>People still defend Amibofaggotry Why?

>>324155313
What's the problem? You're not forced to buy them, and the content they unlock wouldn't exist if not for Amiibos.

>>324155497


How about they make the fucking content without forcing me to buy a toy? What kind of argument is that?

What he trying to saying is that there would NOT be a Mr. Game & Watch costume in Yoshi's Woolly World, if amiibo did not exist.

>>324155581
I'm saying they make content for the purpose of giving you, the consumer, the incentive to buy Amiibos, and not for this they wouldn't bother doing it. For example, the Amiibo mode in Mario Party 10 wouldn't have been made otherwise.

What's wrong, op? Abandoned your thread because it didn't turn into irrational hatred of amiibos like you hoped?

I want a Cloud amiibo

Amiibos are fun to collect. Sure there are some that are terribly designed but i ignore them. I just collected all the Mario characters and plan on getting the rest of the third party characters from Smash and i'll probably be done with Amiibos unless they make a Sonic collection. Personally i just use them for display and dont bother trying to level them up and shit

I don't see a problem. Plus "physical DLC" is stupid because they only lock away purely aesthetic things that don't matter. Excerpts Link which locks a weapon in Hyrule Warriors

>>324160831

Don't forget the extra dungeon in twilight princess hill kun

I wish amiibos were worth owning, from a /toy/ soldier's perspective. If they made those nintendo Nendroids and Figmas have amiibo chips in them that would be great, but I'm not gonna spend that much money on a static figure that wasn't even properly designed.

Whose fucking idea was it to just take the Smash promotional poses? 90% of them don't lend themselves to figure form at all, they have to make stands and iceblocks and shit.

>>324160923
Don't forget an official confirmation of a rumor from some european site.

lel at the buttblasted janitor deleting the twilight princess amibo thread.

Do they? I haven't heard a positive comment regarding amiibo in ages, and granted, that "exclusive dungeon" bullshit in the TP remake is fucking disgusting.

I don't think anything good will come out of them.

>>324160831
>>324160923
>>324161218
Why are you guys forgetting Splatoon? Fucking $30 or so for some extra levels and costumes. This one's the biggest offender.

>>324161640
overpriced, but the game is still complete without them.

I like figures, I want figures of nintendo characters I like.

Oh what? these figures do some shit in my games? That's kinda neat.

Those who feel the need to get EVERY AMIIBOOOOOOOOO
Those are the people with the problem.

>>324160831
They lock an entire mode away in MP10, one that is arguably more fun than the main one. Fuck you drones who defend this practice.

>>324161125
This.

They fucked up badly with the Smash poses, half on them require a support which looks fucking ugly.

>>324161640
Because the extra gear is still literally aesthetic only and the extra stages are just the story stages except with a different weapon, it's nothing special at all.

>>324155497
>Wouldn't exist without amiibo
Are you fucking retarded?

At no point in time while they were developing a KIDS TOY did they say "Hey wait I got an awesome idea why don't we lock the content we were originally going to put into the game into this toy instead so people are FORCED to buy it?"

Phyiscal DLC.

I buy the figures I like. They look nice, and unlock stuff in games.
That's really all there is to it.

>>324155497
>and the content they unlock wouldn't exist if not for Amiibos.

Even if that's true, the development resources they pour into amiibo shit could have been used to make the game better in other ways.

But don't try to tell me the spinner weapon wasn't just gated off because nintendo probably mandated koei add some amiibo support. Or the costumes in rainbow curse which used to be unlockable in canvas curse, but now just dumbed down and relegated to amiibo. Or characters in codename steam

>>324161847
>>324161939
I still want to have them, though. I'll pay $10 for them, but I'm not paying thrice as much just to get some ugly happy meal toys.

Is it wrong to call Amiibos a meme?

shovel knight coop
amiibo party in mario party 10
retro mushroom in mario maker
two yoshis in wooly world
super chibi robo
hide and seek in captain toad

None of these are just aesthetic shit. Some are bigger losses than others, but don't say bullshit that they are just for extra costumes

I'm already a collector, so I'm not surprised at the number of Amiibos I've amassed. Personally, I also like having something physical to go along with my DLC.

