I've spent around $55 after taxes on DLC for these games since I didn't pay for Mewtwo. I was trying to remain blissfully unaware by just not checking the math, but the bundles made it easy. Including the 3DS version, Wii U bundle, DLC for both, the extra GameCube adapter, extra GameCube controller, and Amiibo, I've spent around $300 on Super Smash Bros. I'm buying six more Amiibo if Nintendo reissues Wii Fit Trainer. Fantastic. I'm still an advocate of an NX port I know I don't need but would still buy.

Anyway, using Corrin's counter is like playing the game on god mode. I like Bayonetta, but she's difficult to use. I have a feeling she'll end up being like Palutena wherein I enjoy using her, but I lack the skills to effectively use her so I pick her on occasion for shits and giggles then go back to Lucina.

Wow, talk about a bad value proposition. It costs almost as much as the Wii U game to get a whole lot less content, or more than the 3DS version. Crazy.

I mean, if you allocate the price of the DLC bundles to each version of the game, you're not spending as much.  But you're already buying two of everything, so there's not really a "savings".
