I'm going to be asked to spend $80 on a game that will lock me out of some of the content on the disc unless I buy an additional plastic figurine. That's anti-consumer behaviour on their part, and I will call out any company that does it, even Nintendo.
Others keep saying "well you get a plastic figurine out of it", but if that's the case, they should be happy with just the figurine, rather than demanding in-game bonuses that the rest of us are locked out of despite having purchased the game at full price.
There is no excuse, ever, for a full price game not to offer buyers the entirety of the content on the disc they paid for. For years, we railed against companies like Capcom, Ubisoft, or Konami pulling this kind of shit. I am not going to turn a blind eye now just because a company I grew up loving has jumped on the bandwagon.

Good spech and all Curl but it doesnt matter, you are losing the point:
If wast because amiibo you wouldnt have that content to begging with
If that content didnt exist, you would be happier, but if exists as an amiibo bonus, suddlenly the game is incomplete.
And dont fall on that demgagy please, you need 80$ to have the full game.... where the 99.9999% of the game is already included in the game alone, the rest is just little fanservice, you cannot compare that to what other companies do, taking big chunks of a game and releasing later as dlc, you are complaining about a completely insignificant amount of content that would not be there anyways if they didnt need to think something to add.
I´m sorry, but find this really dumb.

That "fanservice" is very significant to me as a Starfox fan, and it's on the disc I'll be buying, yet they lock me out of it unless I buy a separate plastic toy. I will never support on-disc DLC, I don't care if it's minor. For years I praised Nintendo for not giving in to these horrid practices while other companies did. I'm not going to give them a free pass now just because I love their games or just because some other companies are even worse.
As for "it wouldn't exist if not for Amiibo", we can't know that, a lot of it may very well have. And either way, it is still content that is on the disc we paid for, but which we are denied access to.
I find Amiibo repugnant, personally. On disc DLC is one of the worst things to happen to gaming in the past decade in my opinion, and the fact that it's now spreading like cancer through pretty much every major Nintendo game is something I will never be okay with.
