>>385319789
THANKS A LOT NINTENDO!! THANK YOU FOR RUINING THE INDUSTRY AGAIN WITH YOUR STUPID FUCKING GIMMICKS.

Fuck, why can't they just go 3rd party already? Now everyone is gonna lock content behind plastic toys.

>>385319789
Can't watch to see sonyboys defending this when they passed the last 5 years shitting on Amiibos.
Kinda like they did with paying for online. And PSmove.

Remember when Nintendo invented Toys to Life with amiibo?

Oh wait, they didn't. It already existed on multiple platforms.

>>385320065
Skylanders was selfcontained. I didn't need to tap my Spyro toy to unlock the shotgun in the latest CoD game.

I don't know how to read moon runes so can anyone confirm if this article actually has any legit sources?

I'm only a bit skeptical because the mockups are using a Vita which would be a fucking trainwreck in the making.

Sonybro here. I'm fucking pissed. This is bullshit. I'm not buying them, and I hope no one else does.

>>385320065
Toys2Life is not the same as locking in-game content for all your games behind cheap ugly plastic toys.

If I wanna buy a figure of a character I like. I'll spend $70 on a high quality piece from Japan, not some shitty looking happy meal toy that takes up shelf space.

>>385320349
its legit

says when you put the robots on the vita the face appears and they have a voice

>>385319789
Nintendo copied Disney and Skylanders first.

>>385320918
>Blaming company's for copying another company's success because their fanbase is too autistic to not buy anything they shit out

You're right. This isn't Nintendo's fault. Nor is it Sony's. companies gonna company, they only seek to make money.

This is YOUR fault you autistic Nintendildo. You just had to obsessively go out and buy every single one of those happy meal toys and defend all of Nintendo's scummy actions, didn't you? You autistic piece of shit.

Go fuck yourself.

>>385320961

Nigger I don't own a single amiibo, don't be pointing fingers at me

>>385321164
Its obviously Vita 2

>>385319789
Do Amiibos have electronics in them?
What prevents China from make fakes?

>>385320053

Why?
Nintendo didnt introduce Loadable content Bethesda did with DLC last decade.

Atleast i get a fucking figurine that can be used in many games and not a shitty DLC for 10 bucks that is tied to one game.

Also

How blatant can one company copy from another company ? And so often

I doubt Sony is dumb enough to reuse proprietary cards. I mean Sonys latest smartphones use micro SD cards, not memory sticks or vita cards.

>>385321346

Some of them are quite nice to be honest.

And like i said:
Additional content wasnt invented by Nintendo they just followed years later and developed it further.

In most cases you get a game and the game has a season pass with shitty DLC in it.
You can only buy the DLC digitally.

Nintendo publishes games with 1-4 DLC'S and to obtain them you get to buy a figurine.
This figurine can in many cases be used for other games as well.

Amiibos are a better deal than the absolute majority of DLC out there

>>385323447
Not even close. E-reader was designed to carry small games through packs of cards. Lost one card in a pack? You lose the game forever.

Meanwhile amiibos and Skylanders are just DLC on a toy. You can lose the toy but as long as you got the NFC code backed up then you can use it anytime

>>385323556
If there's one thing Sony doesn't do, it's not make a shit ton of product.

Skylanders

Just like PS All Stars, the list has to be padded out with third parties

>>385322078
Why do you lie?

Hold on. I thought Amiibos were for kids? Sony has spent the last 5 years eradicating everything child-friendly about the company like Ape Escape, Patapon, Loco Robo etc. to pursue this "maturer-than-thou" attitude.

What happened? Does it have anything to do with the Switch's sudden success?

>>385322078
I just splatooned them last night. Got some exclusive gear.

They do the same shit. Unlock armor, unlock music, save gear and camera configs and you can take pics with them.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4J_4eGav14

>>385324417
Only less than a handful of games supported it. The primary selling point of the e-reader was the games on cards thing.

Also it still doesn't change that if ONE card goes missing or becomes washed out then your entire set of cards become useless.

Basically Sony doesn't know what the fuck they're doing

>>385324909
In this case, it doesn't matter the device, what matters in the patent subject. Just like them patenting the new Vita. The Vita is the patent subject, therefore they were quite detailed.

>>385324592
>Only less than a handful of games supported it.

Doesn't matter. e-Reader unlock shit a la amiibo.
Nintendo is doing this shit since 2001.

>>385325053
Patents don't mean shit either way. Companies patent tons of shit and nothing ever comes out of them

I wouldn't have anything against amiibos if their content weren't locked to your ability to purchase a limited physical good.
It's also impossible to use them outside unless you want to carry them around with your.

There were a handful. Trust me.

There was also the PS All Stars defenders, which every single allegation towards it being a copy of Smash was "But muh Outfoxiiiiies!" PS All Stars is the only game like Smash Bros that gets combatted to hell and back

IT'S OKAY WHEN SONY COPIES IT

Amiibo's were great in Smash bros. If they had kept being things like that instead of physical DLC they could have been awesome.

>>385325576
There's no way to tell which patent is a real product and which product isn't

Sonyngger here, amiibos are retarded and if Sony makes em I won't but their versions either, just like I didn't buy PS Move.

