So it seems I was right (I wish I wasn't) about the Black Arwing being Amiibo locked.

This is really disgusting conduct by Nintendo. There was a time not so long ago when they were held up as an example of a company that didn't screw its costumers with carved up content. Now they're a prime example of the wrong way to do DLC; locking on-disc gameplay content behind overpriced and undersupplied toys. 

What next, will you need to buy Amiibo to play individual characters in the next Smash Bros?

Of all the ways Nintendo has disappointed me this generation, Amiibo is one of the most egregious. 

The Falco Amiibo isn't undersupplied, at least not here in the States.

I wouldn't know, but Nintendo's record with meeting demand for Amiibo is spotty to say the least.

That's not even the problem though, that's just one sour raisin in a stale and mouldy cake.

If there is a way to unlock the Black and Retro Arwings without Amiibo, I will whole-heartedly take back my criticism.

I hope so. Well, I don't mind about the Retro Arwing. I think that's the kind of stuff that could be locked with Amiibo's. Everything that doesn't affect directly to the gameplay (though Retro Arwing is really cool). Black Arwing, though... That's really, really wrong. I'll wait and see if we get some info about it. 

If that's the case, I think Nintendo fans should let them know. How? I don't know, but I'll be willing to be part of it. Though Nintendo doesn't seem to care about fan feedback sometimes XD.

Well I'd suggest you wait for the price to go down before buying the game then. Go one step further even: send them an e-mail and let them now why you're upset. Don't reward Nintendo's crappy practices.

I will certainly be getting in touch with them, don't worry.

And while I'll probably still get the game, I will never, ever buy an Amiibo.

I watched that too, haha. I was hoping they would comment on a hard mode without the falco amiibo, but I don't recall them saying anything about one. That just confirms my worries... T_T

Gonna wait for it to drop in price before I get it. $60 is a bit much for a game that makes you pay $12 more for hard mode x.x XD

I love the usual double standards Nintendo stuff gets by everyone. 3h is atrocious, 10 hours when you do 100% of the game including replaying a bunch of areas over and over again, is also atrocious for this day and age. If its based on an old game or is Star Fox or whatever shouldnt serve as an excuse to use game design of 20 years ago and get a pass. Quantum Break and The Order got thrashed for being short but Nintendo, as always, gets a pass. The game is even getting a pass from locking a freaking difficulty mode behind what is basicaly DLC, seriously ppl...

Yeah, let's just ignore the multiple people in this thread, some of them Nintendo fans, who are calling out the Black Arwing Amiibo lock. They're not getting a pass.

Free pass? Are you reading the comments? XD. About replaying levels over and over again that's not the way it is. You unlock new levels and secret bosses. It's not just replaying the same levels a hundred times. I don't know about QB, but The Order lacks any replayability, so...
