People need to vote with their wallets and not support these practices. I'm a pretty big Nintendo fan, but even I can't defend everything they do. I'm not down with this amiibo stuff.

The only acceptable way I can see amiibo being used is if they gave you extra lives in a game, extra ammo, more Pikmin, stuff like that. But to lock an entire mode behind an amiibo purchase is not cool, imo.

Also, do we know for sure that this mode is locked on the cartridge and not the amiibo itself?
