Everyone has no issue bashing on Capcom or other devs that have disc locked content, but Nintendo comes out and does the same thing and they're praised for it.

With various games, Nintendo will be releasing Amiibo for specific games, costing between $10-$15 each.  The Amiibo will be required to use certain features in various games.  The SSB Amiibos will allow you to save a growing AI, customize skill sets, and growing damage perameters of the specific character that t hat Amiibo represents.  The data is already in the game, it's not like they couldn't have just had the option in game without forcing the player to spend more money to use it.

Let's say someone wants to be able to use this feature on every character in SSB.  No idea how many characters will be in the game, but assuming Mr. Game and Watch is in the game, that's 34 so far.  At $10 each, you'll be spending $340 at minimum.  So SSB will be about $400 for the full game.  This is much worse than anything Capcom has done with DLC.

I don't recall anyone "praising" Nintendo for this strategy and it's not locked on-disc DLC. More like "unneeded accessory" if you ask me.

It's not something I support, however.

Tbh I havn't seen anyone praising amiibo

I agree with Conegamer, this isn't disc-locked dlc.

If anything this is an unnecessary accessory, which...............

I've heard people complain about with Nintendo countless times.

Oh yeah? Your specific character that comes with the Amiibo is the same as everyone else's, huh?

I am pretty sure the point of them is so you can have individual characters with individual stats being utilized throughout many Nintendo titles and so you can bring them over to a friend's house to "battle" against them. The point is to raise them to be different than everyone else's. It even writes back and forth between the Amiibo and the Wii U. Almost like raising a Furby or one of those furby Yoda's.

Absolutely nothing you said has any merit whatsoever and goes against everything the Amiibo is meant to be.

Huge fail, guy...

Nintendo did miss the DLC wave last generation so now they're overcompensating.

Joke thread confirmed

Its not on disc dlc. It provides exchangeable features via a figurine.

B-15 Bingo, I give 2/10 for his effort

This can't be serious can it...
