Except that the "locked out" content is stupid shit like shitty outfits in Mario Kart 8 for the Mii player, a level 50 computer in Smash, and bonus items you can find in-game anyway in Hyrule Warriors.Vivi22 said:Not avoiding them since I don't have a platform where I could even use them. That said, I'm strongly against the idea of making video games which lock out some of the content unless you start buying some stupid fucking figurines on top of it. It's a blatant cash grab and the fact that it seems to be working makes me sick to my stomach. I guess even Nintendo isn't above treating their fans like open wallets.
That's has zero value for me.
The entire value for these Amiibos are the statues themselves. Where else are you gonna find a decent piece of merchandise on Little Mac? Bowser Jr? Duck Hunt?
That's the whole appeal.
