My interest in the game has plummeted. Tying dlc to plastic trash is awful.

NBA 2K18 will support amiibo on Switch

Yeah. The way 2K handles preorder bonuses and VC alone makes this just kind of disgusting. I really doubt many ppl on switch will buy this but this is transparent nickel and diming on 2K end. Since I don't know what the amiibos will grant, I'll keep myself neutral but I'm expecting the worst since 2K has never given a reason to think anything optimistic when it comes to microtransactions
Damn, Bowser a 🐍

Not a fan of this to be honest. Hopefully it's nonthing substantial.

Dude, what DLC. We don't even know what it is. You're gonna lose it if you can wear a Mario cap if you have his amiibo?!
There is criticism and then there is this.

Why? Don't you want to play with the Greek Freak wearing a Captain Falcon helmet?

I would imagine base content will be on par with other versions but with extra amiibo perks.

2K nickel and diming? It's probably just going to be some Nintendo costumes lol. And unless 2K made their own amiibo, they wouldn't see any money from Nintendo's toy sales.
About to start.....???? Damn if what they have been doing so far with micro transaction is just the beta phase...Im scared to see what is next

In for Javale McGee amiibo.
I built my 2k17 franchise around him.

Space Jam Amiibos please.
My interest in the game has raised. I'm gonna enjoy using my amiibo for the random stuff that I can get. DLC on stuff I already own due to collection is pretty nifty.

If I use the Samus amiibo, does the basketball become the morphball? :O
That would be nice too, def if you have a lot of amiibos you can load up on VC daily

Let's hope so! A Kirby ball would also be sweet.

Probably gives you like 10 VC coins a day per swipe or something.
People are really overreacting. If it turns out that you get a Mario cap or Link tunic, were you really planning to buy 2k18 on the Switch because of these outfits when it was first announced in January?
The talk of DLC being locked away by amiibo is ridiculous, y'all pretend third parties actually make an effort on Nintendo platforms. Don't delude yourselves guys. The best possible scenario would be putting your MyPlayer on the amiibo to play on a friend's console. But it'll end up being some tacky crap no one who cares about NBA 2k18 would be interested to begin with.

I'd take a special themed basketball court for a Nintendo character.

So it looks like the Switch version is the best version after all.

It's good to see third party devs using it.

I didn't even think of that, but I bet that's a real possibility for what the amiibo will do. I don't even know if NBA2K's engine would support non-standard player models, so getting characters like NBA Street Vol. 3 doesn't seem likely IMHO.
How cool would it be if you could put a can of black spray paint on your Switch and Lebron would get a fresh tape in game??

I just want to see what the game looks like
This is a seriously money idea. Imagine if, say, FIFA Ultimate Team was tied to physical amiibo cards. Taking profit maximization to new heights.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck that would be cool.

It's pretty cool that they'll be supporting Amiibo at all, just costumes or not.
I think their addition also bodes well for the quality of the game itself. If they went the extra mile to add this, I have hope the rest of the experience will hold up well vs the other versions.
I'm weridly hyped for the DF analysis vids for all these cross platform titles.

A Kevin Durant Amiibo is the only way Jawmuncher will see Snake in Smash.

If Nintendo released WWE amiibo, my wallet would be destroyed.

Probably just lets you store formations/tactics/teams/settings to take to a friend's house?
