With an amiibo exclusive dungeon now confirmed, are you glad you preordered yours?
I would if it was a Midna only amiibo
I hope the exclusive dungeon is a "recap" dungeon like most iterations of Ganon's tower.
>>323938896
why would I want to play again the worst 3D Zelda?
>>323938896
IT'S OKAY WHEN NINTENDO DOES IT
>>323938896
Pre-ordered before I even knew about the dungeon.
I don't give a fuck since amiibos can be pirated
>>323938896
Nope cancelled my shit.
>>323939095
No Zelda will ever be worse than SS
>>323939095
>Worst 3D Zelda
>It's literally Ocarina of Time, but more of it, plays better, looks better, exactly what the fans asked for when it was announced.
But then it came out and fags were like 'this isn't what we wanted we wanted more wind waker'.
But when Wind Waker came out, fags were like 'this isn't what we wanted, we wanted more Ocarina of Time'
>>323938896
>amiibo exclusive dungeon
>>323939362
It's good, don't be a fag.
I didn't and right now I'm hoping the extra "dungeon" is a Cave of Ordeals-type challenge run or something similarly inconsequential. We'll see.
That said, aside fromt the amiibo thing, why are the port's graphics the primary thing people care about? Wind Waker HD was made worthwhile by the slew of improvements in every area BUT graphics.
Just offhand, WWHD has the following:
>rearranged soundtrack with better midi libraries
>Hero Mode which actually makes the early game slightly tense
>vastly improved interface, dedicated buttons for Wind Waker, sail, cannon and crane, thus much less fucking around in menus
>shortened animations
>streamlined Triforce quest
>first-person movement
>more versatile controls when swinging on ropes
And a whole lot of other shit documented on the Zelda wiki.
TPHD is looking to be going in the same direction, with fewer Tears of Light required and the rupee cap being at least doubled. The reason to like WWHD and to buy TPHD istn't the fucking graphics, it's the fact that they're the 2.0 versions of the games.
>>323938896
No, because I'm not interested in that amiibo at all and I told myself I wouldn't buy another remake of a zelda game as long as Nintendo doesn't come out with a new zelda game.
>>323939530
Apparently called the Twilight Cavern
How about they actually add WWHD's shading system so it looks better than a mid-2000s MMO.
>>323939575
TPHD does look like a serious upgrade visually though. The textures were always the game's greatest sin.
>>323938896
I wasn't really planning to buy this at all.
but considering that they are at least adding a new dungeon, i guess i will have to bite.
>>323939575
Just being able to select different items while playing and without accessing menus made it worthwhile for me.
>>323940086
but it looks like only the textures are getting updated, while the game would need a whole new lighting system.
eh I'll just go to best buy when they open and get one there.
>>323939575
>Double rupee cap
Hopefully that piece of shit armor is useful now
>>323940086
TPHD is the biggest bullshot game

>paying 60 bucks for a HD retexture
>there's also a amiibo-exclusive dungeon
Just when you thought Nintendrones couldn't get more sad
>>323940086
This. The comparison videos sold it for me, the jump in visual quality is larger than WWHD in my opinion, it really is night and day when comparing the original and HD now.
I'd rather get that fake amiibo that can imitate any other given amiibo and cancel my preorder.
That is fucking disgusting and I'm appalled by seeing Nintendo do garbage like that.
>>323940421
Only for the end of the cave of ordeals.
>>323940979
>The jump in visual quality is larger than WWHD
>>323940890
>Battlefront met EA sales expectations despite it being not even half a game with only 4 levels
>Battlefront is not available on Wii-U
At this point Nintendo is the lesser of two evils. At least they're buying full games.
>>323938896
Did Nintendo finally do a press release for it? Or are we still confirming from Amazon France?
>>323941108
>PKeks will defend the upper picture
Question, is the OST gonna be included for Murrika or is it Europe only?
>>323941108
Did GC really looked that bad? well, shit.
>>323941187
Amazon, but I vaguely remember them leaking this type of shit for WWHD which turned out to be accurate
>>323941108
Well TP is actually an improvement as small as it may be, so he's right.
>>323941108
What I said is true anon. Look up the videos. WW was always a good looking game so they didn't have to re-build much, however TP has always had texture issues so they've been completely re-built.
Don't get me wrong I own WWHD and think it's visually stunning, but the texture changes in TPHD have the larger impact.
>>323941313
They also got SSB Wii U right as well with the board game mode
>>323941108
Objection! The picture above is not an accurate reflection of what WW originally looks like, because this screenshot was taken from an upscaled version on PC.
If you really want to compare, show the real evidence! A screenshot straight from the gamecube!

