Their fans are man-children who hold Nintendo dear, as Nintendo was the only thing in their Childhood.

The alternative doesn't involve fat fuck resellers rounding up all of the DLC codes and throwing them up on ebay for an insane inflated price. I'll take the fucking 1 and 0s

writing amiibo content to blank NFC chips is super easy with a phone application
you can get the tags for 80 cents a pop online

bonus: they're the size/shape of credit cards, so you can get a business card organizer and store almost a hundred of them in something that looks mature and you can put on a bookshelf/in a drawer instead of displaying your plastic figurine autism to anyone who visits your home

>So basically their saying that I should skip and just keep playing AM2R?
Not really. playing AM2R doesn't unlock the content either.

You all are acting as if many of you were actually going to play to game, or if there are not tons of way to "pirate" the amiibo function without the collectible

better be bait
>>
>>385515973
yes. there are standalone devices that allow you to have one little plastic thing and then press a button (or use the phone app) to change the amiibo loaded.

second option is to buy blank NFC tags and then write individual amiibos. they make ones the size/shape of credit cards and they're less than a dollar each.
>>
>>385515973
Yeah, you have a few options
1. Buy blank NFC cards/stickers and write amiibo data with a smartphone
2. Buy an Amiibo powersave. It's chinkshit but comes with a reader and a re-writable disc you can use over and over again.
3. Buy an Amiiqo. More expensive version of 2. but much better quality. I think they're had to come by these days though. May be wrong.

I recommend 2, Amiibo powersaves aren't that expensive and its been working great for me.

No but playing a game that has hard mode, day 1 instead of a shit game that locks it behind toy time with Mcdonalds is a great solution.

That's what I'm talking about. At one point in time, things like paid online and hardmode dlc would be considered unacceptable to Nintendo fans. I played a tonne of Wii games in 7th gen just to get away from that shit. Now my only option is PC and I'm getting tired of playing nothing but indie games and games that are 10 years or older.

They give away free modern games every month for starters. They also offer voice chat that actually works, cloud saves (MS has this even if you are not paying), no friend codes, achievements, family sharing and many more features.

Nintendo doesn't do any of that, they are charging for a worse service than what they had on the WiiU, embarrassing.

Nintendo is far from being strapped for cash. They only do things like this when they know they can get away with it.

You know what really gets me about this?
When they started selling pre-orders for the amiibo, they didn't even tell you what they do.
They only decided to tell us AFTER pre-orders were started selling out.

You forgot to count the $200 Gamecube, your electricity bill, the $400 TV, your house, your home insurance, the padlock for your door, and food and drink to eat while you play!

You paid $10 for a cable that allowed the two games to interact because there was no other way to do it. In the age of wireless communications this is absolute fucking nonsense and yet you have to pay even more.

>>385516851
Yes, they made two subtanks, a missile tank, and Metroid 2 concept art for the Amiibo. Good forward thinking on Nintendo's part, creating concept art 25 years ago for this Amiibo! What geniuses!

>>385518585
why not buy the game and pirate the amiibo? It shows support for the game AND disdain for amiibos. Win-win
>>
>>385518521
Anon, people don't generally buy Amiibo for the in-game content. It's bought because you want the figure for it. The digital content is just a bonus.
>>
>>385518718
Because I'm not interested in funding a new nu-Castlevania or amiibo locked content in general, it being like this in the game is enough to warrant my lack of support.

The hell are you talking about? Almost every Amiibo has been given additional content to unlock with every new game release. You more than earn back what you paid for it with more unlockable stuff announced for it.

Well, at least now I know not to buy anything Nintendo until a couple of years have passed and I know I won't be getting screwed by new hardware locking me out entirely from things, and when there's also a hacking scene so I can just pirate whatever the fuck I don't feel like forking out money for.

you can get the cards for 48 cents each free shipping on aliexpress. unless you're going to buy more than 100 cards, it's cheaper to buy the cards.

also, ntag215 cards can normally be written to more than once, but this is a limitation with the app/understanding of it. as far as I know, there's no option for physical cards that can be rewritten. devices like amiiiqo can be rewritten obviously.

if they packaged all the amiibo stuff together and charged five or ten dollars for it then i'd be willing to take the dick up the ass but i'm not going out of my way to spend the price of the game on a bunch of toys and a fucking nfc reader for my o3DS just for content that should have been in the game for free by default

You're forgetting an important point. That $40 copy of Metroid Fusion could also be used to play Metroid Fusion, that $100 GameBoy Advance could be used to play GameBoy Advance games, and that $10 link cable could also be used in other games. The $15 amiibo? It unlocks a mode. That's it. It serves no other purpose. You're paying $15 to change a 0 in your savefile to a 1.

