>sell cut content DLC at a premium>add time-gated missable content to said DLCHow do they keep getting away with it?
>>723870438Cult user base that's never experienced freedom
>>723870438I think the weirdest thing is a singleplayer game getting live service updates and special events over Mario Kart.
>>723870438>>add time-gated missable content to said DLCHuh? Have I missed stuff because I've been playing Silksong?
>>723870647No, it's going to be next week. It's just an event that adds modifiers to Emerald Rush that increases the spawn rates of certain kinds of perks (chip-related ones in this case) and you'll get a Kong Bananza and an Enguarde statue if you reach a certain score while the event is going on. They'll most likely rotate once all events are done like, say, the costumes in Mario Tennis Aces.
Just dont play it. I gave up on FOMO. I will play seasonal stuff if I play currently, and might even grind for it, but I dont care if I miss cosmetics for a game I dont play anymore.
>>723870438Nintendo does this kind of thing all the time. It's time-gated, but not permanently missable. It's a yearly schedule.
>>723871358I recently completed everything I wanted to do with the game. I really enjoyed it, but sort of feel like I should move on to other things. Also the DLC is probably too expensive and I might pick it up later if it goes on discount or something.
>>723871867Still, it's odd to do it in a purely single-player game. I love Emerald Rush and I'll stay on top of these events but it's annoying having to check when one is available and play in a specific window. The statues aren't anything important but it's nice to see DK Island all decorated.
>>723870438Because everybody else has already gotten away with this for decades?Why even ask such a retarded question that you already know the answer to?
Emerald Rush is legitimately great. Getting the multipliers going and seeing your score go higher and higher is surprisingly exhilarating.
>>723870438>cut content DLCSource?
>>723874220I mean, if you release a DLC a month after release, it look bad. I understand that development wise it's after the game was going gold that they started it, but they planned it. No real reason to not have the seasonal stuff in the base game.
>>723875601I get that it looks bad, but on the flip side Nintendo has a history of having games finished and ready to launch years in advance before even announcing them.The base game could have been finished long before DLC was even planned.
>>723870438>be mentally ill macaco>having another hallucination seethe thread.
>>723870438>Time hated content in a single player game What are they even thinking with this?
>>723875601>No real reason to not have the seasonal stuff in the base gameExcept it's a business, retard, they don't work for free.
>>723870438It's free on the niggertendo shitch 2 emulator
>>723875601anon... the dev team are literally different from the dlc
how is the dlc anyways? i haven't turned on my switch 2 after i finished the base game like 2 months ago
>>723878298Very fun and addictive as long as you like roguelite modes. It makes you get intimately familiar with the levels and experiment with DK's moveset, which is something you could do in the base game but was never necessary. As someone already said, seeing your combo go up is extremely satisfying.
>>723876786I am not saying it's effective because people will forget this is a thing almost immediately, but I assume the idea is that they have very few Switch 2 games out at the moment, so creating a replayable side mode for one of their only games and giving it seasonal rewards would encourage people to come back to it every now and then to keep the Switch 2 relevant even with a small library. Why they didn't use fucking Mario Kart for this is anyone's guess.
>>723878217It has no impact on the consumer.
>>723879262I'd rather them have released it in September when Bananza was still fresh and they had no other game coming out than wait a couple more months to create the illusion they didn't make it immediately after the base game and have it be buried by Pokémon, Hyrule Warriors, Kirby and Metroid.
>>723879262except for spreading misinformation of course
what's with this narrative that somehow, if a game has a switch 1 counterpart, people won't play it in switch 2
>>723870438It's only $20. Less than the amount required to put some gas in your vehicle once a week.
>>723870438>cut contentThat was DEBOONKED by Nintendo experts
>>723880016What misinformation? Did they not release a DLC less than a month after the release of DK?
>>723880673A month and a half.
>>723870438seems like they didn't get away with it, people aren't biting
>>723880673yeah, but that doesn't mean it was "cut"
Nintendo Derangement Syndrome
>>723878298It’s $20 for a half assed roguelite mode. It’s one of the biggest scams Nintendo has ever released. DK Island is completely barren and doesn’t even have any bananas.
>>723880794yeah and crossworlds crossed a million
>>723881537Like I said, it does not matter to the consumer. It's a DK64 nostalgia DLC soon after release
>>723872106>love Emerald Rush and I'll stay on top of these events butAnd that's how Nintendo wins. Complacency.
>>723882492I'm one person and I'll play the events because the mode is fun. If few other people will, then their takeaway will be that it's not worth it, but for me it's no big deal either way.
>>723881723>DK Island is completely barren and doesn’t even have any bananas.because that's not the focus of the dlcall the development effort went onto the roguelite mode
>>723881723>half assed roguelite modeThere's nothing half-assed about it, it's very well-made.
>>723882258the "consumer" narrative implies it follows the cut content narrative, because if they didn't care, they'd realize the main focus was the roguelite
>>723870438eric was right..
I love Dk Bananza and the DLC but timed events in a single player game is beyond retarded.
why can't he wait for thursday
>>723882492>ComplacencyIn other words, offering a product that enough people are willing to buy. You're just butthurt because either: A) the product doesn't appeal to you and this upsets you for some psychotic reason, or B) you're too poor to afford the product.
>>723883283he's already fuming at circana sales
