Super Smash Brothers - Sakurai Interview on DLC and Other SSB questions

On any plans for additional characters or stages as DLC I understand that DLC could add a lot to the appeal of Smash Bros., and I appreciate that a major part of the excitement for these games come from which characters will appear in the roster, so I think fans could really enjoy DLC that could keep this excitement going. However, I think there might be criticism that we are cutting up content to sell characters one by one, or that we are adding things later that should have been there from the start. Creating a single fighter involves a huge investment, and we've already been giving it our all and investing a lot of work in the characters currently available in the game and, I think it's an incredible package in terms of the sheer amount of content in the game. But it might be that people may not understand and may think that I am not offering enough by just looking at DLC itself In light of this, we always need to weigh up both sides of this topic and carefully consider whether it really is best to have DLC or not. However, what I can say now about paid DLC is that we aren't working on anything at the moment. Weve put all our efforts into making the actual game. Creating DLC would involve large additional costs and require the involvement of a lot of people. I can't yet give you an answer about whether the price would justify the costs and criticisms mentioned above On the possibility of adding Reggie, Iwata, Miyamoto, or Sakurai in Smash Bros. as dedicated characters... I don't think the inclusion of these characters would be very interesting to a wide audience. For the amount of effort involved, I would actually prefer to add another roster character. As it takes a lot of work to add a character to the game, it's not a decision that can be taken lightly On why amiibo is limited to Smash mode... We are not intending to release a patch that allows amiibo to be used in other modes. amibo are CPU characters however they aren't programmed to be able to fight against bosses or make their way across a level like in a platform game. Although great efforts would be required to redesign the programming logic for amiibo from scratch the outcome we gained would be smal On how long the games wll be supported with character balances.. Thanks for your interest, however this hasn't been decided

The vibe I'm getting from Masahiro Sakurai from this post is one that states "yes, paid DLC will probably be a thing for the game, but first we need to finish working on the free DLC character/level/mode we have planned before we think about additional content, and I can't contractually tell you at all if we have anything in mind".

So a "Maybe" as far as DLC is confirmed.
