If you want more of the game, you can get it without waiting 4 years for a sequel. This is what Nintendo's approach to Season passes has been. The main game is complete in full. I don't get the over reaction to Season Passes and DLC. Sony fans can welcome Frozen Wilds, and PC/PS/XB fans can accept Blood and Wine with open arms, why of all people are Nintendo fans getting pissed over a 1 year update for 30 bucks?

I would say the problem is announcing it before the game is even out. You just know the content is beeing cut out to be sold as DLC. Not all of it, but if it's releasing in january, its stuff cut out.

Looks fine by me. Doesn't seem to take away from the main game, only add.

Fake outrage. If you don't like the DLC, then don't buy it. That's just what it is, DLC.

I noticed since Kimishima took the helm Nintendo has started picking up some really nasty practises.

Imagine Nintendo publishing Spiderman. So much ''30$ season pass worthy'' of dlc costumes or maybe they would be amiboos.

Before I get downvoted. Everyone must admit that their ''expansion'' offerings were terrible so far.

what the. you clearly don't know how much content goes into the xenoblade games. Even though I'm a fan of the series I doubt I'll even get the dlc just because I'm pretty sure I'll get a bunch of play time out of what has already been made. I can bet with 100% certainty that xenoblade 2 will have way more content than spiderman.

Both games will have much content. But only 1 company capitalizes on cheap dlc.

To be fair, by the time the season pass finishes coming out you probably won't even have gotten 10% through the game, knowing Xenoblade! Lol

I'm not too bothered myself so long as the game itself is feature rich and feels complete. The reason I personally am annoyed at most instances of this is the fact the games themselves are feature incomplete, often with blatant holes or a lack of content that the DLC is designed to slot into.

As it stands, that has yet to be the case with any major Nintendo release. So I and others are more forgiving because there's still a sense of trust. The question is now what will the quality of the total package be when all is said and done. Cause this is a single package released over time, the bits and bobs aren't preorder bonuses. Which is another thing other companies do all the time, making these kinds of things preorder bonuses and not actually part of the package.

That December and Spring '18 offerings are weak as hell. The rest honestly sounds alright but the battle mode and quest could easily be free DLC. Hell, even AC: Origins is given the players a horde/battle mode and anubis god fight thing for free in the future

Why would anyone trip over this season pass? You are going to get a new story mode, a battle mode, and a quest. That alone should be worth the money. And if you think it is not worth the money, there is still 100 hours of game to play off top. The proposition for this title is not bad at all.

What is their reaction supposed to be? Should they not buy this game even if already gives you hundred of hours for your money just because there is a season pass that adds new stuff?