Finally going to cum all over Midna.
>>323941737
Only retail copies come with the amiibo you dullard
>>323941639
Well the complaint was about Nintendrones buying a HD retexture for full price, meanwhile everyone outside of Nintendo had already done that with Battlefront, which actually has less content than TPHD. So in the grand scheme of things, people outside of Nintendo are even bigger shit eaters than the Nintendrones are.
Oh, and the comment at the end? pointless. I'm an idort.

Im not mad, just disappointed.
>>323941578
That's not a true screenshot.
>>323941356
WW was so simplistic-looking with the flat backgrounds that it was easy to make better. TPHD has the new textures, but it's not that much better at first glance. It's also extremely stupid to not implement a lighting system that's all ready to go.
>>323939362
>BIGGERER AND MORERER IS BETTERER
Yes, it's 'more' of Ocarina of Time. But we'd been there and done that, it was also structured more clumsily than its spiritual predecessor, and was all over the place from a narrative perspective.
It was OoT with more 'stuff', but as it turns out 'more stuff' can be seen as 'fucking clutter', and is often best left out.
Blackmail.

TOP FUCKING KEK

The character models looked worse sometimes in WWHD, but the environments looked a million times better.
>>323938896
>oh no the amiibo menace engulfs me
>>323942796
Like I said, all they had to do was smooth things out. I don't like being blinded by the bloom coming off the water when I'm sailing.
>>323939362
I must have forgot about all the parts in OoT where you play as a wolf that controls like ass and wasn't fun in the slightest.
>>323942617
The shittiest Zelda game is Zelda 2. No contest.Maybe, if you count Crossbow Training as a Zelda game.
And sure, an HD remake of Zelda 2 sounds interesting.
>>323942987
>>323942587
The original just looks dull and washed out. The strong bloom is actually more authentic for sunny weather by the sea, and it makes it a lot more immersive and comfy.
>>323943037
>reading comprehension: the post
>>323943037

That games handholding was insulting to me as a fan of what the series used to be.
>>323943143
>The original looks dull and washed out
Your opinions are bad and you should feel bad
>>323942434
So wolf link is Midna's cum rag? I like that idea.
did they announce what this version's controls will be like? I'm replaying the Wii version of TP right now and it's currently my only huge complaint.
it feels exceptional for anything that requires aiming, but the sword combat and flying sections with waggle controls feel awful. I hope it's like WWHD, OoT3D, and MM3D with a dedicated attack button and motion controls being used for aiming
Midna > Zelda
>>323943285
that is not at all what the original looked like, this screenshot is from dolphin
>>323943359lol
>>323943129
>>323943267
hngh
>>323943234
SS was certainly the biggest disappointment in recent memory.
Although my trouble was less the handholding and more the world building aspect.
Even the oldest games in the series did that better than SS.
>>323943285
the colors look a lot better in WWHD than they did before. Just look at >>323941108
>>323943537
It's just a larger render. That's exactly how the original looks, aesthetically.

