Why is this allowed?
I wont get the amiibo and dont care about the dungeon.
The colours dungeon in Links Awakening for Gameboy Colour might as well not exist.
>>324312835
Actual source?
And dont say Amazon because they have no credibility as a leak source. Especially foreign ones.
Because Nintendo did it.
because neotendo KNOW people will buy into this amiibo bullshit, so why not start locking content behind them.
>>324312835
would you prefer if the amiino did nothing?
>>324313504
You mean content they wouldn't have even bother adding if it weren't for the amiibo?
>>324313639
Yes you fucking autist. I don't want to buy shitty toys for the occasional Nintendo game I buy.
Because it's fun
>>324313639
No, but it'd be better if it wasn't actual content locked behind it. Make it unlock a neat skin or something superficial.
DELETE THIS
>>324313639
Yes because then I won't miss out on content that is locked behind an overpriced McDonald's toy.
>>324313639
Actually, yes. I would. That way, there's no paywalled content, and autists can keep collecting their stupid toys.
>>324312835
This is a photoshop right?

This is why I've hacked my 3DS and buy all my games used.

It won't be, comes with all copies of the game
>>324313639
I hope they "lock" more content behind amiibo just to see people like the ones replying to you continue to be mad.
>>324314135
It probably isn't. Some translated foreign Amazon page had it as a thing on the bundle page, which anyone that's not retarded can tell instantly how credible that actually is.
Though, as you probably know how shitty journo sites are, they rushed to make articles for them clicks, and people of course bought into it.
>>324313883
then dont, i dont. i have quite a number of games that have amiibo functionalities and i dont own any amiibo and i dont feel worse off for it because ultimately what they give dont matter.
>>324313952
Again, the "autists" as you call them would collect the toys whether or not they did something, its unrelated. they get some extra shit with it, good for them, its their choice what they spend their money on, nobody is forcing them.

This. The content that are on amiibo really aren't that big.
People only make a big deal about it because they're literally just looking for reasons to whine and bitch, and to direct it at Nintendo since that's such a popular bandwagon to jump into.
They call people collecting amiibo autistic, then turn around to act like complete autists.

What happened?
>>324314830
Okay, I'll give you that's been true for the most part, but surely you can see the worry people have when are locking more and more content behind amiibo. It's fine when it's pissy little shit that doesn't really matter, but a whole dungeon? That's starting to cross into locking away chunks of real content.

I other hand, what is Aunoma/Nintendo thinking? They changed a lot of MM for the 3DS remake, a game that only needed a graphical update and some minor fixes but they don't change anything of TP, a game that screams for some major fixes and content and then, they only add a dungeon locked behind an amiibo.
>For other systems have to pay for online if you want to play with friends from around the globe.
>Nintendo tries to convince you to buy amiibos for unlockable content while having free Internet.
Why isn't there more threads about paying for online gaming on the other systems?
>>324314830
That kind of thinking is literally how we went from thinking horse armor was ok to thinking literally locked content that is already in the game out is ok.
So you telling me if I were to make a game with gameplay you personally like you wouldn't mind me purposefully disallowing you from touching some of the areas already built into the disk until you pay me extra for what you already pay for?
Let me put it this way, lets say you order some pizza but right before the guy hand it to you he take out two slices and ask you to pay him $5 extra to get those two slices back that you already pay for. People aren't being entitled, they just not being retarded like you are. Learn to fucking think for yourself, if you are on this site then you should be legally an adult and should start thinking like one. If you aren't 18 then opinion doesn't mean shit as legally speaking you shouldn't even be here and most likely get your parents to buy the shit for you.
>>324312835

Even the Shadow Mewtwo card in Pokken only serves as an instant unlock while the character can be unlocked through conventional means.

