Be glad Metroid is having any releases at all >_>

I guess they could make another Other M or Federation Force if that'll make you happy

Hyrule Warriors needs an Amiibo for 100% completion, and I got told to deal with it.

Fucking hypocrites.

Honestly, I encourage any Metroid fan to buy the game anyway, but if they don't want to use the amiibo, they don't have to. I want more games from the franchise so I encourage sales, but I understand why people hate the way they're doing amiibo.

I love Metroid, have the Samus and ZSS Amiibos, and have the new Amiibos on preorder along with the Special Edition of MSR. I still think it's a dick move to lock a difficulty level behind Amiibos, particularly coupled with the artificial shortages.

Yeah this I'm buying Metroid because I want Nintendo to keep making Metroid games, but that doesn't take away how they're handling the amiibo's here. The fact that Nitnendo can't keep up with demand when it comes to Amiibo's shows how incompetent they are at it, so the best solution for this is to either overstock on high demand amiibo's or provide alternatives like unlocking the amiibo content through in game means or allowing us to unlock the amiibo content digitally or something.

Are you seriously being a nintendo apologist and defending their awful business decisions? Without us, they won't be able to make money.

This this this. This is the problem with Nintendo's method of DLC distribution: not everyone has an equal chance to buy the damn DLC, as it's not freely available. Good for them for enticing millions of people to clutter up their shelves with little Nintendo knick-knacks, but fuck them for locking DLC behind these knick-knacks.

But locking away an entire character is alright.

Because I said that. I'm assuming you're talking about the Prothean in ME3. They aren't mutually exclusive problems, and EA got shit on for that decision as well.

DLC for Hyrule Warriors, huh? Yes, that still ties in to my initial comment of consumers not being able to get the DLC at their leisure because they're tied to stupid shit that collects dust on shelves.

if you want more games from the francise, get people to band together and boycott this. one thing you need to remember about being a consumer is you vote with your wallet, and even if you dont buy amiibos or support what they're doing, the sales will tell the corporation "this plan worked let's do it"

People cared, I saw numerous complaints about Amiibo unlocks in Hyrule Warriors. There are also people now giving us shit for complaining about the Metroid unlocks. You're posting in a topic for just that, ffs. Your complaint of hypocrisy has no merit.

There's no DLC in FFXII: TZA. There's alternate modes that you unlock by beating the game and by beating Trial Mode. No DLC at all. It's positively refreshing.

Hell, not even rental. Just bring your damn Switch/3DS to the store and use their amiibo for like 2 bucks.

Is that confirmed, and are those tanks part of the 100% or just "I suck at the game please gimme" extra nintendo is doing for the carebear whales?

It is confirmed that is what they do in addition to one of them unlocking a harder difficulty with new costume and all of them unlock artwork I think.

It's just assumptions that it counts towards 100% or not I think.

If we must have DLC, I actually prefer this form of physical dlc. You can use many amiibo for multiple games. Most digital dlc is locked to one game.
