"I understand that DLC could add a lot to the appeal of Smash Bros., and I appreciate that a major part of the excitement for these games come from which characters will appear in the roster, so I think fans could really enjoy DLC that could keep this excitement going," he told Videogamer. creator Masahiro Sakurai has described the upcoming MewTwo DLC character as an "experiment", not the start of a trend.

Wii U will have one DLC character, but Nintendo isn't planning on any more at this stage.
