Nintendo is one of the biggest bastards that gets overlooked all the time.

  • Making people pay for pokemon bank to transfer pokemons.
  • Cant copy save from Switch so if it breaks, you lose your progress or you can use their paid cloud service.
  • And because of the save thing, you cant even buy 2 copies of Animal Crossing so your sibling can play their own island, they'll need another switch.
  • Locking content behind amiibos
  • Years old remasters costing more than original
These are only a few points i can think of. Oh actually, locking Epona behind an amiibo on Botw is also a sin. Im sure there are many others that i dont know of.

It's a mask, lol.

To me this is whatever. The owl statues that were in the game weren't spread far enough apart to be an inconvenience to me. It's nice to have but doesn't bother me that much. I've gotten used to fairly significant features being locked behind amiibo for a while now. I can access those features anyway.

What I am more peeved about is that there doesn't seem to be much different with the remaster other than the option for no motion controls and they're charging full price for it.

Wouldn't you simply make a separate profile on the Switch for the sibling, then?

This very specifically does not work for AC.

One Switch, one island. If another profile is playing, they'd be going to that island.

Here's a thing what I don't get about Nintendo regarding Amiibo's, why not have an option in buying the amiibo features online instead of always locking it behind the toys? The big problem is that the toys are limited in quantity, which can be literal paywalls if you want access to certain features because you can't get your hands on one.

I still barely have a grasp on what amiibos are. So they're like toy figurines, the kind those anime geeks buy, only with a bar code that can be scanned by the switch controller?

Like how the e-reader was back in the gba days only they're actual toys you can play with? Or just for display?

So essentially you'd have to buy the toy... to get the feature? It can't be something like a digital download, like a DLC pack the way other companies nickel and dime gamers?

You pretty much nailed it. Same thing like those e-reader "trading cards" for the GBA except with the novelty of owning inexpensive Nintendo miniatures.

And here I thought Nintendo was done with amiibo outside of Smash.

@Cobra1010
Don't forget that not every game is compatible with their Cloud service. The games that you would especially want it for--Pokemon, Splatoon, Animal Crossing, for example--cannot use it, so if your Switch breaks or gets lost or stolen, then you're SOL.

At least Animal Crossing has its own backup save feature, but it's still inexcusable.

The nice thing is its easy to just not support nintendo anymore because they only put out good games like once every couple years these days, the rest is just overpriced ports and casual sports/minigame trash

To me, not having the Motion Plus controls is a meaningful enhancement. I liked the game first time round, but I hated that control scheme, so playing it again with normal controls is a massive plus.

Ah I see. I'm just really surprised they're taking off so much in the past 4 or 5 years switch has been out since previously that kinda stuff didn't sell all that well but... yeah I got nothing. I can't really see a reason to why it's popular now and not then, so much so that it's more profitable than say an actual virtual console for switch

Not only do you have to buy the toy to get the feature, every time you want to use the feature you have to scan the toy on top of that