>>323943669
I don't believe you, but I can neither really prove you wrong, oh well
I think people overstate the problems with TP a bit.
>overly long tutorial
Yeah this is a problem but once it's over it's over, it's not like say SS where there are new tutorials every 30 minutes.
>wolf controls are ass
Yeah this one is legit, but outside of the bug hunt shit there's not really a ton of forced Wolf segments.
>empty overworld
Most 3D Zelda over worlds are actually empty as fuck. WW in particular just gives the illusion of there being more to do since it divides it's world into sections instead of things being less evenly distributed.
It's not a flawless game by any means but not nearly as shitty as some folks try to make it out to be either.
>>323943596
We're of pretty much the same mind then hombre, since that aspect was my second most loathed aspect. I would have dealt with the handholding if I were actually given a bevy of New Hyrule to explore, as the premise for the game seemed to imply, but instead we get literal retreading the game.
>>323943728
NX if I had to guess, probably alongside the next Zelda spin off. I hope they don't bother, and remake a game that deserves it likeLA. Now that's a Zelda story that deserves to be told again.
>>323943929
It's a benefit of cel shading without shit textures

>he's still propagating the Zelda 2 was different and too hard therefore it's shit nonsense
>he doesn't appreciate the challenge and action gameplay where each enemy felt like a threat because he's used to just mashing HYAH all the time
I'm actually more likely to preorder the LE now that it's confirmed there will be meaningful content tied to the amiibo. I'm still annoyed I was never able to play the Four Swords extra dungeon in GBA ALTTP due to the need to complete Four Swords, which wasn't possible for me.
Man, I sure do like Midna butts.
>>323944162
>he didn't use the glitch
>>323944071
ALTTP, LA, OOA and OOS all deserve to be remade with ALBW's engine.

Autists like you are why everyone just prints rehashes and remakes today.
>>323943037
>shittiest Zelda game is 2
holy shit can this meme die you didn't even play it
make a serious criticism of Zelda 2 that makes it the worst one.
>>323944261
I'd prefer to fuck Imp Midna more than True Form Midna, tbqh.
>>323944398
ALBW's engine just feels so fucking good
>>323944154
I'm telling the same thing to Paper Mario fanboys with regard to Super Paper Mario, but they won't listen.
It's a different type of game than expected, but still highly enjoyable.I won't defend the 3DS Paper Mario. That's garbage beyond salvation.
>>323943037
Zelda 2 is awesome though. Shits all over Zelda 1.
>>323944084
WW barely had any real textures. It was like 70% solid colors.
>>323944398
Agreed completely. Nothing gets my dick more diamonds than the notion of flipping onto a tree stump and switching through the seasons on current gen tech. It was the most satisfying world navigation gimmick of a 2D Zelda hands down.
>>323944481
Sticker Star is just awfully designed in nearly every way

>>323944461

>Streamlined Triforce quest
There's a difference between "streamlining" and "cutting content because 10 year olds can't figure out how to use treasure charts."
>>323944481
Super Paper Mario is a really good paper mario game. I just wish they went back to the original formula afterwards instead of shitting out the aberration that is Sticker Star.
>amiibo exclusive dungeon
Go fuck yourself Nintendo. You are EA tier.
14 dollar day zero DLC for an HD re-release
Nintendrones are literally defending day one, on disc content for an HD RE-RELEASE after shitting on HD and Definitive re-releases for the last 2 years (which included all DLC for their respective game as part of the package).
>>323944765
They were making a proper Paper Mario and then Miyamoto went full fucking retard. Remember the screenshots of the Chain Chomp partner?
>>323944415
Not that guy but I can name a couple:
>the lives/continue system can be pretty unforgiving at times, especially since some of the later dungeons require you to grind your way across several enemy laden death traps just to even attempt them again
>some of the "puzzle" solutions are Simon's Quest tier cryptic bullshit
>fucking Death Mountain
I wouldn't call it the worst Zelda though.
>>323944746
But you still have to use treasure charts for like 4 of them. Why are you being retarded?
>>323944773
Even EA doesn't force ads onto youtube videos that have their games being played in them.
>>323940086
Because even with that it still looks considerably aged. I don't get why they messed with the lighting engine for WW, a game still largely loved for its simplistic graphics, yet refuse to update TP's lighting engine.
Great lighting can often make even mediocre models and textures look great.
>>323944872

