Welcome to 80's and 90's when games shipped 100%. lol

I also miss how games back then had no hard drive installs or day 1 patches, and on cartridge systems, pretty much no load times. You could plug it in, turn it on, and play, with no BS getting between you and the action.

I know I'm entered bitter old fart mode here, but I can't help feeling that for all the technological advances, games have gotten worse in a lot of ways over the last two decades.

I saw some cool fan art of Skells with different skins based off of available Amiibo...
Something like that would be neat...
I would certainly understand the frustration, however, if those skins also came with features only available through the Amiibo...
It would suck to be unable to utilize a feature or a weapon or whatever because it's so damn hard to find a Pit figurine...

Me too. It's like Amiibo are shoehorned into every Nintendo game. Nintendo was better off making it a collectors line of products.

Sonic & Knuckles. But it was kinda cool.

It's not bitterness or age. You say those things about yourself because you've been trained to think that way. Young people can't handle the fact that their shit has even a slight tinge of stink. Some things are black and white though and spending $49.99 in 2005 on a disc, which shipped 100% and fully tested, is one such case where arguing against it = stupid as hell.

Every progressive step since the end of the 16 bit era has brought along with it a door into a dark area. PS1 gave us CD play back which foreshawdowed "entertainment" boxes. Dreamcast gave us online gameplay which meant the ability to ship half complete games that were broken or glitchy on day 1. The Xbox gave us HDD which allowed for DLC, system updates, digital games... 

Nothing is all rose colored but I prefer the 16 bit era and older consoles. Those were the days of true innovation and a plug and play simplicity that is all but dead.

What, don't you want a cool figurine of this new hooded blue shirt Link? o: I'd be down with that, or any other cool figurines that could come out from it.

On the topic of XCX, even if it had amiibo support, it would likely be such minuscule content, you would probably not miss it. I check on XC3D, and all that does is give you extra tokens to unlock extras in the game, which you can earn in game anyways.

I figure XCX would give something like clothing, though I guess it could drive you up the wall if you needed a Link or Zelda amiibo to get their outfits in game.

Agreed, it's nice to see a few games without Amiibo support

..though a Skell Amiibo would be really cool :p

Fuck that. Bring on the Skell Amiibos!
