retroed Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Managed to hold off when Nintendo store had them the other day, for £12.99. I did get a pre-order in for the Legacy Edition of Metroid: Samus Returns, though. September's expensive for Nintendo things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manicm Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 Just pre-ordered the zelda botw champions Amiibo from Game, £69.99, £17.50 per Amiibo not great, but I might miss Nintendo’s offering, so have a pre-order in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 More popular than ever, definitely here to stay Got a pre-order in at ShopTo for the Mario Odyssey Wedding amiibo set, will probably try and get one in at Amazon/ShopTo for the Zelda Champions at some point but I'm not as fussed about those as the Odyssey amiibo.

Manicm Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 I’ve pre-ordered the mario ones separately as it’s a couple of quid cheaper from the Nintendo shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 What do they do that justifies being more expensive than normal amiibo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manicm Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 Game tend to mark up, I paid £14.99 before my game points for samus, while Nintendo charge about £12.99 Im hoping to get a Nintendo pre-order but if not at least I’ve got a pre-order in, disappointing that Nintendo released these as a 4 as I’m not too bothered about one of the amiibo.

Manicm Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 Nag, your right I hate nothing more than dlc and micro transactions, my amiibo are more collections, I didn’t use them in zelda botw as they are boxed up still, I like the collector side of it. I have used a few in the wii u game which unlocks micro games like one level of mario world or a level of Kirby, I think that’s great and hoped the switch would get it as well at some point.

HandsomeDead Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 @Nag I don't know where you get the idea that Amiibo that lock bits of content behind them don't come under scrutiny because they always do. Big ones I remember is the original Splatoon, Shovel Knight's co-op mode and even as recent as the Metroid extra hard mode. Unless you just wanted a whine about something.

DANGERMAN Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 @Nagis right to a point tbf, Nintendo have increasingly locked decent content away behind amiibo. How much of it is cynical and how much of it is them being naive or inept I'm not sure. They do get criticised for it, probably not enough And I'd also say it's fair to point out that I didn't get negged for having a go at Fortnite and no one got negged for having a pop at Player Unknown. No one (me) got told to stop complaining about it either even though there's people who like those games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much of it is cynical and how much of it is them being naive or inept I'm not sure. They do get criticised for it, probably not enough I dunno, I think for the most part the criticisms are taken on board (apart from Metroid, I dunno who makes these decisions) because I think they made the co-op mode in Shovel Knight available to everyone after the backlash and in Splatoon 2 the Amiibo unlock less content than the original. But this idea that Nintendo don't get criticised by us just isn't true. I mean I am bothered that about the extra hard mode being locked behind an Amiibo (more because it's locked behind the Amiibo I don't want as I would totally buy that Samus one) but I guess I didn't voice it because I don't care that much. It just gets a bit odd when Nag (or anyone) comes in with criticisms of things they have no stakes in. I'd expect criticisms of Nintendo to come from people who at least own something from them or have an interest. If you don't it's just gonna rile those that do and not much else, but I guess that's what forums and social media are for so moaning and negging is gonna happen ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Personally, I'm very rarely in that Microsoft thread. I don't even know what they're up to even to have an opinion. I'm not saying how people should comment, just pointing out why some may react in certain ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 @mr lakitu. give it a rest, pulling a bunch of posts from years ago, for some some confusing point, isn't a great look If you're going to continue arguing at least do it like DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully you see this and don't actually leave, but the difference is that your response was only going to antogonnise things.