>>323944987
>>323945017

>>323944872
Well yeah, it's the most obtuse Zelda game in terms of progression, without a doubt, but anyone who understood the basic principles of go everywhere and do everything could certainly navigate their way to the end, provided they got gud at combat.
>>323944987
>>323945017
>less than a minute apart
The fuck? Also I never said it was too hard as I've finished the game several times, but that doesn't mean it isn't flawed design.
>>323944867
Yep, I was so hyped back then ;_; I just wish Myamoto didn't have such a boner for simple games that can be played by anyone
>>323944746
They didn't cut anything, there's still the same amount of treasure charts, they just put new treasure where Triforce pieces were before.
>>323939315
SS is pretty good, fuck off
TP is the worst.
>>323944872
>>323945156
Romhacking.net has a patch that reduces the combat difficulty to roughly Zelda 1 level. I tried that out after finding the normal game too unforgiving and had a really good time, with the challenge intact.
>>323945410
You can't say that yet, anon. Come back after Zelda U is released and people shift focus to shitting on it so that SS gets less hate and more support.
>>323945410
TP is a Zelda game.
SS is a motion control tech demo that sacrifices all game design to maximize gimmick use.
>>323943037
Fuck you. Zelda II is great. You should really kill yourself. Zelda 1 is the worst Zelda.
Will they censor Great Fairy?
>>323944067
>Most 3D Zelda over worlds are actually empty as fuck.
The fuck are you on about? The area of Termina Field immediately surrounding Clock Town had more stuff by itself than the whole of TP's overworld. OoT had plenty of sidequests and hidden areas outside of dungeons as well, and if you only did the story quest, you wouldn't even see a tenth of the Great Sea. TP, on the other hand, has nothing other than shitty bugs for wallet upgrades, a half-assed ripoff of Gold Skulltulas with fewer rewards, and heart pieces that just lie out in the open rather than requiring you to do anything special to win them.
>>323945642
So how does the 3D model work? Do they model the tits or not?

>The area of Termina Field immediately surrounding Clock Town had more stuff by itself than the whole of TP's overworld.
You are wrong little dipshit. Termina Field has what? A few holes you dig up for heart pieces. The observatory you go to once in the entire game. WOW.
>>323945493
Hey man, I'm glad you had the chance to enjoy such solid gameplay, even if you had to rock reduced difficulty. That combat has never been topped by any further entry in the series, and I've played them all.
>>323945765
Why do people claim Zelda cycle? I liked SS day one and I never really cared for TP. TP was incredibly dull and SS was vibrant and full of life.
I remember playing TP back years ago. I beat the first dungeon, wandered the world map, reached Kakariko, and then kind of lost interest in the game. I think I had realized during my run through of Wind Waker that I didn't enjoy modern Zelda games, and was just playing them out of obligation. Eventually, the game was traded into Gamestop and I never even noticed it was gone.
Sometimes I debate going back to it, though. I don't know.
>>323945758
Usually with models or even concept art the subject is drawn "naked" then everything else comes later. So the model was built naked, but the hair is modeled into the chest after.
>>323945758
I'm pretty sure they did.
>>323946090
the Zelda cycle literally states people will say exactly what you're saying right now
your post could be an example image on an article about it
>>323946090
Same. I did use to be more critical of TP when it came out, I eventually got tired of repeating myself over why I dislike it. That may be part of what causes the perception that the general opinion towards a game shifts with time.
Why do Zelda threads always devolve into arguments about SS vs TP?

>>323946475
It's easier to say you like something after the initial heat has worn down. However, if you're here long enough you can see that some opinions remain the same, and those are the ones closest to the truth. Windwaker has cut content issues that fuck with the pacing in a big way. Twilight Princess did a real shit job at making items useful or fun outside of their respective dungeons. Skyward Sword underdelivered on the premise of a completely unexplored Hyrule by deciding to reuse the same couple areas.
It's not a limited edition. They'll be readily available without pre-order.

>>323947698
That's with the amiibo, it will cost less without it
Glad to see nintendo is still pushing the most anti consumer content delivery method in the whole games industry, still.
What's the dungeon? If it's terrible then I won't bother.
If it's one of the better dungeons in the series, sure I'll get the amiibo.
>>323938896
Are they even selling the game at retail without the Amiibo bundled with it?

