Adding content to a game long after they've finished developing it shows that the devs care. It's when they overprice it that they become greedy Jews.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with Fire Emblem.
But even so, it's still nickel-and-diming (or $1-and-$2ing) your fanbase. Who's to say that they wouldn't have added that route anyway if it wern't for the "DLC mindset"?

No one is saying that Nintendo doesn't have the ability to just throw their hat in with everyone else, it's just that the current 2 games that have paid DLC are fair about it.

DLC in Fire Emblem Awakening is basically lore-breaking characters (characters you've killed in game, characters that make no sense in that period of time, like Marth and Roy), and new "expansions" like the beach set that is mostly bought to fap to.

I would not be opposed to the idea of DLC replacing the usual 3rd version (Z or X&Y2 or whatever). that way we can just have 1 universal game for the generation that lasts 4 years.

there's lots of potential. for a few bucks they could offer a new area to go to with rare pokemon, a mini-story and sidequests involving special characters like old gym leaders

Them.
Because if Fire Emblem Awakening didn't make the money that it did, they were going to literally cancel the entire series.
So I sort of doubt we would've seen most of that stuff, especially since deadlines exist when making a game and either you ship a half-finished product or you cut the unfinished parts out and they're never seen again.
Who's to say we WOULD have gotten the DLC/Map/whatever else anyway if it wasn't for the DLC mindset?

Who's to say that we would've had any fire emblem at all anymore if it wasn't for the DLC mindset?

I assume you mean "emulate the games", which will be impossible until the 3DS encryption is cracked in some way, and even then it'll probably be imperfect (like how the Xbox 360 encryption was never cracked, people just found a way to trick the disc drive into playing burned games).

There's a right way and a wrong way to do this

wrong way:
- unlock event pokemon, special abilities/movesets, areas, etc with a purchase

right way:
- allow people with the original games to download updates as dlc, rather than needing to buy a rehash for a couple more features. For instance, Let's say you have Diamond and you want the extra content from Platinum. Rather than buying an entire new game for what is 95% the same (I'll never do that) you can just pay a small price to "update" your game with the new games content.
(Nintendo would never do this because it makes too much sense from the consumer's point of view and it wouldn't let them milk nearly as much as they want out of us.)

Better way:
-Release a sequel so you get new plot, new challenges, pokemon that were previously uncatchable without trade, new areas, new gym leaders and progression all in one perfectly presented version that fixes any problems that were in the first game.

I know what I prefer to just a half arsed bolt on DLC battle tower. Saying that the 3rd games are 95% the same might have been true in the past but actual sequels in BW2 changed all that.