I love midna porn but that was just gross.
Even if it's true, it quite clearly isn't part of the main game, yeah, sure, it's DLC, but seriously, who the fuck cares? You probably already OWN this game, and are willing to pay for owning it again, but extra stuff costs extra? BLASPHEMOUS!
>>324312835
because its fun? i just preordered and cant wait. alot of games have stuff like this, how is it any different than a DLC or season pass? at least u get an amiibo out of it! you STUPID FUCK
>>324316314
Shadow Mewtwo is an exception. Most of the content unlocked with amiibos can't be unlocked any other way.
I imagine a lot of people would be more cool with it if Nintendo also sold that content as cheap DLC.
Don't want an amiibo? Buy the DLC for that specific game.
Like amiibo? Buy an amiibo and get the figure, plus a savings by getting on the DLC free across all games.

>>324316373
Nor was Smash, what's your point?
They're still compatible with Amiibo and have multiple characters not bound to an Amiibo jackass.
>>324316681
I think one of the problems is that people are putting too much worth behind the "content" locked behind the Amiibo anyway.
>>324316863
ALttP had exclusive dungeons locked behind paywalls as well.
Isn't it ironic that Wind Waker, the "kiddy" Zelda, got a legitimate figure while Twilight Princess, the supposedly mature Zelda, gets a glorified happy meal toy?
>>324316959
Care to explain your likely shitty post?
>>324313686
Yeah, they were really doing us a charity act with the $50 / $60 upres of a game that's finished. Without the amiibo there certainly wouldn't have been enough extra change to add a dungeon.
>>324316951
The point is that why would they lock characters behind something that isn't even out yet? Not even Nintendo is that retarded.
I refunded Shovel Knight on Steam because of this amiibo bullshit
>>324317208
>The point is that why would they lock characters behind something that isn't even out yet?
Ask yourself that, you're the one saying that they would.
>>324316227
Exactly, added content from nintendo is almost always passable and mediocre. I really cant think of any dlc by them that begs for your attention, I guess save the smash characters.
>>324312835
Amiibo are selling like crazy and I doubt the little shitty extras games give you are any part of it. Nintendo doesn't even need to link content to it, people were already buying them up just to collect them.
I just don't get it.
>>324317151
GBA Link cables
>>324316862
>>324316354
You can't access new content or DLC with your original TP versions, it's something logical, the Wii and the GC are legacy systems, if you want the new content you have to buy the new version, that again is something logical, but in the past, Nintendo offered that new content with your purchase, you didn't need to pay extra. A few examples:
Link´s Awekening DX had a new dungeon + the photo album gimmick.
Metroid Zero Mission has a huge graphical update, new mechanics, new physics, new areas, new bosses, revamped music and also, included the original Metroid.
Super Mario 64 DS has three new characters, new areas, 30 new stars, some extra bosses, minigames, a drawing gimmick and a little multiplayer mode.
This was included with your purchase and doesn't needed extra stuff.
For TP you need to pay 60 dollars again for the base game + extra for an amiibo if you want an extra dungeon.
>>324317325
>I just don't get it.
What's not to get?
A lot of the Amiibo are cheap merch of Characters that don't get any like Ness and G&W.
>>324317151
You need to buy an extra GBA, a link cable and a extra copy of the game to access all the content.
>but just ask a friend!
Well big guy, just ask a friend to lend you their amiibo, then.
Stop complaining and post more Midna
>>324313639
Uhm...yes? It's Physical DLC. Even worse...ON DISC DAY ONE PHYSICAL DLC.
>But the toy...
An useless extra for people who don't want those shits. I only see a pay-wall behind a dungeon.
>>324317414
That's your argument? Because everyone had GBA Link cables to trade pokémon and fight against your friends.
>>324317486
You're forgetting that E-cards existed.
>>324312835
They need to stop making new, useless amiibo and starting giving the previously released amiibo some actual usage. If the regular Link amiibo unlocked the dungeon it wouldn't be half as bad as this
>>324317505
I don't get why they are locking increasingly significant content behind it when the extra content was not really the reason everyone was buying them up anyway.
>>324317325
>I just don't get it.
They're cheap, they have functionality in a ton of games, they're either iconic characters everyone loves (Mario, DK, Link, Kirby etc) or niche characters with a rabid fanbase (Ness, Samus, Captain Falcon etc) or real crazy inclusions (Pacman, G&W, Bayonetta etc)
It would be crazy if it didn't sell.

