| MDMAlliance said: It's not disc-locked content. Information is actually stored inside the figure, believe it or not. That, and the fact that the figure will work for multiple games. It's not even the same thing as DLC, and I don't think most people will really be missing out on much for not getting it. |
It is disc locked content actually. With SSB, the AI and customization data is stored on the Amiibo, but all the content for that comes on the game disc.
The Amiibo working on multiple games is further proof of it. You buy an Amiibo when SSB comes out. You use that same Amiibo on a game that comes out a year, maybe two years later. Obviously the data for the game can't already be on the Amiibo. Whatever the game uses the Amiibo for, it downloads that data to the Amiibo. That means that the content is already on the disc and only with the Amiibo are you able to use that content. Hence, disc locked content.
