• Zelda: Breath of the Wild DLC???!!!  New expansion pass announced
    • We never thought we would see this day come (or did we?)
    • Why is Nintendo going this route?  Are they trying to get an extra piece of the pie, or is it something else?
    • What makes it okay for NINTENDOto do this with Zelda?
    • DLC includes:
      • Pack 1 – Summer 2017
        • A new cave of Trials Challenge
        • Hard Mode (One can hope it is a Master Quest version!)
        • “A new feature for the in-game map”
      • Pack 2 – Holiday 2017
        • A new dungeon
        • A new “original story”
        • Additional challenges
      • Purchasing expansion pass immediately grants three extra treasure chests, one includes a Nintend Switch logo T-Shirt
      • You cannot purchase these two packs seperately
        • Expansion Pass available at launch for $19.99
        • Is it worth purchasing a DLC pass, knowing that most if not all of the content isn’t available for the next 4-10 months?
      • This isn’t the first time Nintendo has released DLC for one of their big games (Smash Bros, Mario Kart 8)
      • With as big and immersive as this Zelda game promises to be, does Nintendo really need to bring DLC to the table?
