Current Events > Metroid: Samus Returns has a non-amiibo hard mode.

(+) Yeah! (+)

However that hard mode is apparently not as hard as the fusion mode that you get from scanning an amiibo.

Nintendo is so anti-consumer

Why would they link the non-casual mode with the casual-oriented toys?

I love nintendo but shit like this is so inexcusable...

Good thing there's an easy way to "replicate" amiibos, otherwise I'd be screwed out of so much stuff.

Is the fusion mode harder because the fusion suit fucking sucks, or its overall harder as in enemies hit harder and are tougher?

Eitherway idgaf about this fusion mode, i'm still wondering about the alleged extra missiles and e tanks from amiibo people were talking about the other day and them counting or not for the 100%, that's where i draw the line...

Those pop figures are the most ridiculous thing. Something about the way they look just annoys me.

Me too man. Those stupid fucking beady eyes. Fuck those things.

Just to play devil's advocate, the balance they need to hit with amiibo content is pretty hard to manage.

If it's too inconsequential then people won't want them and if it's relevant then people will complain it's content locked behind physical DLC. You can't win, really.

Only solution I can think of is having some sort of virtual amiibo you could buy from the store as an alternative to the physical ones. You'd get a 3d model you could view and display in some virtual space (kinda like melee trophies) and you could "scan" them into any game that's compatible. Oh and have them be like 2 or 3 bucks a piece or something.

They still make Amiibos? And people still buy them?

lol

if you're collecting more for the extra content you can just buy a blank NFC chip and make your own amiibos.

and I think the overwhelming majority who are buying amiibos are collectors.

so I think having any content locked behind a limited run toy is dumb.

This is just speculation on my part, but I believe the fusion suit is just a cosmetic thing and the extra difficulty comes from enemies hitting harder and being tougher.
