That's excellent. Well done Nintendo.

Now patch out the amiibo lock on all your older games and all will be forgiven.

OK, I'm really happy now. Now, Nintendo, keep this going for your games and I'll be totally fine with it.

Thank god.

Ahaha, I thought it was too soon to say amiibo was the only way to unlock them, and turns out I was right. Good of Ninten to do that. Hopefully this becomes the standard from here on out.

Also, I don't recall Ninten telling people anything about Falco unlocking anything. I remember hearing that from a youtuber 1st...

Pretty much called this whenever people were prematurely freaking out over the supposed locked content. Just goes to show you should always wait until it's actually confirmed before making assumptions.

It wont be going at all, Planet Robobot has already ruined that.

Was it confirmed before that it was Amiibo locked or was it just a rumor?

It was revealed that it could be unlocked via amiibo and people (wrongly) assumed that was the only way to unlock it.

Ah, I see I see