You know, you people said that about every amiibo. Not defending them, but most all amiibo currently work with multiple games giving out skins, modes, and other shit as games release. The Smash Samus ones work with Mario Maker, Smash, Mario Kart, and now this game at least of the top of my head.

Lucky me, I just wanted the cheap little figure, the rest is gravy.
>>
so, let me tell you why and how this happens.
feel free to believe me or not

Amiibo division at nintendo is an independent one. They have limited resources so they are the ones that decide if "making an amiibo" is worth it - actually making MORE than one toy, each game has to have at least one.

Developers, both internal and third parties, of couse want amiibos of their games because they are the bigger -and sometines only- fans of the game. So the pitching process begins, they have to make their amiibos more appealing for the bussiness people over the toy division if they want to have a collection and not just a single figure. Even sometimes the amiibo division will push features themselves to increase the toy appeal

the TL DR is: having amiibos made for your game is a battle against the other nintendo teams. So locking content behind them is the only way to be picked over the tenth Splatoon amiibo if your franchise is not as mainstream
>>
>>385522405
Skeleton Rapist should stay dead. Skeleton Rapist 2 was the best rape adventure game ever made. If it was revived, you'd have to pay extra for skullfucking and everything would be censored anyways. It wouldn't even come close to being as good as SR2. Let it stay dead and have some dignity.

>>385523414
The only reason they weren't abusing the shit out of DLC is because they didn't have the infrastructure in place to do so.
A lot of networking and OS level shit was hardcoded into the Wii, making it impossible to deliver DLC
They took the moral high ground while they could and turned into a bunch of fucking kikes once they could charge for DLC. 7 bucks for a Smash fighter.

Sometimes I forgot that I paid about $30 extra for most of the DLC characters for Smash 4 (pretty sure someone gave me their code for Mewtwo for free). And then I feel kinda ashamed.

I don't mind DLC when it's done like the way it was in MK8 but this right here is just bullshit. At least offer all this shit locked behind amiibos for like, $4 or something.

Same. Every amiibo I bought was at the original MSRP or less. I lucked out with the BOTW amiibo because I was buying them day 1 and I knew scalpers would go full retard with the Guardian amiibo. I would have liked the Bayonetta and Cloud sets, but I'm not touching that trainwreck with a 10 foot pole. I'll probably just settle for Figmas and/or Play Arts for other characters I like that I want some merchandise for. Still kicking myself for not buying the Lucina figma when I had the chance.

I literally don't understand the strategy, but this is just what Nintendo does.

Nintendo is a shit company with games I really enjoy and they have a very strange culture. I was hoping that the new CEO would fix it, but clearly he won't.

>>
>>385525235
That's what people defending the Hard Mode DLC in Breath of the Wild said. "It will totally be in the base game. It's just a Master Quest thing." Lo and behold, there was no hard mode with the base game.
>>
>>385525253
Only if you're an idiot and try to buy them just before a major game that uses said Amiibo is announced. Most of the highly sought after Amiibo was fully stocked in stores at one point when there was no new games out for it but people didn't buy it since they had already beaten the game they wanted it for.
>>
>>385525429
Also, I keep googling it. No one's saying a thing about a seperate Hard Mode from Fusion Mode. So far, signs point to Fusion Mode being the hard mode and being locked behind an amiibo.
>>
>>385525429
Zelda games rarely has a difficulty option. Not even sure why you would bring BotW up as an example, especially since it's not the fans that's speculating about it this time around.
>>
This sucks, but what's even worse is the fact that they won't even keep these Amiibos in stock. I was considering getting them since I'm a fan of the series anyway, but I doubt I'd even be able to find them.
>>
>>385525558
Considering the name is Fusion Mode, it's probably is a Fusion Suit only run. Not that it matters much since there wasn't a difficulty setting in the original and it was hard as fuck already.
>>
>>385525565
I'm bringing it up because people said that the Hard Mode was part of the base game and not locked behind DLC when people started complaining about the Hard Mode in the DLC announcement. Also, as you just said, they rarely have a difficulty option, but they still have one in a few instalments that came with the game barring OOT: Master Quest. No extra purchases required.

