Nintendo has announced a number of new DLC options for Super Smash Bros. on Wii U and 3DS. Included are a host of new Mii Fighter costumes and stages (as well as the previously reported characters). There are a number of pricing options, so we're making sense of them for you.
First up, the Mii Fighter costumes. Nintendo announced crossovers with Tekken, Mega Man Battle Network, Mega Man Zero, Animal Crossing, Virtua Fighter, and Splatoon. Here's the full list from front to back on the image above:
Inkling Girl (Splatoon)
Jackie (Virtual Fighter)
MegaMan.EXE (Mega Man Battle Network)
Isabelle (Animal Crossing)
Zero (Mega Man Zero)
Inkling Boy (Splatoon)
Squid Had (Splatoon)
Akira (Virtua Fighter)
Heihachi (Tekken)
Individual Price: $.75 per platform or $1.15 for both platforms
Bundle Price: $6 per platform or $9.20 for both platforms
Nintendo also announced a Dreamland stage releasing today. This is $1.99 per platform or $2.99 for both Wii U and 3DS in a bundle.
Roy and Lucas are $3.99 per platform or $4.99 for both Wii U and 3DS in a bundle. Ryu includes the Suzaku Castle stage for $5.99 per platform or $6.99 for both in a bundle.
For those looking to get everything at once, there are single and dual-platform bundles available. A Wii U or 3DS bundle of the DLC will cost you $21.96 (which isn't a savings beyond the Mii Fighter bundle pricing). Purchasing for both platforms will cost you $29.16, a savings of $2.

[Slayer's Take: It's nice to see Nintendo offering all of this post launch support and content for the Super Smash Bros. series but I can't help but shake the feeling that they're nickle and diming it. Then again, it is DLC, you don't HAVE to buy it. (Ok, maybe I have to buy Ryu.)]
