I didn't expect the new Pokémon DLC to remind me of Stranger Things, but here we are

Pokemon Legends Z-A Mega Dimension DLC.

I remember when Nintendo was the weirdest gaming company out there about DLC. For a long time after the point when we were all used to downloading add-ons and expansions for massive games on Xbox and PlayStation, Nintendo was reluctant to offer the same.

Perhaps it saw the idea as undermining the fundamental attraction of its first-party games as complete products, or perhaps its pipelines were just not set up to quickly pivot to producing extra content after a game released. Either way, though, those days are long-gone, as demonstrated by how quickly Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension DLC has arrived.
