Guess this means I should wait for the Switch Pro.

Both, WiiU and Switch.
To be fair, Nintendo has been doing season passes for a while now (though occasionally they avoided calling them as such).

Tell that to the Witcher. This is not a good stance. The fact that it's not out until winter gives me hope it will be beefy.

Truly. I can't wait to see the art book that materialises out of this game.

For doing something that every other develpoer/publisher has done in one form or another, including the critical darlings of this forum (Naughty Dog/Sony Interactive Entertainment, FromSoftware/Bandai Namco, and CD Projekt Red)?
People wanted Nintendo to get with the times. You get your "actual" account system and region free, and you also get paywalled P2P online and season passes. It's like these season passes help mitigate infrastructural costs. Or they're a money play that everyone in the industry has now adopted. Either way, consumers vote with their wallet every time.
So MK8 & Smash 4 having DLC also bothered you?

Kinda miffed this isn't included with the Master Edition. :/ This also doesn't seem like something I need to pick up immediately. No to mention my Master Edition will be on a shelf til probably this summer.
Anyone one want to buy a master sword replica
I trust Nintendo to get this right and add significant content for the money, I'm sure they wouldn't want to poison the well on their most hyped release of all time with exploitative dlc. I have a feeling that the new map feature mentioned in the summer release is some kind of treasure map capability and a well done hardcore mode, perhaps spiced up with something like death runs or limited respawns would change up the game a lot. Either way I have faith that Nintendo will provide good stuff here, even though it means I probably won't pick it up until the second pack is released.
The expansion part gives me hope. Will wait and see.
Video games have changed. Instead of jumping from one game to the next publishers want people to buy a game and paly it forever. In the case of Nintendo's biggest game ever it makes sense to offer incentives to continue playing, but this is paid DLC so it's a bit different of course.
FWIW I'm confident in saying people don't need to worry. BoTW will be full of content, will have a complete story and will be worth the price. The additional stuff sounds interesting. The bonus on launch are super lame, of course.
I trust Nintendo enough with this. And it's Zelda. They don't want to anger their fans with Zelda so this should be worth it, if you want to play more Zelda that is.

More content for my most anticipated game ever? I'm not usually a DLC person (Witcher 3 and Destiny being the exceptions), but I'm psyched! Hard mode should be in from the start, but the new dungeon and new story (what if we go back in time? Maybe even play as Zelda?)... Can't wait!

Someone should probably confirm that this DLC is for both the Switch and the Wii U.
I have a sneaky suspicion that it is only for one...

So cool to finally see Nintendo turn into a western company, announcing an expansion before the game is even out.
Read the PR again.
I'm not sure it's too early. It's a good thing IMO for them to set out a roadmap pre-release.
It fell with New Super Mario Bros. U lol
I mean, we shouldn't have any problem with DLCs if they're properly made. I was pretty happy about buying TW3, NSLU or MK8 DLCs, but for example i never bought any Smash character or Pikmin maps because i wasn't interested in those. Hopefully this will be good.

I prefer Zelda games to be self contained, but what are you going to do, every other game gets away with it. Just hope they're not holding this dungeon now to release later as dlc. 4 main dungeons which is the rumor sounds light on that front.

Compared to paying for online, I am fine with paying for DLC...
I did after editing my message. I remembered right after posting the first message.
And the thing with DLC is that it will never be a closed topic. You can't say "it's good" or "it's bad". I personaly want everything in a game directly, if it's not in the game, it has nothing to do in it later. But that's only because I don't associate DLC with some types of games. I wouldn't by 5 extra pages to a book so I know more about the story (for example).
I prefer a full new other game. But I kinda understand why people are happy.
It's just that it doesn't make me feel the same. On the contrary it's making me disappointed.
If there were this type of DLC announced for Xenoblade 2, it would be even worse I guess. (Japanese DLC for X were already hard to swallow)
They already had FDS, N64 DD, GBC, DSi, and New 3DS.
Nintendo was ahead of the curve.

But unless you're fresh off the gamefaqs boat, you already know that Nintendo wouldn't get third party support even if they put out an identical corebox ps4. And you'd also know that the Switch is easily one of the highest end/newest mobile devices there is.
I suppose Hard Mode not being part of the initial package might be somewhat understandable since it's probably not at all easy to rebalance the game considering how fucking huge and involved it is. I think back to the interview not long ago where they talked about how changing ever so slight variables within the engine to accommodate for unique puzzles would completely change other deliberate elements elsewhere in the game.
Hopefully this means it's not just a simple "mirrored" world with extra damage kind of mode.

Fuck, they got me
...and a corresponding new quest/story.
This further confirms to me that there wont be a new mainline Zelda for a long-ass time and that the team will be tackling a new IP next, while a small subset will work on the DLC.
Guess you already played and finished the dungeon ?