Not saying either practice is ok but amiibo is marginally less cancerous then on disc DLC because you get to own a figure
>>323948260
You were the one who brought it up in the first place, I was talking about the graphics of the game
>>323945598
SS still has more creativity and did far more to actually advance the series than TP did. It fixes so many mechanical flaws the series has had for ages.
>>323948329
Wut? It's the exact same shit as on disc dlc except it is tied to a limited physical good that usually costs more than that DLC would have and because of its limited nature can often cost far more.
For anyone who doesn't feel compelled to collect the amiibos this is worse than on disc dlc.
>>323939362
>Ocarina of Time, but more of it, plays better
If you think that you don't understand what makes OoT good at all.
>>323943035
This, the wolf segments were just awful pace killing mistakes.
Why did they latch on to that gimmick when they had nothing good to do with it?
>>323948576
I don't think anyone knows what made Ocarina of Time good.
TP is better than Windwaker.
More dungeons which are of a consistent quality and actually somewhat challenging on your first run and the world map actually has stuff in it that's worthwhile.
The only department in which WW is better is the graphics which have aged far better, and maybe the story.
>>323948460
>limited
Its not like its limited on purpose.
>costs more than DLC
Amiibo costs between 10 and 15 bucks depending, most DLC is within this range, with sometimes higher prices
Thats subjective, I'd rather own a figure and have on disc DLC rather then just have on disc DLC
>>323948753
>Why did they latch on to that gimmick when they had nothing good to do with it?
This defines most of the last 10 to 12 years of nintendo's existence.
>>323949086
Definitely the story. TP's may have been more complex but Wind Waker's was told better and never forgot that Link is the main character
>>323949101
>Its not like its limited on purpose.
So? It's still limited in a way that makes it worse for the end user than on disc dlc.
>Amiibo costs between 10 and 15 bucks depending, most DLC is within this range,
Most larger DLC packs cost around that. Most on disc dlc consistes of generic cosmetic crap/bonus items that usually go for a few dollars.
You are shifting away in your comparison from what it originally was.
>>323949086
TP was just all-around bad.
>>323949198
To be honest I don't really remember much of either since Zelda stories rarely leave a mark on me, but this sounds about right. TP gets points for Midna though, she was interesting.
>>323949268
It's the opposite for me, I thought TP was all-around consistently high quality. Only real exception being the wolf parts, but the only real awful thing about that is the bug hunting. But almost every Zelda game has segments like this.
>>323948460
>It's the exact same shit as on disc dlc except it is tied to a limited physical good
The game fucking comes with the amiibo, you can see that in OP's picture you fucking moron. That's the only version you can even preorder at this point, it is not labeled as limited or special edition either.
Stop shitposting.
>>323949443
>TP gets points for Midna though, she was interesting.
But she was too interesting to the point that Link's journey feels inrrelevant. It's why I don't particularly begrudge Wind Waker for shelving Tetra after the Princess Zelda reveal.
>>323948753
>Knowing that I had raised the expectations of end-users by promising that a realistic Zelda was on the way, I knew that I had to come up with something brilliant, something that would take advantage of the look of the game. My staff suggested that changing the environment would change the gameplay and looking to past Zelda games which use the contrast between two different worlds, dark and light, past and future, we thought to incorporate this idea again. This is when the idea that Link would transform into a wolf was proposed. The idea of Link’s transformation into a wolf came from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, in which Link transformed into a rabbit in the Dark World. We wanted to change Link’s environment, but we also wanted to make a completely different skill set available to him in this new environment and thus create a completely different style of gameplay. We wanted him to become an animal, combining the ideas of both the wild and heroic into one. That’s how we came up with the idea of the wolf. I was also scolded by Miyamoto who said, “It’s hard enough to get a two-legged Link to move around in a 3-D world convincingly. To consider a four-legged wolf is something an amateur would do." I knew that what he was saying was right and would eventually regret having even tried it, but even if it was a challenge at the time, I thought that this kind of disruptive breakthrough was just what the staff needed to change their way of thinking.
>>323949086
Agreed about the dungeons, but I loathe TP's Hyrule. I legitimately had more fun with the Great Sea because at least you knew you'd find something in every square, as repetitive as scouring each was. TP's overworld had fuck-all in it and featured no collectibles aside from Pieces of Heart, a few of the golden bugs and mostly goddamn useless rupees you couldn't even grab most of the time due to the wallet being almost certainly full at every given time. I hope they remove that retarded limitation in TPHD aside from pushing the amount of rupees you can hold up to 2000 like they did.
>>323949452
One, we are talking about amiibos in general. You'd know this if you read the whole conversation and made even a token attempt to understand it.
Two, not everywhere, and there is a standard version and a more expensive version with the amiibo in some regions.
Next time try to understand what you are replying to.
I would have preordered but i had just finished a playthrough the day before this was announced
>>323949654
Ah, so he didn't really have any ideas to make it work in gameplay, he just went with it.
>>323949662
I like TP's Hyrule. It and Spirit Tracks are the only Zelda games where I feel like I'm exploring a full blown kingdom
The great sea's advantage lies in how quickly it opens up.
>>323949250
>So? It's still limited in a way that makes it worse for the end user than on disc dlc.
Its not really Nintendo's fault that amiiboo is far bigger than they expected and the whole shipping issue. Yeah its shitty in how high demand some amiiboo are and the faggot price scalpers.
>Most larger DLC packs cost around that. Most on disc dlc consistes of generic cosmetic crap/bonus items that usually go for a few dollars
Not sure where you've been for the last few years but the majority of on disc DLC (in particular fighting games) isn't just cosmetic/bonus bullshit.
>>323949857
>Its not really Nintendo's fault that amiiboo is far bigger than they expected and the whole shipping issue.
They chose to lock game content on a disc behind a PHYSICAL product. The limited nature is entirely their fault because they chose to use a system that will always be limited. You understand that I'm not just saying limited as in hard to find, but limited as in finite relative to unlimited digital purchasing, correct?
>Not sure where you've been for the last few years but the majority of on disc DLC (in particular fighting games) isn't just cosmetic/bonus bullshit.
Start dropping some examples.
>>323949760
Pretty much. Then he went to work on Minish Cap and left the team to their devices. Unsurprisingly, nothing really flourished.
A lot of TP's dev in interviews and concept pieces comes across as "we had no idea what the hell we're doing, just throw things at the wall until they stick"
>>323949857
>Chooses to sell disc locked content with toys
>Not their fault that there is a limited supply
dude, really?
Let us not defend amiibos so much, they're definitely not a consumer-friendly way to add content to games. But then again, no-one's forcing you to buy them, and even in this case it's something extra on top of an already full game, they're not forced to give it for free. If you're willing to drop the money for it and the figure, you do, otherwise you don't. No skin off anyone's back.