>>324162068
Oh yeah I'm sure they thought it wouldv be a neat idea to make a Megaman or Sonic costume for Yarn Yoshi before amiibo

>>324162176
The Splatoon amiibo are the best looking Amiibo though. They make the rest look shameful

>>324164992
If you look at them as nice figures that happen to unlock little extra bits, they're not bad.

>>324156127
Considering how many people are supposedly just buying them for the happy meal toy I don't think the content is necessarily an incentive.

I bought a handful of them because I liked the characters/games. They're sitting on top of my speakers.

>>324165126
They're nice figures used to lock irrelevant content behind them and newfags defend such practice.

If we were in a dlc free world (as we know dlc) that'd be a cool feature. Thanks CAPCOM.

>>324155581
As far as "physical DLC" goes, amiibo is probably the least offensive figure line because of how inconsequential most of the bonuses are, even if some of them (see >>324162420 ) get to be a bit much.

If we're gonna bitch and moan about anything, it should be shit like Disney Infinity and Lego Dimensions, which are designed ENTIRELY AROUND making people buy dozens of toys to experience the full game.

>>324164992
I'd rather we get actual nice figures and games that don't lock us out of shit if we don't have them

I'm a longshoreman. A year ago my union was involved in a contract dispute with out employer. I found more discussions about it on /r/amiibo than anywhere else on the internet. It was actually pretty frustrating because this kids were using words like "strike" incorrectly. I got banned from the subreddit after correcting a few morons on the intricacies of collective bargaining. It's a pretty shit community of losers.

>>324165943
Thing is amiibo are the reason for using the nfc system, so pretty much everyone were ok with the idea. Even before the "physical dlc" meme.

Sadly that gave birth to the cancerous people buying them because muh content.

Fuck the why not? people.

>>324165850
>If we're gonna bitch and moan about anything, it should be shit like Disney Infinity and Lego Dimensions, which are designed ENTIRELY AROUND making people buy dozens of toys to experience the full game.

On the other hand, you could argue that those games at least contain it to one game. With Amiibos, literally every Nintendo game after 2014 has some form of paywalled content (however small it may be).

They're both pretty shit.

>>324155313
Autists.

I had the misfortune of walking into a Best Buy on a release date for one of those things and there was just a long smelly line of landwhales with long hair at the checkout line. The girl at the register said none of them could even look her in the eye. The PC guy meme is dead accurate for Nintendo fans.

>>324166641
>On the other hand, you could argue that those games at least contain it to one game.

That's one way to think about it, but at the same time, isn't that more of a ripoff than being able to use an amiibo across multiple games?

>>324161857
This. I just got Megaman, Chibi-Robo and Dedede because I like Megaman and Chibi, and I main Dedede. It helps that those two happen to actually look good, unlike any selection of FE characters.

Disney Universe on PS4 is the same shit. I've seen gameplay videos and it looks like it would be right up my alley. But I'm not about to buy some plastic shit just to play a game. i'm 100% digital on my ps4. I have money. But I refuse to buy a fucking figuring and plug it in to my system to do some shit I could just as soon do with a download.

I guess it just depends on how you see it. If you don't want the Skylanders figures, then you probably won't want the game, so it's no loss to you. If you don't want amiibos, you still might want Nintendo games, but you'll find that there are certain things in the games you can't get with out the toys.

>Comparing Skylanders to Amiibo

It's not "being able to use it across multiple games" it's "you are literally locked out of content across multiple games UNLESS you buy an overpriced McDonald's toy you have no interest in."

Don't fucking spin it as if it has some greater value because Nintendo is shoehorning it into everything now.

Good uses:

Simple crossover costumes that have no bearing on gameplay

OK uses:

Partly jewish locking coop mode behind it, but also uses it well for custom knight save transfers and they DID make these modes for the game waaaay post launch, so it is kinda just proper physical DLC.

Purely just physical DLC day one. No save data use and no use of pre existing amiibos.

Palutena easily has to be one of the worst. Lots of later amiibos improved significantly in quality, especially ones like the Splatoon amiibos. This just plummeted right back to Morth tier though.

>>324168042

Yeah, just keep making plastic figures so the "Nintendo is for kids" image won't ever change.
