That’s why we chose to accept such a huge staff, so that we would have enough manpower to write articles. Once everyone is back on track however, we expect to do a major expansion of the site with pages and trying to get prof. to succeed.

Oh, no, Nintendo has said repeatedly they won’t charge for DLC that is already on the cart or deliberately cut out of the main game. All DLC is developed after the game has been finished. That said, third party publisher are still free to choose their own way (as indicated by the Final Fantasy rythm game).
And I don’t think they are going to charge for everything. Hidden Pokémon like Keldeo may just be distributed with free dlc.
This doesn’t mean every DLC from Nintendo is going to be a great value for the money, as it still costs a dollar or two for a new mission and character in Fire Emblem, but they aren’t screwing you over like other companies tend to do.

I really hope there’s a R/S sequel or remake on the DS because I’m not going to pay for microcontent on a game I already paid $35 for (and a ‘ha ha’ for $40 handheld games), so no 3DS for me.

I’ll be looking forward to see what creative content (or lack thereof *cough*kamiTrioFormes*cough*) any new pokemon games come out with, but it’s probably going to signal the end of my video game past-time.

I’d rather save my nickels and dimes and travel cross-country than play a bunch of video games.
