I don't think the culture is post launch updates exists much within Nintendo internally. Namco Bandai with Smash and DNA with the mobile games is one thing, but EPD is another.
They never promised anything for Super Mario Party and those games never had post-launch support.Nintendo's weird when it comes to post-launch support sometimes. See also; Super Mario Party.
My headcanon is that they're saving content to come alongside the potential extra game style with a big ol' update either before Christmas (looking unlikely!) or January when they presumably have their start of year direct.
It does seem like they are indeed doing a sizable update scheme, different from ARMS and Splatoon 2 for Switch (although the latter got a full expansion, but that was paid and a year after release). One might expect another such a major update in H1 2020 I think.I guess it's safe to say they just want to put out more substantial updates than we got for SMM1.

I dunno, this doesn't strike me as anything bigger than what we got for SMM1.
The first update came with a new mode as well (Event Courses - which are actually a pretty similar concept as the Ninji Speedruns anyway), a new difficulty for Gnat Attack, the Checkpoint Flag, and the context sensitive powerups; alongside various new easter eggs (like the different Weird Mario poses when knocking on doors with the touch screen).
A later update also brought in Keys & Locked Doors, probably the single biggest addition ever made to the series so far; that was not a minor thing!
I get the feeling that this update was originally due to come out much sooner, but they had to delay it in order to accomodate the development of the Online With Friends option (which probably wasn't planned at all, until they heard the outcry from fans online).
Can OP please make a thread about Arms not getting any updates anymore?
We already knew more content was coming.Can OP please make a thread about Arms not getting any updates anymore?
We already knew more content was coming.
What's funny is that the responses in first page don't mention the fact that Nintendo confirmed more content was coming, people will just ignore whatever is announced and just assume on their own.
people ignoring facts that go against their narrative? i can't believe someone on internet would do thatWe already knew more content was coming.