I know the whole happy meal toy meme is a thing, but they're honestly just fine for something you can walk in a western store and buy for 13 bucks. Go into Wal-Mart and compare them with toys you can find there for the same price instead of far more expensive Japanese statues and you'll see they aren't actually bad quality figures.

You people are seriously dumb.
When you buy the game it comes with the amiibo, its not an extra $15 purchase like you make it out to be.
There are no standalone copies, every copy you buy will come with the amiibo bundled, same as Chibi robo and Animal crossing party.
You pay a flat $60 like any other wii-U game.

The digital version is $50 because it's digital. The physical version would be $60 even without the amiibo.

It's still $60. Okay so you get the Amazon discount, it's still a $60 game. You get all preorders for $48 that doesn't mean those aren't $60 games.

You needed two copies of Alttp to even play Four swords, and good luck finding a friend at the age who had it too. I always wanted to play FS as a kid and never could because all my friends were sonic fans.
You needed:
2 GBAs
a Link cable
2 alttp Carts
And then for the Four sword dungeon temple in the actual game, you had to complete fourswords. Yeah, good luck with that.
And lets go even further, FSA for the gamecube, The multiplayer is literally locked to GBA control.
If you wanted to play multiplayer, you needed FOUR GBAs, and FOUR link cables.
Couldnt use a GC controller, had to be a GBA.

You make it sound like that isn't how Nintendo got big in the first place. Taking advantage of retarded fanboys IS the Nintendo way.
Honestly? I don't see the issue. If you're a Nintendo fan you obviously still enjoy toys and collectability. You wouldn't be a nintendo fan otherwise, you'd just emulate their games via PC.
You like their games and merchandise, so why are you so against the idea that Nintendo, a toy company, would market toys?
Quite frankly I wish sony and capcom would do the same, I'd love to have more individualized little collectable figures of all my favorite Vidya, could have Phoenix wright, Amaterasu, The whole street fighter line, Dante, RE Characters, the list is endless and marketable.

>IT'S NOT A CONSOLE WAR THREAD
Ok.
>>324319001
WindWaker HD released for $50 physical and digital.
>>324312835
Honestly this game, my dead hopes for a star fox game and a Wii-U animal crossing where the only games I was looking forward too in the Wii-U and my only reason to buy the console.
>>324319405
>paying for reservations
What the fuck
>>324318881
>wii u games
This is a gamecube game.
>>324319535
>ROB was a peripheral,
Gyromite and Stack-up were nigh unplayable when playing solo without it.
Same goes for Duck Hunt.
>>324319535
ROB was physical DLC.
A paywall.
He literally was.
And he was in the first US commercial.
>>324314553
>as you call them would collect the toys whether or not they did something
that's his point dumbass. they will buy their plastic shit even if they did nothing. So making them not hide content would hurt nothing, this is completely anti-consumer
>>324318385
type ex boyfriend not boyfriend. friend.
>>324319405
And you realize they're probably doing that of their own choice, right? Seems the amiibo is still available there too. So, people can't complain about it being impossible to get when it's available right now.
>>324319564
>YOU HAVE TO LIKE AND BUY EVERY SINGLE THING NINTENDO DOES
It's not a console warrior thread, right?