Oh, sorry my reply was not up to your standards, I'll be sure to continue not giving half a shit in the future.
Amiibos lock out FAR less than any DLC you get in other western AAA games. The most substantial content locked behind them is the ability to use them in Smash as AI fighters. Just about everything else is a cosmetic item/costume, and you'd be paying anywhere between $5-10 for something like that on any other platform, and you wouldn't have a physical figure either. When it's not cosmetic, the game COMES WITH the amiibo and is still th standard $60, like MP10, Amiibo Shitfest and now this game.
>Two, not everywhere, and there is a standard version and a more expensive version with the amiibo in some regions.
The version that comes with an amiibo is $60, the standard price for a video game. If Mario Party 10 is anything to go by , the game will be $50 without the amiibo. If you're paying more than that, sorry, that's your country's import laws and taxes fucking you. Move somewhere that isn't some third-world shithole. If you're complaining about amiibos ruining your video games, then you're clearly at least living within your means and have some disposable income.
Sorry, a $13 figurine locking out a cosmetic costume is not at all comparable to, say, Battlefront's $50 season pass that had more content in it than the base game did or something like TLOU's mountains of paid cosmetic DLC.
>TFW this isn't actually confirmed
>TFW you faggots are taking an amazon post as gospel
Holy shit, i never knew autism spread
>>323950536
I'm just hoping it's confirmed because it'd be the best possible value for the figure over an item a la Hyrule Warriors or irrelevant costumes like many other games.
>>323950015
Correct, but you also have to understand nintendo saw through that, and thats why theres amiiboo cards, which aren't very hard to produce.
SxT, Mortal Kombat X, King of Fighters XIII, TTT2, Mahvel 3, Bioshock 2, Sonic Generations, The Crew, Guilty Gear XRD
Thats just off the top of my head

