Yeah, the Ganon costume pack is available as a free Club Nintendo reward if you register your copy of Hyrule Warriors before October 23rd. And to be completely honest, I can't see any reason why the costume packs wouldn't be available for purchase. Seeing as how they did a Nintendo Direct just to show off this game a bit more and covering all those costume packs was part of it, it would make no sense to make them exclusive pre-order bonus only. And they never said that was case either. Just that each retailer would have a specific costume pack as a pre-order bonus. I wouldn't be surprised if their all available for public purchase from the e-shop right from release day. I know Nintendo's been disappointing some of us as of late, but come on now! Nintendo making each costume set an exclusive pre-order bonus just to get you to buy 3 copies? That's a little ridiculous. And when has anyone done that with costume DLC? Not to mention all the money they would miss out on if they actually did. Probably not something Nintendo is willing to do... Seems like NOA is starting to jump on the Pre-Order DLC just like everyone else has been doing for years. |

I was always worried with Hyrule Warriors and DLC. As much as I love Koei-Tecmo games, they have gone bonkers with DLC and re-releases. They can't even do a proper "Complete Edition" without DLC. For the most part it is only costume packs, but it is ridiculous considering past Dynasty Warriors games had characters with 6 costumes while new Dynasty Warriors typically only have 2 costumes with some having 4 due to simple variations like no mask or hair change. I will wait and see if Nintendo will reign in KT in with Hyrule Warriors but early signs say no with this preorder costume crap. I will still get the game but will not support the DLC. Hopefully they do something awesome and make the DLC free later on like Konami did with Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. |

Best case scenario is that these costumes are just a timed exclusive, and will later be available to download for free. I mean, they are COSTUME packs, after all -- I don't think they affect gameplay in any real way. If they aren't free, they really ought to be dirt cheap. And if this is something Nintendo wants to make money on, I couldn't see them NOT offering all costume packs available for purchase at a later time. Seeing as I placed my order with Best Buy during the big E3 discount, it looks like I'm getting Skyward Sword costumes (in addition to the Ganondorf costumes being offered by Club Nintendo). |
