This better be not the only way to access the mode! For fuck's sake, Nintendo..

The title of this thread is misleading: the Falco Amiibo doesn't unlock a mode, it unlocks an arwing.

It's functionally the same difference.  Using the black arwing changes the way the player interacts with the game and vice versa.  It's like saying that hard mode in a first person shooter isn't really hard mode, they just made the character weaker.  "We don't have a hard mode for Duke Nukem Unlimited but you can unlock Duke's brother, Punk Nukem, who has weaker attacks and takes more damage!"  The end result is that it's more challenging.

Whether or not it should be refered to as hardcore mode is another matter.  There may be other modes (other arwings, whatever) that are harder.