Nintendo themselves came right out and said they were disappointed most people just collect them and don't use them for games. Most people don't give two shits about the costume the amiibo unlocks in Mario Kart, they're just buying them because they're collectible figurines.
The only people that actually care are shitposters like you that pretend a single cosmetic item being DLC in an already-complete base game is the worst shit ever while games like Battlefront literally lock half the fucking base game behind a $50 season pass, on top of the $60 the game already costs.
>>323950919
Nintendo has already reissued lots of the harder to find Smash amiibos anyway. The days of buying from scalpers are long gone, Nintendo now knows how much demand to expect.

>and thats why theres amiiboo cards
Aren't there not even amiibo cards for most of the amiibos?
Also, you had to cherry pick the prime examples going back through last gen. A lot of those don't even fit. mvc3 didn't have fully finished character data, mkx had $5 of disc locked shit, not 10 to 15. Most disc locked shit is cosmetic preorder bonus garbage and you know it.
Do you really want to contrast this to needing multiple amiibos to unlock the disc locked shit on project steam or splatoon?
>>323951568
That was me, and I was saying that it's retarded that you think there was any way a physical good wasn't going to have a set supply.
There's only as many as they produce, i.e. a limited supply. A supply with limits. Not infinite.

You should probably stop saying this when we are in a thread about an entire zelda dungeon being locked behind an amiibo.
Also, what games locked half of the actual core base game behind a $50 season pass? Battlefront? Battlefront didn't even have a base game, it's functionally multiplayer only and universally reviled for it. What else?

I don't know, I know they exist, but all that matters is they eliminate the need for amiibo content.
Last gen? Huh, didn't know MKX and The crew were last gen. Not to mention MKX had far more than just 5 dollars of on disc DLC. Not to mention I played guilty gear XRD on next gen and it came out recently. If you haven't noticed there isn't exactly a lot of fighting game on next gen. Also blazblue.
And yeah, most preorder bonus bullshit is cosmetic, but that doesn't change that nintendo is far from the only company doing this.
Splatoon ads a few different weapons in the single player, which is pointless anyways and project steam just added two playable characters, Ike and Marth, and considering its a SRPG, I wouldn't say its that big of an issue compared to a fighting game character.

But they don't, they have amiibo cards for that animal crossing deal, but they haven't surfaced to cover the rest of the line.

Oh come on, you obviously know what I was talking about. Bioshock 2, marvel, SxT? Do you want to pretend you didn't just do that?

I never said nintendo was the only company doing disc locked content, ever. Not once.

