Would You Buy Cosmetic DLC?

I think it'd depend. I know when they were announcing that there would be costumes that were "new characters" such as Alph, the Koopalings, etc. I was excited. If there were options like that, or more costumes that weren't just color swaps, I would probably pay for it.

Probably not, unless they came with substantial content.

Let me rephrase, would you buy cosmetic DLC that changed a character's costume, as in their outfit?

Only if they came with voiceovers and had a real cosmetic change, not just colors. Seasonal stuff would be a great seller, like Santa Ganon or Easter Bunny Yoshi.

Lying about my country.
Only if it's part of a pack that comes with actual new content, like characters or stages.

By itself, it's just not worth my money, even if the costumes are actually good.

Depends on the alt costumes in question. I'd probably get something that contained a Shulk alt that looks better than the Dunban color

One big flaw is definitely the absence of any "Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze"-music... I would buy such a pack in a heartbeat.

I would LOVE a DLC pack that adds 1 alt skin for each character. Maybe for Bowser Jr. they could add Boom Boom.

Music? Definitely.
Costumes? I guess it would depend on who and what the costume is, just as long as they aren't priced at some ridiculous amount.

I would only buy music if it were new to Smash 4, not just reloaded Brawl or Melee songs. Even then, I could easily just open up YouTube and find the song I desire.

So, I'm pretty opposed to most DLC as a practice, but I'm a sucker for Smash. I'd probably buy anything priced reasonably.

This is what I can think of off the top of my head:
:4wario2: All of his alts from Brawl back. Seriously, Little Mac.
:4link: OoT Link with alt colours.
:4zelda: OoT Zelda with alt colours.
:4ganondorf: OoT Ganondorf with alts.
:4zss: More of each costume and a proper "Justin Bailey" one piece, green hair and all.
:4marth: Dye his hair red. :troll:
:4robinf: Give each gender a full set of eight colours.
:4pikachu: Heart tail (female) Pikachu with the cosplay outfits from OR/AS as alts.
:4villagerf: Alts that aren't terrible.
:4olimar: All of Olimar's lost Brawl colours. Louie costume with alts and Brittany with alts.
:4pacman: Ms. Pac-Man.

I'd buy these all in a pack together.

Actually, I've been talking to my friends about this recently... I'd LOVE some DLC costumes! I'd love to see Paper Mario, Dr. Luigi(For Dr. Mario), Mr. L, One of Shulk's dumb armors from Xenoblade, Dry Bowser... I could go on all day!

Yes. Especially if it's dirt-cheap and awesome like the Hyrule Warriors DLC released thus far.

Maybe. I guess it all depends on what the costume in and how much I end up liking it. I'm actually totally happy with the default colors for Ness and Pit, but if they manage to make something that I like more then yeah!

I guess maybe if they were packed in a huge pack with like 40 or so costumes in it. But even then, I think that should cost only $3 or so.

Alternate costumes? Yes.

Characters as alternate costumes? No.

... cue the DLC packs.
I wish Nintendo would have this much enthusiasm with SSB4. They need to cherish this game. Keep it in tune. This is a rare occurrence where I wish a game developer would milk their franchise with DLC. Keep it alive!
