Today’s agenda: Is DLC Ruining Mario Sports?
It’s not news to anyone that Mario boasts an impressive resume: plumbing, princess-rescuing, a doctorate, go-kart racing, the mustachioed marvel has even had his hand in a number of professional sports.
Mario sports games (tennis, golf, etc.) have become an expected staple of nearly every new Nintendo console, just like with Mario Kart and Mario Party. However, the Mario sports titles have become subject to scrutiny in recent years, with common complaints including being “too repetitive” or not having a substantial enough single player mode. And with a rumored new baseball game in development, and several gamers dubious over its potential, many are quick to assume that DLC is to blame for the recent drop in quality.
But is DLC really the problem? Listen in as we discuss and compare every installment of Mario Tennis, Golf, and Strikers to see just how much content Nintendo’s really putting up to bat.
