| sundin13 said: Well....yeah, what were you expecting? Amiibo are little figures (aka physical) that add things to your games (aka DLC). In Smash you get a fighter to train and work alongside you, in Hyrule Warriors you get an exclusive weapon with certain amiibo (and random gifts with everyone else), in Mario Kart you get skins to dress up your Mii, in a bunch of upcoming games (Mario Party, Captain Toad, Kirby, Yoshi) the specifics haven't been announced. We didn't even know about the Hyrule Warriors function before a few weeks ago so that is a nice little bonus. What exactly were you expecting? I do think that their should be some sort of "hub game" as I call it, but it seems to me like you were expecting something radically different and to be freaking out about this when there aren't even two games requiring write data seems a little over the top. Even still, these are pretty cheap figures as far as figures go and they work in a lot of games. Having to delete your data if you use it in multiple games with write features (assuming Nintendo doesn't create a way to store data), is a small caveat, sure, but saying that anyone who buys them is being "butt raped" is a little over the top. Maybe you should turn down your hyperbole or get a little perspective in your life... |
Maybe you shouldn't be so damn shortsighted. Yes, NOW there is only one game that requires written data or whatever, but the expectation is that there will be many more in the future. Having the equivalent of preorder bonuses tied to these toys is not an interesting or good use of the whole concept. I've said before that this whole thing was half-assed. It's not even half-assed it's quarter-assed or eighth-assed.
