And Sakurai was hesistant about paid DLC...

The "you could get it free for some time" approach is, imo, good - and perhaps they would consider if for additional character packs - though the development cost involved with that would be sensible to charge from the offset.

Free with Mewtwo amiibo will likely be an option

Or Nintendo UK cocking up again? "Here's your multi use GameCube controller.....NOT!"

DLC characters due spring methinks. It makes zero business sense to have a development team working on mewtwo and mewtwo alone. Whatever Sakurai claims

I'm ok with that, so long as they're not clones. You want people to pay for development time. Not pressing ctrl C, ctrl V

Glad to see him back, I was so disappointed when that unoriginal Lucario took his place. I hope they have his armor from the Pokemon Movie as an alt costume!

It is not wise to speak on subjects you do not know all facts about, nor is it smart to judge a game based on looks alone. PSN: Nintendo_Gamer 3DS: 4296-3029-7422

I'm thinking it makes pure sense for a Splatoon character and maybe even captain toad to be put in with amiibo support! But who knows!
