| oniyide said: When yhey first announced amibo and how it would work, I knew i wouldnt like it for the reason you listed. Its really just expensive DLC in hard form. Maybe im being cynical but it seems Ninty takes and idea (in this case Skylanders) and makes it worse just for the sake of being different. |
Before amiibo this stuff was awesome bonus content. Now you have to buy costumes individually for $13 apiece... if you can even get your hands on them.
It's just dumb. Clearly it's a great business decision for them. But they made a very small amount of cool bonus content for Mario Kart 8 and sheltered it away behind an over $100 paywall. Yeah, it's great that if you already bought an amiibo you get a costume for owning it. But those costumes are the sort of thing that feel like they ought to have been in the game anyway, as regular unlockable extras.
This is the post-amiibo world:
stuff that would have been included in the game a year ago.
