Nintendo wanted to “change what DLC is” with New Super Luigi U

New Super Luigi U is a big deal. It’s so big that Nintendo is preparing a unique disc-based release for the game.

This is exactly what the company had in mind when preparing New Super Luigi U. According to Takashi Tezuka, Nintendo wanted to “change what DLC is.”

“Most people think of downloadable content as just an add-on to a game — in Japanese you say ‘add-on content.’ But New Super Luigi U is such a large-scale thing — it’s like a completely different game. It was our idea to change what DLC is.”
