I feel like we should be rewarding this behavior.

This is fine.

Especially for story-driven games, I think it's a bad tendency to add on to a finished product just to extend a little bit of life out of it. I complained about the re-release of Radiant Historia this way.

Good for them if they don't want to make additional content, not every game really needs that, but implying that games with DLC are incomplete just by virtue of having DLC is pretty ignorant

Radiant Historia is a finished product.

The extras and dlcs in the rerelease are completely not necessary. It's not really additional content is more like substituting your fries for onion rings

One thing Nintendo does right. Except Mewtwo should have probably been in Smash at launch

Nintendo fucked that up so hard.

"check out Mewtwo! You are only going to get this character if you buy both 3DS and Wii U"

I think that's the very definition of additional content.

Nah. It's alternative side content. The base game is wholly complete. If the remake never came out you'd never feel the original lacked anything.

What I'm trying to say is that the base game concluded in a very satisfactory way (imo), and the extra content, which while optional to complete, continues the story further and gives you a new ending. I feel that the end product of RH:PC is weaker than the original on the subject of plot because of these addenda. I mean, you have played it right? The additional content literally continues on from the ending.

Definitely picking this up during it's early release tomorrow.

Guess I should finish up the Mario x Rabbids dlc tonight then.

I am really feeling the temptation to get it. Between the Amazon Prime preorder discount and some credit I have on Amazon, I could get it for about $34.

But I can't imagine finding the time to actually play through it before I ship out to basic training in September.

That was moreso Sakurai realizing that families with multiple 3DSes but only one Wii U may have a conflict over which of those 3DS-owners gets to have Mewtwo on their game.

I bought a switch specifically for this game too

To anyone looking to buy a switch, if you buy one at Best Buy, you can get one of 4 games (Odyssey, BotW, Mario Kart and I forgot the last) for half off.

It's a fantastic deal. Thanks @Caution999
