What do you think about it?

Amiibo = meh 152 25.38%
 
Amiibo = love 167 27.88%
 
BraLoD = hater 51 8.51%

I like them and the fact they aren't doing DLC exactly the same as their competitor's is a good move IMO. They aren't the greatest thing ever, but obviously they are popular. What have they sold? 40+ million? Now if we just had a game like Super Amiibo RPG that lets me summon spells, items and characters using Amiibos.

The new Kirby Amiibo could very well be bundled like Wolf Link was for TP:HD

Will the game still cost the same or 10$ more like TP:HD bundle with wolf link?



Kind of like Gyromate for NES which was requires R.O.B to play with it.

Edit: Ew! You slept with Sanic???



I mean on their own (without DLC) Amiibo's are really well made little display figures of everyone's favorite characters. I have no real issue with it and this is coming from someone who HASNT been buying many Amiibos (only a few to give to others in the yarn Yoshi and Link)



If you're mad about Amiibo thing you can still use Amiiqo HA HA HA , Why So Serious BraLoD.

Good point

Oh yeah, I would be happy with Nintendo sticking only to building figurines.
Other companies as well.
I'm totally not okay with them locking and ripping game content behind it though.

Have they come out and said that you need a spesific Amiibo for some transformations?

Sigh, I wish every game was like Super Mario Maker where the amiibo is cosmetic and most are unlockable in game. Not this sort of this locked on disc dlc where you have to buy the right master key to unlock it.

That would be the best method.  If everything was unlockable then there would be no problems.  Personally, I don't want any gaming toys at all.  Even if Amiibo were free, I'd rather be able to unlock the extras inside the game itself than own some toy that's just taking up space.  That way, they'd be good for children who want the toys and might have trouble unlocking stuff anyway.



I never had an issue with the content that was locked behind amiibo because most of the time it was irrelevant but nintendo screwed up with TP HD and Kirby, that's the type of content you don't lock.

It's the part regarding Kirby true? If yes, that sucks big time. ( no pun intended)

Yes it is, if you want the UFO ability you HAVE to buy the amiibo for it.

And The UFO ability is a pretty cool one, too! Ugh.
