Blastfrog Posted June 21, 2015 @FireFish I'm not complaining that Nintendo are making plastic collectables, I'm complaining that people are lapping them up without being the slightest bit skeptical or wary of the extreme scarcity. It's their choice to waste their money and encourage products like this, but I still don't like it. I don't even think it's big deal, I just like to complain. :P As for DLC, I'm perfectly fine with expansion content worth their asking price. It's the low-ROI nickel-and-diming/was-obviously-cut-from-the-base-game crap that I and others dislike. 0 Share this post Link to post

If that's true, then I revoke what I said. I just wish they had more functionality in game - People wanted to play as their Amiibos, that seemed to be what most complaints were about initially.

I was puzzled by that complaint - since it's possible to customise the characters and play as them anyway, having a custom character tied to an amiibo wouldn't really add anything, and would come at the expense of the more interesting training mechanic. Still, I think Nintendo have struggled to find meaningful ways to have them interact with the games - it's a tricky balance between finding a way to have them add an extra dimension to the game, but without leaving people who don't have them feeling like they don't have a complete package. I think they did this quite nicely with MK8 and Smash (especially the latter), but it's been a bit patchy elsewhere, though more because they've failed to add anything interesting, rather than because they unlock too much and constitute bad DLC. 0 Share this post Link to post

Maes Posted June 22, 2015 Heh, I must get on with the times. I misread this as "Amibios sucks". 0 Share this post Link to post