I could see it working with LittleBigPlanet


too bad sony killed the franchise :^)

So now you faggots are ok with physical dlc? Fuck ya

>Nintendo does some shit
>Sony does it better
What's the problem? Even if it's just a patent(those don't mean anything) it may just turn out good for once. Hell, look at the other shit Sony technically copied from Nintendo(though they didn't originally make it) and improved it.
This is just how industry evolution works. Someone popularizes something, others improve it.

Also nice ones like Kat, Kratos, My wife's son, Parappa, Loli from Ape Escape, etc.

Like I said, you can tell from the details and subject of the patent. If you are patenting a concept, there's no need to illustrate with detail the hardware.

>>385321594
Are you implying that's not gonna be in an upcoming PS4 firmware update?

>>385328669

How big of a span does "recent years" cover?

>>385333731
>Ask literally anybody on the street who John and Ellie are and they'l say "Oh those guys from Last of Us?"
I doubt that. TLoU had the longevity of milk in the summer heat. On top of that they're just regular names do you really think that people will automatically think of the characters instead of giving you random looks?
It's not like saying "Hey do you know who Super Mario is?" or Sonic, Rayman or Crash. Those characters stand out. Joel and Ellie are nothing in comparison.

>>385334216
>random people

>>385333731

>>385333731
Yeah, I'm sure they'll think of videogames. You fucking manchild.

>>385334743
Are you saying people don't know John and Ellie from Last of Us? because you're in for a pretty rude awakening.

>>385334791
>It's not like saying "Hey do you know who Super Mario is?" or Sonic, Rayman
Rayman is a literally who at this point, and Mario and Sonic's popularities are in a freefall at this point. No one is hyped for Odyssey and by the next 2-3 years no one is even going to remember Mario.

>>385334793

But here, enjoy more (You)s, suck on them like the cock-hungry slut you are

>>385335007
I feel I should point out that for how much you're arguing that Last of Us has memorable protagonists, you're not even getting the main character's name right. His name is Joel, not John.

>>385335007
>B-but Nintendy

I don't own a single Nintendo console because I don't like their games and the amiibo shit and I still think you are a dumbass. Normies can recognize Mario and Pokemon, but no way in hell they'll think "Oh, Last of Us, right?" if you say 2 common as hell names. you dumb fuck.

>>385326681
Yeah. None of them have paint slop as bad as Palutena.

>>385335007
>Are you saying people don't know John and Ellie from Last of Us?
Yeah I'm pretty, since the guy is named Joel, not John
Fucking retarded shitposter, you must be so mad that you can't even think straight

>>385335281
Pokemon maybe.

Give it a few years, John and Ellie will be overtaking Mario in popularity.

>>385335247
>I've run out of arguments, better insult him and flee

>>385335256
Fuck off, I know their names. You're not fooling anyone by trying to confuse things.

>>385325426
there was literally nothing wrong with psmove

>>385335007
>Rayman is a literally who at this point
And yet he's still far more recognizable than Joel and Ellie because as a character he's unique in both personality and certainly design.
>and Mario and Sonic's popularities are in a freefall at this point.
Don't kid yourself Mario and Sonic are rooted in gaming history even if they lose their popularity they're still going to be household names solely because of that. And are you really trying to say they're in a freefall when they're more popular than ever due to their upcoming games?

>No one is hyped for Odyssey
That's not what E3 and the various forms of social media had to say.

>people don't know John and Ellie from Last of Us?
Also you have to admit the irony of you calling them memorable when you forgot Joel's name.

>>385335256

>Joel and Ellie

>>385335515
That's because they aren't memorable characters.

Sony has been into AR and NFC since the fucking mid 2000s
There is a reason why they almost went bankrupt and that is because they were trying all this new shit that people cared jack shit about.

System seller QUALITY anon.
As the game itself was good enough to sell units rather than being shilled. It was just a souls game with less mechanics that had the brand recognition of the souls series removed.
Of course Bloodborne had a lot of advertising and critic backing too and it still flopped in comparison to other games.

>worthwhile exclusives aren't always system sellers, and system sellers aren't always worthwhile exclusives
Keep on telling yourself that. There was nothing in that game that was worthwhile.

As a DS/3DS owner I hope Sony comes back and trounces Nintendo. The PSP is the one system I always wished as a Nintendo platform. Nintendo makes some cheapass handhelds.

It's ironic. Nintendo has better games and superior console hardware (per size you can't even argue this, but also other nuances make them better), and they lose every gen. While Sony makes superior handhelds and during the DS era, better handheld games, yet they lose to Nintendo.

WtH is wrong with this freaking industry?

Except Amiibos were nintendo's copy of Activisions skylander shit. But of course drones don't remember that.

Monster Rancher had specific unlocks hidden behind cds with games made by Tecmo(Deception 2 unlocked a specific Millennia pet for example). Checkmate drone.

>>385349863
Not the same, fucko.
e-reader cards had nintendo characters and were physical objects with the only purpose of unlock shit.

>A disc with a character printed on it that unlocked said character in a different game.
Literally the same shit as you shitty cards for children. Only without spending money on pointless paper cards that have no value by themselves. Based Tecmo.

Looks like there's a device on the bottom that interfaces with the touch panel.

This patent was submitted back in 2013, so I doubt it's a sign of anything Sony has planned for the near future. Probably just an unused idea for the Vita.