Why would you make a mode that is only accessible through a product that is known for stocking storages?

Wouldn't the obvious option of just paying for dlc be more optimal? Or am I missing something?

What is up with this level of retardation going on here? Like if you're going to go full Jew at least give multiple options so you at least guarantee you don't miss out on people interested in the mode but not the amiibo (or can't get one).

So nobody can actually give an 100% answer whether hard mode is actually in the game or not?

I mean hard mode is usually unlocked post-game in Metroid games anyway and I doubt they wanna reveal their post-game stuff pre-release anyways. All fusion mode does is give you a hard mode with a fusion suit bonus.

So unless there's a rep saying "no there's no hard mode in-game", I'm gonna wait and see. I won't rule out both possibilities though.

When has Nintendo "shut down" anything?

The Wii, DS, Wii U and 3DS are cracked wide open and they've barely done anything about it.

Most of Nintendo's audience is children and manchildren who are too dumb or too strongly desire plastic toys to bother with a workaround.
>>
>>385526203
So you would rather have no game than a game with some of the extra content sold separately?

Sure it's bullshit. And no it's not ok, it fucking sucks.
But between having no game and actually having a game? There should be no question about it. Even without the amiibo stuff it's still a proper game. It's no federation force. I'd take a new F-Zero game in a heart beat even if they were to sell the sound test, time trials, and classic skins or whatever separately.

I actually prefer any dlc to be locked behind amiibo, its a lot easier to circumvent then traditional dlc. I have a phone that can read and write nfc cards, So I buy a stack of about 35 cards for the price of one amiibo, download the amiibo bin fipe off the internet, and bam, 35 amiibos for the price of one. Cheaper than traditional dlc

I think the game could use a better art style and the devs could be better at animating than they are. Samus' jump looks kinda bad in this.

I'm definitely going to buy it to support the franchise though.
>>
>>385530262
No, but this game looks pretty bad. It would probably look good if they had released it on a real console, but the 3DS is pretty much incapable of making 3D look decent.
>>
>>385528602
there are dedicated sites where you just go in your browser to get amiibo bins. google it. first result.

you need an android phone and NTAG215 NFC stickers. you also need a couple files to load into the app. if you google "how to write amiibo nfc tags", the guides will tell you how/where.

once done, you just load the amiibo bins in and price "write tag (auto)", hold tag to back of phone. that's literally it.

your phone must support NFC, but pretty much all phones from the last four years do. noteable exception is the oneplus two.

Honestly i don't understand why they try to shove so many 3d titles or just titles with 3d models down people's throats, I mean a beautiful fleshed out 2d is just so much better than shitty 3d, that's why a majority of 3ds games looks so shit and it's even worse with the resolution. I loved thegba and the ds so much with all the 2d sprite based games, i mean a game like zero or fusion are better to look at than this one, even other franchise suffered from that shitty 3d modelization (hello ace attorney). Maybe it's just me though

Easier to make and work with. You only have to make a 3D model once. If you come up with a new move, you just make a new animation. For sprites, you'd have to draw a bunch of new ones.

They outright lied about that one.
It was advertised as unlocking an exclusive ability to the amiibo, UFO, that can only be gotten via the amiibo.
In reality it was like you said and the amiibo was not needed.

This is why the 3DS is still being supported, folks. Amiibo-exclusive content.

Right.... unlike MH, Metroid Samus Returns already has peoples interest so once again, whether /v/ gets the game or not is irrelevant. For myself, if I'm not able to get the game in September and it sells over a million, I will probably not get the game at all because it's pretty much guaranteed that Metroid 5 is coming next since I really don't care about remakes anyway.

I completely ignored this amiibo shit because its for tiny people that aren't allowed in the front seat. I decided not to buy the game because it couldn't get any worse than nintendo requiring you to buy their plastic crap, and it actually is worse?

I think it's shitty that music and art are locked behind amiibos since those have been standard fare forever but I never really bothered with that stuff anyway. What grinds my gears is that they have something cool locked behind an amiibo that's only sold as part of a package that costs $30 and is already sold out on Amazon. The DS Castlevania games had alt character modes included and those are old, it seems a shame that a new 1st party Nintendo title would require extra money for such a thing.

