BotW locked its only companion character behind an amiibo
Well they were talking costumes.
But I completely forgot about that feature - despite owning the appropriate Amiibo lol (it came free with TPHD)

Explain to me how Amiibo is superior to the DLC model of the Witcher 3.

Season pass way more expensive, not sure what you get, locks away more content, only works for that game, can't be traded or sold, stops working at some point.

I would rather we don't have DLC at all but alas here we are and if the choice is between amiibo and the other shit I pick amiibo.
And any other DLC for other games would never work on more than 1 game.I'd agree with this in theory if we hadn't seen that Amiibo DLC just doesn't work like you say here, but we have seen that. There are plenty of Amiibos that only work (decently) with one game and it's basically the same as season passes where you'll have no idea which Amiibo will work in future games or not.
I think the concept was a decent one if it really did work that way- one Amiibo purchase will work to unlock bonuses in dozens of future games. But it doesn't. If the Smash Samus Amiibo unlocked all the content in Samus Returns then people would be very happy with that- it means less Amiibo varieties, meaning more stock of the Amiibo people want, and more value per figure.
But they got way too greedy, and it just doesn't work that way.

You know Amiibo works like that right? Infact it's getting to a point where you need to buy more than one of the same character amiibo (because they're in a different pose) to unlock everything a game has to offer.
Your argument would work on that point if you could buy and use any Mario Amiibo in any Mario game to unlock that content. Infact I'd probably even buy one if I could in theory unlock all content in any Mario based game with that single purchase.

We should ask ourselves if the content locked behind the amiibo (or a digital DLC) would have been included for everyone if amiibo and DLC weren't possible. In BotW case it's hard to imagine Wolf Link in an amiibo-less world. And since no Metroid has ever hard a harder-than-Hard-Mode difficult setting, we can conclude than Fusion Mode was developed only because amiibo exist.
Also please remember we don't know what Fusion Mode. It might be a mere reskin. It might be a de-facto whole new game with a new map layout and exclusive enemies. So let's wait.
Not all Amiibos sell for DLC purposes. Not my thing but I hear they are collectibles. No one forces you to collect such amiibo.The overwhelming majority of amiibos do jack all for the games they weren't initially released for.

An art gallery.Whi h metroid amiibo specifically unlocks the fusion mode? Just the new ones? What do the smash samus amiibos unlock?

I have to conclude you're trolling because nobody is this far gone.
Only way I can access DLC for my games on Steam is to buy DLC on Steam.But you're only buying that content specifically for that game.
I bought the dlc for breath of the wild, I'm not going to complain that it doesn't work in the next Zelda game.
The fact is if you want certain dlc the ONLY way you can access it is to buy the plastic figurine. That makes the dlc more expensive for those who don't want the amiibo figure itself.
But then again the argument will be that you can sell the amiibo to make money back. But it's just all too much bullshit.
Why not just make any dlc available separately...That would just solve all these "issues". People who want a cosmetic item can pay a couple bucks, and people who want the figurine get that cosmetic item "free"

Nekketsu Kõha;245668536 said:No thanks. Some of us would rather have far superior in every way amiibo DLC model they use now than what the rest of AAA publishers are doing.
It's nice that there is at least a hard mode, but the problem is still the same. Holy shit at some of the defense force posts in here.

What DLC did you buy from example EA that worked on 3 games?

What is bullshit is people saying amiibo is worse than what others offer. I can understand if upset about amiibo being sold out or scalpers (don't run into that here.) But besides Nintendo failing to meet demand the product is far superior.

Why does Nintendo even need a PR division when this guy could run it all by himself?
The point in being "outraged" by it is to complain and make it heard that a portion of their market isn't going to buy into spending $15 on a toy for an extra mode, but is interested in having the extra mode under a more reasonable price/distribution model.
It's not "defense force" more like wtf? It seems the only real difference between free hard mode and amiibo hard mode is a different suit. And people really get upset about that? It's simply weird.
Nonetheless I think there will surely be another wave of Metroid amiibo in the near future.
Just watched the preview of the game on the gamexplain channel and they said fusion mode is an harder difficulty than hard mode. So yeah we're still getting fucked.

He's the Nintendo PR GAF deserves.
It's not an excuse. It's the only sane criterion we can use to discern anti-consumer DLC to honest extra content.This excuse could be made for any kind of on-disc DLC, but it doesn't make it better. And even in Metroid, art galleries existed before Amiibos.

I am addressing that poster who keeps bringing up the shadow of mordor outrage thread as 'proof' that nintendo fans are 'different'

You are right regarding art galleries by the way. On principle it's something we could blame Nintendo for. In practice I never cared about them and I still don't, I find them so useless locking them behind an amiibo cause no harm.
