The game still has a hard mode for people wanting it to be more challenging, this just a separate one for the amiibo with some more interesting effects. I think as long as it still has a hard mode, a different separate mode behind the amiibo isn't just as bad. I know there are people who would prefer to have something other than an amiibo to unlock it but Nintendo have to do something with amiibo. They probably should have other ways to access it I suppose.

Gotta politely disagree. I really don't think we should be so forgiving or accepting as you put it. If other games and companies like Fallout 4 and Bethesda give new difficulty modes (survival) as free DLC (correct me if wrong, i believe it was free/don't remember paying for it), there is no reason to accept Nintendo doing this. I think boycotts are silly but for anybody who cares about healthy practices in gaming should really think twice about buying the amiibo. If Nintendo can't find a way to make amiibos more appealing in less toxic ways, that's on them.

I understand every company has some shady practices, there are no saints here, but I feel this specific case is fairly straight forward.
