Loving the corporate fanboy damage controlling posts.. keep them coming.
If you don't see what's wrong for Nintendo to lock behind a feature behind a paywall that's been included in games for free since forever then I don't know what to tell you
Since I'm too much of a fan of Metroid I'm still getting the game but I'm pissed off I'm missing out on the hard mode smh I ain't supporting this shit
Whay if the game is great though?Good. I don't want 2D Metroid in these conditions.
That works for 3DS, but what about when I play on the Switch? It won't exsctly helpJKSM is a 3ds homebrew app for backing up and restoring game saves.
That something as standard as hard mode should be included for free?Whats the difference between that and offering it only as paid DLC? Amiibos, especially these Metroid ones, are awesome.
Wait.
I only own a OG 3DS.
Fuck you Nintendo.
Gotta make more money on a franchise that already doesn't make much on its own it seems.
Now one would say "Do you want the Metroid series to die again?!" But since we know Metroid Prime 4 is in development it seems alright to vote with your wallet here.
Amiibo are solutions looking for a problem and they're 100% Nintendo's worst idea of recent years. Shit like this is just ridiculous.
Yeah, Nintendo ain't gonna see Samus Returns failing and think "better change our Amiibo strategy," they're going to see it and think "nobody wants 2D Metroid anymore."
Wait.

Fuck you Nintendo.
This. Shitty move to be sure but it's no wonder the franchise was in purgatory for so long if this is enough to turn off the fanbase.
Me too lol
It really sucks.
I understand the whole idea that it's ridiculous to boycott the game because of shit like this.
But at the same time, I can't support this kind of practice. I love Metroid, I'm glad to see it return, but this Amiibo shit is poison.
I don't support the move at all, at least if hard/fusion mode is dlc give people the option of paying $5-10 for it OR unlocking it with the amiibo
But if you've spent years crying for a new metroid and will now not buy this game because of an amiibo. A locked hard mode you likely wouldn't have played even if you could unlock it without amiibo/buy as dlc. If this is all it takes for metroid fans to "cancel their pre orders" then Metroid should have stayed dead and the fanbase deserves nothing but federation forces.
Except it doesnt seem alright. For one thing, I don't want this game to flop if its otherwise great. I want more 2d metroid, and this fails, nintendo will only see that it flopped due to lack of interest in the series.Gotta make more money on a franchise that already doesn't make much on its own it seems.

Didn't Nintendo do the same thing with Metroid Fusion and the using the suit in Prime 1?
I actually owned both games and still couldn't access the content, because I owned a GB player rather than a GBA.
What's the fusion mode?

Lol "you should be thankful".
Fuck no, they are not doing people a "favor".
Great, "You're not a true fan..." bullshit arguments. Gotta defend Nintendo, right?
Wait, this wont work with older 3ds models?
Whay if the game is great though?
Nintendo has the most rabid defense force.Holy fuck there really is a defense force for everything.
Yeah, I plan on buying it, but I want to try hard mode myself.Buy the game and not the amiibo, albeit your message will not be heard bc the amiibo will surely sell out entirely.
In Prime, it was just a Fusion suit, not an entire difficulty mode. I guess that's why there wasn't an outcry back then.Didn't Nintendo do the same thing with Metroid Fusion and the using the suit in Prime 1?

Vote with your wallet by boycotting amiibo, not by not buying the game. Not buying the game won't send the message abouy amiibos. It will tell nintendo you don't want more metroid. Is it that hard to understand?It's always ok to vote with your wallet. You should never let a corporation hold you hostage.

BOYCOTTING WON'T STOP AMIIBOS
I don't know how people don't get this or think boycotting will change the amiibo situation at all. All you are doing is helping to stop metroid.
I can't defend it at all. I can only.be depressed that this of all things could potentially kill off the series again before it even gets a chance to come back with people boycotting the game.
So you'd rather samus returns not have been made at all over it being made with a shitty physical dlc included? A francise that has had multiple underperforming games, that hasn't had a 2d entry in over a decade, that is being praised by early impressions for how great of a remake it is, but yeah fuck this game it deserves to bomb for physical dlc.
How many metroid games included a hard mode that changed up the mechanics of how the game played? How many Metroid games included a hard mode period? How many of those metroid games that had a hard mode did you actually replay on hard mode?
Not a good idea.
I only collect the Smash Amiibo anyway, not getting into this shit.
*Looks at posts up to this one*
Do you see people defending Nintendo in your head?
It gets only shittier when you realize the game is a 3DS game but only the New 3DS has NFC support. Goddammit Nintendo, why are you like this?
Whats the difference between that and offering it only as paid DLC? Amiibos, especially these Metroid ones, are awesome.
I hear you, hope Nintendo offers up a DLC for those who didnt/couldn't get the amiibo.Nintendo has the most rabid defense force.
Yeah, I plan on buying it, but I want to try hard mode myself.
In Prime, it was just a Fusion suit, not an entire difficulty mode. I guess that's why there wasn't an outcry back then.
How is it delusional? It's only delusional to think boycotting the game will send the message to nintendo that people don't want amiibos. It will tell nintendo people don't want more metroid.I'm amazed so many people are seeing fans not want to buy this game and, instead of getting mad at Nintendo making a product that consumers don't want to buy, they get mad at the consumers who don't want to buy a product.
That's some level of either delusion or corporate fanboyism I hadn't expected to see.
