They needed to be protested against like how gamers protested against EA's microtransaction IMO. Funny how people tend to give Nintendo greedy business practices a ton of exceptions.

well with coronavirus affecting hardware production they may in fact go away, so that's something to look forward to if you hate them...

I don't hate Nintendo. I more so hate Nintendo fanboys, and always have. I categorize them on the same level as Star Wars fans. They're that bad.

I don't mind it cuz I effectively look at them as a figurine first, and the miniscule content they unlocked as a bonus feature.

I had no interest in amiibos, but no problem with them either. They're decent quality figurines for the price.

I think the main reason people were pretty passive on them was that Nintendo just doesn't put out official collectibles for most of their franchises. Not gonna lie I was really tempted to get the Solaire Amiibo

That said, locking any amount of content behind a shitty plastic figure was obnoxious. They probably would have sold just as well if they were just collectible figures.

It's because it's Nintendo that people gave them a pass. Yall need to stop.

The point and main intention of this topic was always intended to bash Nintendo fans. I honestly don't care what Nintendo does to make money. Every cooperation does this shit. It's the hippocriticalness that needs to be called out.

Pretty shitty comparison.

Nobody is missing out on any content for not having an amiibo.

They sort of are. And they're worse in a lot of ways because the physical aspect can lead to intended and unintended limited editions.

I love my amiibo. I didn't buy them as functionality with current games but because I never had any official Castlevania/Mega Man/Metroid/etc merch.

I like Amiibo as figures, but their functions in games suck and how rare some of there were/are is awful. I think we would be better off if they were never a thing.

I'd get them if they were quality products, but they feel like McDonald's toys.

I was able to flip 3 1st print villages for over 300 dollars. That funded most of my collection.

Nintendo always made it so their products are limited so that scalpers can buy in bulk and resell for a much higher price. Again, Nintendo doesn't nearly get enough flak as gamers would give other gaming companies for more or less the same greedy practices.

Eh, can you replicate the amiibo scalping with other practices?

Although I agree, in general, that Nintendo should catch more flak for their bullshit.
