<p>Whilst both Microsoft and Sony have both been releasing DLC for a long time now, Nintendo has mainly taken a step back from the idea of expanding a game through digitally release content, with the exception of one or two Pokemon release as rewards for connecting your device to Wi-Fi and selecting mystery gift and the occasional Animal Crossing item delivered right to your mailbox on a monthly basis.</p>
<p>However, Nintendo have recently stepped up their game when it comes to digitally released content with additional maps in Fire Emblem: Awakening and now an entirely new add-on for the Wii U launch game; New Super Mario Bros U.</p>
<p>The game has been out for a week now and we thought it would be a great idea to share with you a few select quotes from other news outlets as to how well Nintendo&#8217;s first &#8216;big step&#8217; into DLC has gone. On average, after receiving reviews from 23 different critics, the game is currently at 76 out of 100, 8 points behind the original as reviewed by 70 different critics which scored 84 out of 100.</p>
<p>A look on the positive side of scores says:</p>
<p><strong>GamingTrend: </strong><em>&#8220;If you&#8217;ve felt like some of the old-school magic has been missing from Super Mario games lately, let Luigi guide you through some of the most satisfying platform gaming ever designed&#8221;.</em></p>
<p><strong>GameSpot: </strong><em>&#8220;Luigi is absolutely the guy. This game is cheap and a must buy for Wii U owners&#8221;.</em></p>
<p>And some of the less positive side of scores said:</p>
<p><strong>Edge Magazine: </strong><em>&#8220;Some will undoubtedly find its challenge inviting, but others will rightly expect more ingenuity from Nintendo than this.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><strong>Eurogamer: </strong><em>&#8220;&#8230; by the series&#8217; consistently high standards, it qualifies as a disappointment&#8221;.</em></p>
