Nintendo embraces the idea of a ‘season pass’ for Mario Golf: World Tour

Nintendo is slowly opening up to the exciting world of alternative revenue streams. While that might sound like the title of a panel at every business convention ever, it really just means that you will get the opportunity to pay for more stuff in a 3DS game soon.

The Japanese publisher revealed today that it will sell new 18-hole courses for the upcoming 3DS links game Mario Golf: World Tour for $6 each. For the first time, however, Nintendo is also offering a $15 “season pass” that will guarantee players access to all three planned DLC expansions for a $3 discount. The 3DS arcade-style golfer is due out May 2 for $40.
