It's not that crazy to believe that the content was created for the Amiibo.
A figurine that comes bundled with the game... for regular price and that will be widely available by itself.
I wish people would decide finally if they want amiibo to be more useful in a game or not. It's getting annoying, this constant back and forth.
Interesting. I wonder if it will try to use the Gamepad in a "special way" but I will be pretty surprised if so.
You don't want Amiibos, others do. As for the Amiibos locking content, do some research before you let your obvious bias against Amiibos get the better of you. The Twilight Princess HD Amiibo bundle is in plentiful stock (at least in North America), so I don't see the problem.
I'm gonna go out on a limb & guess that you don't live in North America.

Both of which were in Wind Waker HD. It's nice to have confirmation, but it's not a huge surprise.People are so focused on that dungeon thing, you all missed the most important news from that product description...
There's a Hero Mode. Unlocked from the start. Can switch between Hero / Normal at any time
Also touchscreen inventory, can switch at any time without interrupting gameplay.
I'll wait for official confirmation before believing this but if it is true - and it isn't something silly like a boss rush, it's Nintendo's jump the shark moment for me
I think its crazy to think that they wouldnt have added a new dungeon in their rerelease condisering they did that before (Zelda ALTTP or Link's Awakening DX)

If i had a Wii U this would honestly be enough for me to avoid the remaster like a plague.
If this is true and it's a significant location within the game, then this is bullshit and Nintendo deserve a significant backlash. But I'm sure there won't be, because Wii U owners seem quite happy with Amiibos.
mmmmh yep fuck that
whatever I'm not buying the game anyway but that's real shitty especially on such a trash port

Isn't it funny how the people who are not interested in the game/Wii U are the most outraged?

your point being ?

Who said it was a surprise? To be honest, MM3D didn't have a Hero Mode, so a confirmation is appreciated (just like you said). No idea why they didn't talk about that stuff in the Direct, though?
Just like the Link's Awakening DX Dungeon that only unlocked if you had a GameBoy Color?
Or the Oracle items that only unlocked if you had a GameBoy Advance?
Don't you think that you're over-reacting? Stuff like this has actually happened in Zelda titles before, and this is the cheapest variant.

Locking content such as a new dungeon behind a limited print figurine ? Definitely sounds shitty.
Especially for a 40 euros remaster of a Gamecube game.
Tantalus did a huge job on providing the special Gamepad support for their Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut port, so I would seem there would be a big chance they do something similar here.
Perhaps the TP:HD and Zelda U will use similar movement schemes?

Sure I would be okay with this, hence why I'm okay with Amiibos in Mario Maker.
And yes, I wasnt aware of the Amiibo being sold separately but it fix only one part of the problem: Its not limited. But its still to be bought. I'm biased toward bad practices. I dont mind Amiibos being used to store data and such or unlock content that you can unlock without it.
Because they're talking about it in the upcoming Direct!
Seriously, I wouldn't even be surprised if the new Direct comes this month.
On top of that, it can be unlocked with any of the Zelda linked amiibo.
Well its good that am getting a new dungeonLocking content such as a new dungeon behind a limited print figurine ? Definitely sounds shitty.

Isn't funny how people who are consumers are the biggest defenders of anti-consumer decisions?
I really don't see how I'm overreacting, especially when I'm not even expecting more than a boss rush mode (at the very most).
Also, the Colour dungeon was literally 10 minutes worth of content and the exclusive GBA ring for the Oracle titles was nothing more than a single icon - it had no effect, passive or on demand. And those were rewards for purchasing an entire system, not an amiibo.
that's not what the description says
the wolf unlocks the dungeon, the other zelda amiibos unlock gimmicky shit like recharging arrows
Isn't funny how people who are consumers are the biggest defenders of anti-consumer decisions?
If this is true, I don't like it at all, I hope the amiibo only eases the way to get into the dungeon, and can be unlocked by anyone who doesn't have the amiibo.
I was going to buy the Amiibo edition anyway, but this amiibo paywall is something I don't dig at all.
Giving extra value to another product is hardly anti-consumer
About the dungeon, expecting something like the Cave of Ordeals in Tri Force Heroes, nothing more. Aka: it's ok if you don't play it.
They're locking on-disc content behind a plastic paywall and monetizing it.
And some Nintendo fans rejoice this decision and call it "hardly anti-consumer."
twilight princess has an actual cave of ordeals.
People who buy Amiibos and want them to have more use/content are consumers too, just saying.Isn't funny how people who are consumers are the biggest defenders of anti-consumer decisions?
They're creating extra content for consumers who buy more of their products. It is not likely that this content would exist if amiibo did not.
That's not anti-consumer. You're looking at it backwards.

See: Hyrule Warriors, iirc all Zelda series unlock weapons.
Just like the Link's Awakening DX Dungeon that only unlocked if you had a GameBoy Color?

so horse armor is cool then
Eh, horse armor is mocked and hated because it is useless and overpriced. You might argue the overprice aspect, but this certainly isn't useless, or otherwise why are you even upset?so horse armor is cool then