I don't see the problem in something that's 100% optional that does nothing to the base game besides add some new level and a costume.
If it hindered your progress in the game then I could see a problem.

The Metorid Amiibo just gives you the fusion stuff and based on the article the other amiibo will just give you stuff I haven't used since I discovered YouTube or made an iTunes account.

I mean, I'll probably get the Amiibo since I like how they look. Especially the Metroid one, and I've already got the ZSS Amiibo since I had the extra money and sort of wanted it.

I mean are you mad because it's on the Amiibo as a neat bonus, or because you can't just buy it on the Eshop?

I care because I want to play Hard mode and I think paying $40 for the game to include that is reasonable.

I don't give a shit if the stuff the Amiibo unlocks is purely cosmetic. I give a shit when the stuff a toy unlocks is gameplay related. Hard mode is gameplay related, therefore it's scummy that they are trying to pull this.

Should I also buy the NFC Reader to do this just because apparently Nintendo hates me enough that buying an O3DS early means I should get fucked when they decide to make software unlockable through hardware? I fail to see who's going to want to buy those two from me. In fact, this thread is full of people saying the Amiibos are already out of stock.

If you really want to, though, I'd be more than glad to sell them to you for a higher price than the original. I don't buy things I don't believe will give me a return, so if you offered that'd help a lot.

Any other day of the week /v/tards would be shitting their pants over the latest Ubisoft, EA or Activision dlc. But whenever Nintendo does unfair DLC it's lauded with praise, and excuses as to why it isn't that bad.

Make up your minds already. Should other companies get a free pass for bullshit like this? You already pay $40 for the game, plus another $15 just for fucking hard mode.

Our bullshit hard modes aren't enough for you? Try FFF:ADV's Hell mode available as free DLC!
>Bungie
We carefully tailored 4 difficulties for all sorts of players. But we have a secret 5th difficulty as well. Find the hidden skulls and enable their limiters and take on the Mythic challenge!
>Masahiro Sakurai
Invest your in-game currency to raise the difficulty. If you lose, the difficulty will automatically decrease. Can you complete the game on the highest difficulty without dying?
>Nintendo (non-Sakurai)
That'll be $12.99 plus tip. Enjoy your pussy repellent.

The 3DS, 3DS XL, and 2DS all require the peripheral accessory in order to use any Amiibo products.

the N3DS, N3dsXL, and N2DSXL all have it built in though and do not need it.

I know it sucks they stopped making the Amiibo scanner add-on, but come on, get with the times, Gramps. Just trade in your old system for a New model and join us.

I sincerely hope this flops and Nintendo cancels Metroid Prime 4. You ungrateful fucks deserve nothing.

That you're lazy and want other people to do your work?
I'll try to find someone but I want 5% of the money made then.

welp, enjoy your mecurysteaming pile of shit

i knew nintendo would fuck this up, bringing those retards onboard should have been the first huge ass red flag but everyone was all MUH CODE MONKEYS so i gave it the old wait and see, but nope, ninty looks keen as fuck to dump some garbage all over metroid and it's fans, which they'll eat right up out of desperation only to get shafted anyway because anyone with some dignity isn't paying for a fucking difficulty mode

so when it doesn't absolutely top the charts, nintendo will blame the fanbase for their own errors and bury the series again without seeing what mistakes they made, all because some thirsty ass nintendo loyalists can't say no

shit like this >>385535223 is outright ridiculous man, there's no defending it from a rational point of view aside from saying dude they're a business lmao

fuck modern nintendo desu senpai

what T_D mean by this?

>>385535616
Yes, what we wanted was a shitty Metroid spinoff, followed by a remake that has features locked behind a paywall. Nintendo really knows what the fans want.

what a compelling argument

if it sells well, it'll be because of normies like you riding the bandwagon dick, not because it's actually resonating with people who like metroid

>>385535349
a majority of the posts in this thread are shitting on nintendo
most of the ones that are defending nintendo are coming from the same one or two people based on the timestamp differences

>The alternative doesn't involve fat fuck resellers rounding up all of the DLC codes and throwing them up on ebay for an insane inflated price.

I was under the impression that China sells entire DECKS of amiibo cards as they come out. Why don't people just buy mass produced packs of chinese amiibo cards or one of those re-programmable/flashable amiibo stands?

buying it? yeah, it looks like a lot of people are realizing there's no point in paying full price for an incomplete product
