My takeaway from this is "This game is worth buying in August."

Or, taken another way, "We don't have anything else approaching a summer game for Wii U, so we're releasing this one in a sorta-finished state and patching in the rest later."

A lot of major Wii U and 3DS games have been releasing with only "most" of the content there, and receiving the rest in the following months. Hyrule Warriors, Smash 4, Mario Kart 8, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, and Codename S.T.E.A.M. have all been receiving DLC. I think it's a good thing, since it gives you a reason to keep caring about the games after release. I do think playing with friends should be included at release, though. Kinda silly that they left that out... But after playing the test flight, I think it's still well worth the money to pick it up at launch.
