Donkey Kong Bananza: DK Island & Emerald Rush DLC announced, available today for $19.99

In one hand I fucking LOOOOOVED DK Bananza so I want to play this but in other hand why roguelike element?

Why devs so fucking obsessed to put roguelike element in every fucking game?

Same, I've not even gotten half way for all the powers apparently. like 3 or 4 more to get so I don't see reason for the DLC so soon, Mario Kart World on the other hand needs a re-fresher. Like even just adding DK stuff into the game or something seems like lost potential.
 
This is either cut content or content they started working on after the game got pushed over to the Switch 2, and while I'll bitch about it being $20, I'll still probably get it at some point as I've 100% the game but want to run around a DK island, plus I like rouge like modes.

Now we know why they didn't launch this game as 80+$ in order to try and save themself bad PR during the launch window.

1000%

tbh I'd have preferred if the game was $79 and this came out as a completely free update.

Man, 20$ DLC for a 80$ game released not even 2 months ago.

But just you wait, the usual gang of 3 is going to show up calling us "haters®".

$63 at Costco. The current place to go for day 1 1st party Nintendo games. AT least has been for a few years now. Every since ...TotK I want to say.
 
Selling this DLC for $20 just a few months after the game's release is egregiously disappointing. I'm even one of the people who didn't mind the overall price increases for games, but this genuinely is just straight greed. It's completely antithetical to the Nintendo we knew under Reggie and Iwata.

It's fucking wild that a guy literally named Bowser is actively ruining Nintendo.
 
I asked for this and I'm glad to have DK Island explorable again but I really didn't expect it this soon.

The base game itself does have a ton of content, I got 100% at 75 hours before I put it down. Well worth my dollar.
However it will be hard for anyone not to feel like this was purposely held out of the base game for some extra cash.
If this was 4-6 months after the initial release I bet people wouldn't bat an eye.

Try again.
It was 80 here in Euroland and only these past few days it has dropped in price (by a whole 4€ on Amazon).

The world = not only the US of A my man.

PS : Next up, you're gonna call someone a hater® if they "dare" to mention that the Pro Controller 2 had an initial price of 90 Eurodollars.

Again, the only "haters" in these kind of topics are the hardcore Nintendo loyals which can't take neither facts, nor critiscism that well.

A generation to make a decent game, weeks to make a dlc.

Nintendo cares about their fanbase.

Rogue like game...Nintendo use to have new ideas.

This is exactly how I feel. I'm closing in on 50 hours in DBZ, and not even close to 100%, so it's hard to see this as a rip-off, but, man, it's impossible to deny the fact that this could have been in the base game. It kind of sours what would otherwise have been a perfect addition to the post game. DK Isle is really the only thing that the base game was missing.

I guess I will wait for reviews.
 
My biggest issue is not the price but unnecessary roguelike element ….these days devs just fucking obsess with roguelike.
 
Did anyone bite on this yet? I'm curious what people think of it.

I really don't like the idea of spending $20 on top of a $70 game, though.

I dont mind paying for good DLC or expansion like Future Redeemed for Xenoblade 3.....but my biggest issue here is the roguelike element which I'm not fan of.

I purchased it. Explored a bit of DK island. A lot of fan service so far.

As I was playing Emerald Rush on DK island I didn't quite understand what was happening every time I gained a fossil. I think I'm understanding what Roguelike means now.

I'll have full impressions once I understand what the eF I'm doing.
 
This soon?
Go fucking

Fuck
Fuck
Fuck
Yourselves

Glad i paid fuck all for this game. Because this feels like cut content.

The only thing i liked about old switch dlc was it took ages.

No fucking way this was made after the game released pigs 🤣🤣

I have to be honest. This is beyond scummy. They pretty much cut content on purpose just to release it not even 2 months after the release for another 20$ for the already expensive 80$ game .

If that isn't scam and super scummy then I don't know what is. And people actually buying this and supporting this behavior are the problem of this industry. Because you are allowing these company to treat you like a cow and keep on milking you. You would deserve that title too .
