Mewtwo DLC announced for Smash Bros 3DS/Wii U

Then that's a special kind of retarded, haha.
But it IS Nintendo.

Like I said, it will either be on the eShop later, or hackers will do it for us. They do what Nintendont.

NOE says that it is a promotional offer period. So I am sure as fuck that it will be paid DLC.

Do it for us how? We aren't able to apply DLC to roms. And for now, it doesn't seem possible in the near future.

mewtwo was my favorite character on melee and the only reason i kept playing melee long after brawl, with mewtwo in a game again i can finally put away all my other smash games for good.

How the hell should I know? Either way, it's a dick move to make people buy both versions when many aren't interested in the 3DS version.

Or the Wii U version.

 

[Ryukouki]

Yeah, there's not a lot of interest on the 3ds version, only some 3+ million copies sold. No biggie.

I'm just saying, there are people who want one or the other, or both, but there will be people who only just want the 3DS or Wii U versions. I hope there's a DLC pack for other characters. Oh and 1080p at 60 fps confirmed http://playeressence.com/super-smash-bros-for-wii-u-runs-in-native-1080p-resolution/ http://n4g.com/news/1609334/super-smash-bros-wii-u-runs-at-native-1080p-60fps-with-8-players

What if there's more incoming characters than just Mewtwo, and the rest just haven't been announced yet? I doubt it'd take Sakurai 6+ months just to make one character, even if he did barely started making him.

It's called a marketing move. You want interest in your system to grow, then make it grow through target marketing like this. Nintendo is finally figuring out how to market.

True, and one would hope that eventually, it'll be available for those who only have one or the other. Hopefully, sales will at least not be as bad.

It most likely will be, but most likely paid for DLC or something else. Nintendo's biggest problem right now is they aren't doing enough push for the Wii U, this is actually a step in the right direction for them.

Whine, whine, whine...

If they didn't put mewtwo in the game, they'll whine that they cut content from the game

If they did put mewtwo in the game and not make DLC they'll complain "nintendont" doesn't support their games with DLC

God forbid you pay for extra content especially in fighting games where extra fighters as DLC is a common industry practice

Yes, so it is a good and right step, let's just hope that the momentum can be sustained because this game has a shitload of hype right now.

Why is nintendo going into the DLC thing...

There's absolutely nothing wrong with DLC. It's only an issue when content is ripped from a game to be used as DLC at launch.

Remember back when people bought a game and a new character came out, it would update the game with it?
Instead of having to pay 80$ then another 20$ for character packs for online

Nintendo UK's official Twitter reads:
WARNING! Mewtwo arrives in spring 2015! Register both versions in a promotional period & get him for free!
It kinda implies that it will be a DLC character that owners of both versions recieve for free rather than being available exclusively to those people.

They wouldn't spend so much time to make a DLC character if it were only going to be available during a promotional period.

No, I actually don't, except for indie games and free2play things.

 

[WiiCube_2013]

I registered the Smash 3DS Club Nintendo card so not only do I get the Smash 2CD Soundtrack (I'll also need to register Smash Wii U when I get it) but also Mewtwo DLC character.

Frankly, I don't really care much about Mewtwo as I often play as Mario, Link, Pit or some other character than Mewtwo in Melee or wherever he's in.

 

[stanleyopar2000]

damnit. hell of a thing to wake up to....

once I saw that N(Sc)amco was on this project I knew paid DLC was inevitable.

This promotional period is to see how people will react to paid DLC. And the very idea of DLC in Smash Bros. If it does well and it's well received. There will be more. I can guarantee that. Mewtwo will be free for multi-platform owners but that's the only bone Nintendo will throw at them in regards to DLC.

Spoiler
