| Soundwave said: What if the game has Amiibo support where you can unlock Nintendo characters? Mario, Samus, Link, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Luigi, Captain Falcon, Pitt, Marth, Fox, Pikachu, Yoshi, Villager could work. |
If I had to guess, Splatoon will most likely have Amiibo support. It will probably do stuff like unlock Marios hat and suit, Samus' suit and arm cannon, DK's tie, Links cap and tunic, etc. The way I see it, this game might have the most Amiibo support we've seen to date because everyone has been waiting for the one game that really takes advantage of Amiibo. With the multiple weapons and peices of equipment this game has, Amiibo have a lot of potential to unlock cool things in it. Look at Hyrule warriors, lots of characters ment lots of costumes, currency, and a weapon or two.
Do I think either of these games will be system sellers? No, not in the short term at least. Aggressive marketing of Amiibo involvement in Splatoon could, but I doubt they will. As far as Mario Maker, I think its too niche. I don't think it will even break 400k lifetime, but I could be wrong. Hell, I don't even see the game selling for more than $40 maybe even $30, the whole game looks like its something that should have just been a part of NSMBU or $15 DLC for the game.
Btw, does anyone else think Nintendo missed out on a huge oppertunity not having a level creator in Captian Toad? A Captian Toad with a level creator has WAY more potential than Mario Maker imo.