>>324319294
>YOU had to buy the game
>Friends are irrelevant
Then how do you play multiplayer genius?
I'd gladly have paid $12 bucks for an amiibo back then to unlock the content rather then going out of my way to find someone who bought the same game, or spending a fortune just to buy another copy, AND another GBA.
Face it, this is far cheaper then most alternatives, Hell Pokemon should start doing this so we don't have to buy both versions every gen, would save a few bucks. just release a version mascot amiibo that unlocks all of that versions exclusive pokemon.
>>324319610
It's the same way you would pay a deposit on a pre order anon.
>>324319610
The preorder price gets substracted from the game when you pay.
>>324319741
>this bait
You know the answer you're looking for but you're just looking for an excuse to shitpost again.
>>324313639
How about this instead:
The amiibo unlocks the bonus dungeon right away for you to go to, but if you don't have the amiibo, you have to go through a series of quests and obtain in-game items that unlock the bonus dungeon without the use of an amiibo.
Just outright locking the content behind an amiibo and not providing a challenging but fair alternative to unlocking said content without an amiibo is a dick move that should not be supported.
>>324319661
thats funny. I dont think you ever owned one. it was way easier to play the games without the robot. And thats what most kids ended up doing. Still was cool as shit and I would buy again.
>>324319705
It's an official selling point. Doubt they can do that "at they own"
>>324319668
Why don't you learn some history kid, ROB was a trojan horse to get toy stores to stock video games again after the 80's crash. No one gave a fuck about ROB, they never locked SMB levels or LoZ dungeons behind a ROB DLC.
>>324319761
...you're really alone, aren't you?
>>324319946
>Physical paywall
>Still was cool as shit and I would buy again.
IT'S OK WHEN _
Any game that requires you to pay for DLC is instantly bad in my eyes. It should come free with he game, or should release for free after the fact.
Terraria did it, Shovel Knight did it, FTL did it, even TF2 does it by allowing you to get the content ingame without paying a penny. What's Nintendo's excuse?
>muh money
>>324319668
never owned a rob the post.
>>324319927
Or how about just selling us the DLC digital for the same price, so we have the OPTION of buying it and not have it forced on us with the purchase.
I want the Dungeon, I DON'T want the shitty happy meal toy.
>>324312835
Because you retards bought Nintendo's ridiculous artificially limited low quality physical DLC because "It just unlocks a new AI character, it's totally not DLC".
This told Nintendo that you unironically enjoy eating shit, and so Nintendo served you more shit. Congrats.
>>324319831
>no comeback so I'll just shitpost
Thanks for admitting you lost.
>>324316150
Well we do know that they made the wallet hold twice as many rupies, and the Tear segements have been shortened to have only 12 tears instead of 16
>>324319915
Yeah, that's what I thought. Drone harder.
>>324319927
Except you morons would then complain about it anyway.
Why else would you be posting in this thread if not for something to bitch about?
Any and all possible arguments on this subject have already happened on multiple occasions. Only point now is to piss others off.
>>324319968
>Why don't you learn some history kid

