killamch89 Posted Sunday at 12:12 AM Share Posted Sunday at 12:12 AM Side modes like Splatoon’s Salmon Run, Mario’s challenge towers, or Animal Crossing’s seasonal events keep Nintendo titles alive long after the main story. Which modes have extended your playtime? Do weekly challenges or co-op experiences foster community longevity? How do post-launch updates and DLC tie into retention?

killamch89 Posted Sunday at 11:14 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 11:14 PM Nintendo's side modes often function as games-within-games, essentially doubling the content value. Mario Kart 8's Battle Mode and Smash Bros' Event Matches give players completely different experiences using the same engine and assets. This approach extends play time without requiring separate development cycles, meaning players stay engaged long after completing the main content.