The point with those is that the barrier to entry on that disc locked content is $40 for splatoon and minimum $36 if you could have found the fire emblem characters at retail.
They are examples of how outrageous the paywall for nintendos disc locked content can be.
>>323952727
Lucina is $40 alone still.
If you wanted to access the disc locked content on project steam you'd have to pay more than double the games retail price.
>>323951629
>Do you really want to contrast this to needing multiple amiibos to unlock the disc locked shit on project steam or splatoon?
Since you're so keen on splitting hairs, I'll bite.
The DLC locked by amiibos is paltry compared to the DLC seen in just about any other AAA game. The games amiibos "unlock" content in are more complete than most western games with DLC off the bat. The philosophy behind amiibos is to "unlock" small extras that compliment the base game, the philosophy behind most western DLC is to take content that was already planned at the game's inception to sell as DLC. That goes for Nintendo's stance on DLC in general, the games that have DLC were completed as intended and the DLC is legitimate extra content planned and made later. Mashpotato didn't even know he was making DLC for Smash until asked about it in an interview.
Splatoon amiibos get you replays of the campaign missions you already beat and cosmetic skins. STEAM gets Fire Emblem characters, something that was obviously not planned for the base game. Why the fuck would Fire Emblem characters be in a game about steampunk folktales and historic figures? It was an extra they decided on later. It is DLC as it was intended to be, actual extra content, not content planned for the game from the start but cut to sell later as DLC.
I don't like amiibos, I don't buy them and don't use them. But it just seems like much of the hate stems from idiots like you bitching a blue streak "on principle" when those same principles are violated over and over again in much more perverse and shady ways by games and publishers yo probably don't bat and eye at. Evryone loves to complain about how bad it is on pricnipal, but Wicther III was GOTY and how dare you question based CDPR when they lied to fans and made paid DLC that was planned before the base game was even done.
is it just a reskinned link amiibo or is it it's own actual thing? What use is this amiibo going to have on other games? I thought these things were supposed to be useful.
>>323952910
Amiibo have never been useful before. People are mad because Nintendo wants to actually make them worthwhile
>>323952910
The amiibo is in the Ops picture, and they are doing actual DLC with it.
>>323952902
> the DLC seen in just about any other AAA game.
The actual bulk of DLC for AAA games isn't on the disc at launch.
Also, the point was about comparison of disc locked content, not DLC as a whole, and the cost of entry for disc locked content being much higher from nintendo because they'll lock it behind multiple amiibos.
>>323952910
It's currently unknown if it'll act like a regular Link amiibo in other games. Since the various Yoshi and Mario amiibos generally act the same, it's reasonable to assume so.
>>323942031
>B-but the others one does it, so it's completely justified when Nintendo does it
Pathetic
>>323952902
>STEAM gets Fire Emblem characters, something that was obviously not planned for the base game.
You understand that you are essentially making an argument that all content in any game outside of main story mode is totally fair to lock behind a paywall, right?
Boss rush mode? $5. Time trials? $5. New game plus mode? $5.
>>323945410
>>323939095
And so the eternal cycle continues
>>323952727
I do recall nintendo saying amiibo cards are for people who don't want to buy an amiibo. Just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't.
No, I did but that was just the shit that came to me off the top of my head. Why aren't I allowed to use last gen as an example if current gen is still doing it?
>40 for splatoon
http://www.amazon.com/Splatoon-3-pack-amiibo-nintendo-wii-u/dp/B00VHWMK44
Not to mention this content isn't remotely necessary to play the game and doesn't add anything to it
Not to mention how irrelevant both of those are to the game. Also what is a season pass?
>>323938896
Dunno, maybe you should tell me more about this amiibo dungeon and we'll see
>>323953376
It's an allegory for The Legend of Zelda itself!
>>323952902
To be fair, Splatoon would've been fine if it was just the costumes and reskinned weapons. But the fact the mini games are also locked is kinda shitty, especially the rhythm one that essentially can act as choosing your own lobby waiting music.
Plus the replaying levels is a different experience with using different weapons. Hell some get a bit hard with the charger if you can't aim for shit, especially the final boss
>>323940979
Are you retarded? It looks like they barely upgraded anything.
>>323953419
>Just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't.
But it does mean they don't actually exist at this time and thus do nothing to improve the situation.
>Why aren't I allowed to use last gen as an example if current gen is still doing it?
You acted like it was a strong recent trend and then started pulling in games from 6 years ago. Then pretended you didn't. The pretending you didn't part is what baffled me, really.
Alright, $28 on sale to access that one games Disc Locked content. $70 for Steam.
>Not to mention this content isn't remotely necessary to play the game and doesn't add anything to it
The same can be said for Disc locked content for a lot of other games, that was never the point. The point was that they are locking content on games behind a paywall and the amiibo paywall is worse than the traditional digitial one that everyone else used.
>Also what is a season pass?
Prepurchasing for DLC that is historically and by a huge margin produced and released after a game comes out, and not disc locked content?
You keep trying to relate nintendos disc locked content to other games entire DLC process beyond disc locked content.