>B-b-but it was ok back then
lol
>>324320070
>anon gives a scenario where you get it for free
>NO I WANT TO PAY!
Are you really that retarded?
WAIT! Guys... wait..
What if...
Not only we hide new content for old games behind a pay wall.
But...
but...
What if we made these physical DLCs....In limited supply?Scalpers gotta eat, too.
Nintendo is quite aware its fanbase will buy it
>>324320096
>just shitpost
That's what you're doing yes.
>Thanks for admitting you lost.
(you)
>>324320151
Did you NEED him to play the game? No.
>>324320034
it wasnt a physical pay wall no one ever used it. Shit was a gimmick. still one of the coolest gimmicks I ever had.
>>324312835
Because it comes with every copy of the game, who cares?
>>324320229
It's included as standard.
>>324320305
Just like amiibo.
>>324320324
>it wasnt a physical pay wall
(you)
>>324320208
>Do a bunch of shitty half-assed sidequests to unlock something or pay for it outright.
Yeah no, I'd pay. I had my fair of shitty update quests with runescape. I'd rather just get the content instead of do meaniningless dribble for it.
Cmon, do you expect nintendo to put effort into something like that? I'tll be backtrack hell through popular areas and collect the chickens or some crap like that.
>People are honestly defending amiibos this hard
Why? For what purpose? I don't understand
>>324319741
Valvedrones and DRM
Xbots and paid online
And the big one Sonyggers with all of the above with the addition of going into Nintendo, Steam and Microsoft threads and shitposting incessantly to no end.
And if you have anything to say about those terrible practices?
>b-but Sony
Every
Single
Time
You literally can't criticize Sony without a horde of them jumping on your ass.
>>324312835
>people still defend Amiibo
I can't wait for the NX to outright require Amiibo to do certain shit. It'll be funny to see people scrambling to defend that as well.
>>324320389
what? it wasnt no one used it. And the games they made for it sucked anyway. It was a blatent gimmick.
>>324320537
What about us PC owners who don't rely on steam as if it was their only way of playing games? The true PC gamers who use GOG, or uplay, or just bypass them all entirely?
Are we not allowed to complain about terrible practices like this?
>>324320217
[SPIC SQUEAKING NOISES INTENSIFY]
>>324320549
>what? It was a blatent gimmick.
It was physical DLC.
>>324312835
Keep killing yourself Nintendo.
>>324320305
>Did you NEED him to play the game? No.
You do if you want to play the games without switching between two controllers when playing solo.
God forbid you didn't have a second controller and wanted to play those games because you were fucked if you didn't have ROB.
I just buy them for the figures, I don't even own a wii-U or a 3DS.
>>324320531
Because people like arguing about pointless things they'll forget about before long.
>>324320537
We'll see a monthly paid premium service from Valve long before we see Half Life 3.
>glorified remake above 20 dollars
That's where I stop reading. Your game isn't worth over 20 dollars Nintendo.
>>324320809
>amiibo are one of their best sellers
>Zelda always sell
>Keep killing yourself Nintendo.
Is this Pachter?
>the content the Amiibo unlocks is free, it's a gift for buying the collectible item!
Right, and PS+ games are free, they're just gifts for buying a subscription to the service, right?
Get fucking real. You're being had and you don't even realize it. And now it's too fucking late to do anything. They've gotten the message. Amiibo are more popular than the fucking Wii U. You really think that will steer them in the right direction?
>>324313639
The only acceptable thing would have been for amiibos to not exist in the first place and the new dungeon to just be in the game locked behind nothing.
>>324320061
Nintendo's excuse is that investors want them to increase their profits by 400% in the next 3 years. They sure as hell aren't going to do that by increasing sales.
>>324320769
no it wasnt. It had like 2 games. it was to break into the western market and it worked. There were all kinds of neat robot toys being sold at that time.
>>324320697
Then you're a fucking drone.
Every service has some kind of anti-consumer feature so if you place it on a pedestal above the rest then you're a fucking retard.
>>324320543
Who's scrambling, exactly?
You sperglords still haven't provided an actual counterargument to the fact that this comes with every retail copy of the game, ultimately rendering any and all shitposts like this as nothing more than blowing hot air. You're angry at something you're 100% getting in the package.
And nice tin foil hat theory about the NX; let's assume they'll continue on with amiibos as they print money - there's still nothing indicative that amiibos will be required to play a game in full. All of these inclusions have either been additional or supplementary content or cosmetics. How you managed to leap to an extreme negative outcome is beyond me, but hey, I'm dealing with neo-/v/ after all..
>>324320973
>n-no it wasn't
Sorry it was.
>>324320537
>Valvedrones and DRM
Digital purchases are tied to the system on Nintendo, and they defend that all the time.
>You literally can't criticize Sony without a horde of them jumping on your ass
That is fucking rich coming from a Nintendo fan.
>>324313639
Yes. In fact, I think amiibos are fucking stupid and a huge scam for Nintendo to Jew out its consumers.
>>324312835
Because Nintendo is going back to what they did in the 50s and 60s and mixing it with what made them popular in the first place.
But I still don't see why Nintendo could take the time to do digital DLC instead of of figurines with exclusive shit inside.

>>324320543
Shit, I'm not going to be laughing about it. I like a lot of the games Nintendo puts out. I don't want to be getting my games in pieces, and while in the past Nintendo has been reasonably good about avoiding the DLC trap that most major consoles have been pushing, Amiibo has made me worried that they're surging past them with their own turbo-jew ways. I'm actually starting to hope that somebody can figure out a way to hack Amiibos, so to speak, where you could trick the game into thinking you own whichever one you want, because while I don't advocate piracy or theft what they're doing is just downright ridiculous.
