    Wii DLC examined, turns out to be pretty cool.

    http://blog.wired.com/games/2008/04/...-i-bought.html

    This is just Crystal Chronicles, but it's a nice look at what can be done if the developers feel like it. the DLC store is built into the game itself, fully integrated into your shop channel account. No having to make a trip to the shop channel.

    More games on other systems really need to do this. I know Rock Band recently added an in-game store, but that took quite a while.

    Yeah this would make things a lot more fun IMO. Glad I got a Wii now.

    It's something that it took Rock Band months to square away with Xbox Live
    Tasteless pun?

    Here I come Pav, like the Kool-Aid man barging into a funeral! Oh yeah!

      And this is with a WiiWare game that takes up 200 blocks. No excuse for full retail games not to do likewise. It is a shame they're pulling the "charge extra to unlock stuff that's already in the game" scam but that's seems to be how everybody wants to use microtransactions.

        You make it sound like such a bad thing, Chuck. Personally, I'm excited for what the future may hold with the introduction of our own DLC.

          Hmmm, seems like the Wii channels have a good furutre for DLC.

            I hate the acronym DLC.

              That's because it is.

              This is where companies may get a decent return for high production standards.

                Especially with PC games y'know user-created/official extra content that's free.

No way am I going to basically pay what the game cost in the first place, all over again, for some tiny bits of trivial extra content. A $13 expansion pack to a $15 game should double the content, at minimum.

                  That Crystal Chronicles game actually looks pretty cool.

                    FFCC:MLaaK just got some more DLC in Japan.

                    An 11 dungeon pack for 300 points. And they announced some upcoming new dungeons, buildings, and a bikini costume for Chime.

                          Whenever WiiWare is. Early in May I believe.
