| RolStoppable said: It's hard to imagine that this will be worse. Buying first party software should enable the use on both devices, but certain features or extras could only be available on one of the devices. Feeling forced to buy a device you never wanted comes at a high price, but unlike amiibos which keep growing in numbers, it would be a one-time investment. But it has to be said that the strategy of having software shared between devices is meant to make the hardware purchase less of an obstacle. Making notable features exclusive to one device for no good reason would stand in conflict with the purpose of the new strategy, so it isn't likely that we'll see a "worse than amiibo" future. |
And unlike Amiibo, you only need one, albeit large, additional purchase to have all the exclusive content for every game you will ever own. With Amiibo, you have to literally own every single Amiibo to acheive the same fear.
When I said "worse than Amiibo," I only meant that the content paywall is exponentially larger.
