Nintendo has announced that the DLC for Animal Crossing: New Leaf will be completely free.  Nintendo has taken a pretty different stance on DLC from other game companies.  While most companies nickel and dime gamers for additional DLC, Nintendo has given away DLC for their games for free.  The only game that I know of, at the moment, that Nintendo has charged gamers for the DLC is New Super Mario Bros 2.  Nintendo could charge for their DLC and most likely make another mountain of cash over in this corner of the room but they have taken the high road as always and give the DLC away for nothing.  I really don’t necessarily like the idea of DLC in general and I don’t like paying for the additional content even more.  On top of that don’t even think about requiring me to pre-order the game to get the DLC because then I am likely not to pre-order the game just to spite you.  But I really have to give props to Nintendo for bucking the trend and just letting the gamers get the content they want without picking your pocket in the meantime.  There are a lot of different opinions about DLC, paid or not, and we would not only like to hear your comments about DLC but also the way Nintendo is handling DLC.  Are you happy with the way Nintendo has been handling DLC?  Do you think more gaming companies should follow Nintendo’s lead when it comes to releasing DLC?  Let us know in the comments section below!  Don’t forget to also check out the trailer for Animal Crossing: New Leaf for the Nintendo 3DS below!
