When amiibo support is slightly significant you all shit about it because is anti-consumer.
But when is only skins then you shit about it because is lazy... I dont get it
But I do agree with you about the game, it looks kind of boring and visually joyless, it could be fun for a while, but that's about it. When I think of metroid I think on exploration, isolation, atmosphere, weird and beautiful architecture, rich alien environments.
When I look this I see a bunch of chibi soldiers in a completely flat, uninteresting environement with no sense of wonder whatsoever, its almost the opposite of what I want from a 3D Metroid...
If doesnt look like a terrible game though, just not a remarkable one, however it does look pretty bad as a Metroid game.
