How can anybody defend the Amiibo? 1 - 150



      GTMippey 1 day ago#1
      It used to be alright, when it was purely cosmetic content and little things locked behind Amiibo (Mario Kart costumes for the Mii racer, trainable fighters in Smash Bros) but now with Nintendo locking entire difficulty modes behind them, this is only going to get worse and worse unless people stop supporting it.
      Thank God for Jim!

      Because we don't know much about the one mode to begin with and everyone was always bitching that they never did anything. On top of the fact that they would still more likely be used beyond that game

      no amiibo has been officially discontinued


      so its more terms of scalpers fault for buying out item they have no intent on using just to sell it for 2~10x its price

      and what you pay for is a figurine to display the content is a bonus
      as most amiibo content is made so it works with more then one game only a handful of amiibo wont work with more then one game....

      just like asking why do people support nintendo when they are clearly not supplying demand then they cut off supply with stuff that still has demand like nes classic
      trolling
      apparently unpopular opinion if reported as trolling is trolling on gamefaqs

      Just buy amiibo powersaves for $25, and now you have access to every amiibo. Ever.

      Why buy them?

      amiibos

      Pick one.

      ---

      Amiibos are expensive and have awful production quality (seriously, happy meal quality). They're little more than disc-locked DLC tied to physical products of limited quality. I hope that your favorite games are stripped down to nothing and sold back to you at twice the price. Maybe later you'll realize how anti-consumer these things are when you try to replay your favorite games except they've got half their content removed and 90% of their codes are rotting in a landfill.
      Instead of getting offended you should instead become excited about having been afforded the opportunity to learn.
      Amiibo are awesome. I just got back into collecting them after a year and a half off.

      What's even worse is when Nintendo releases new amiibo of characters that already have amiibo, and the new amiibo serve different functions than the old ones.

      I agree with you. For people who don't want to pay money to clutter their lives with Happy Meal-esque statues in order to own the full game, Amiibos suck. The only positive I can see is it makes Nintendo easy money which they hopefully pour into developing passion projects that aren't guaranteed blockbusters.

      People really need to stop using the description "Happy Meals" secondly NFC has other benefits as well when you think about them as physical keys.

      Buying a house. Oh, shit. Forgot to buy the physical keys to the house. Guess i'm locked out of the second floor master bedroom. Oh, what's that? The locksmith moved away? Oh well, guess this house will be permanently stripped down.

      For one thing quality makes them better then Happy Meals. Secondly functionality of them also is a step up as you can do shit with them.

      On top of that if all NFC was utilized to have cards then you would have better means of DLC because of the fact that they all have multiple uses, they are not tied to just one account or system.

      exactly THIS! I have Smash Mario, I should be covered for everything Mario, character wise. Why do I have to get the 8-bit Mario for the special shroom in Mario Maker, or the Odyssey Mario for the tuxedo clothing in Odyssey? They're all the same character! It's so stupid! I doubt Odyssey Mario can unlock the special Mario Maker shroom either so you'll need two Mario amiibo just to access all of the locked Mario content for Mario... ridiculous.

      Miyamoto could praise Hitler and the Nintendo Defense Force would defend him. All the way up until Kimishima fires him, THEN they would turn on Miyamoto since he would no longer be a part of Nintendo by that point.

      No matter what Nintendo does, people will defend them.

      Wow, just read up on this.

      Just for the fusion stuff, they expect us to pay for a $30 2 pack? They locked it to an amiibo and threw it in a 2 pack with no single option (afaik). Just wow.

      And preorders were sold out long ago, meaning you're likely paying way more than $30.

      What a fucking shit show. If this is the direction Nintendo is heading in, then I don't know if I can support them anymore.

      lol at people saying this is anti-consumer while supporting Plus and Gold. It's the same thing: locking content from a game you buy, behind another paywall. Guess what? They're all bad practices yet gamers still support them.


      This is a fair point, though there is a key difference between Plus and Gold (and Nintendo's paid Switch online service) and amiibo; availability. Plus and Gold will always be available to anyone, as long as Sony and MS are supporting these services. Amiibo availability has been spotty, at best. 

      Based on past amiibo releases (and Nintendo in general), there's a good chance that people who actually want to buy the amiibo to unlock the content won't be able to find the damn things.

      Considering how often Baha baits people into arguments with disingenuous posts and bizarre (at best) logic, I don't think you can rule out the possibility that he is a troll, albeit a dedicated one.

      Man, 
      it's a conflict, 
      because obviously Nintendo deserves to fucking burn for Amiibo-locked content, 
      but at the same time, the new Metroid ones look real nice. The first waves of Smash Amiibos were terrible looking, but they're fairly worthy for extremely-low-end collectibles now.

      As others have also said, I like amiibo's for collectable purposes. 9 times out of 10 they lock only cosmetic features behind them. This one instance we get a difficulty mode locked behind one. Making people pay for a yearly subscription to access half or more of the content behind many games is much worse. Sony and Microsoft keep raising the price for their services without increasing the value of it. We don't know exactly what Nintendo's service will or won't provide, but we do know it's much cheaper. 

      As I said they are all a rip off, but to all amiibo's "a disease" doesn't apply to those who like to own collectables.

      Nintendo locking DLC to a stupid toy that I don't want is par for the course for them. They make some great games and for the first time in a long time, I like their newest hardware quite a lot, but they still make all sorts of dumb mistakes that they could rectify just by doing things like everybody else does. Being different for the sake of being different is dumb.

      I would even be fine with having to pay more to access Amiibo-locked DLC without the Amiibo as long as I could cut out the "Go look for a specific toy that you have to keep around your house" part of things and just buy it directly from the eShop.

      Amiibos are the worst. I wouldn't had problem with them if there was an optional way to obtain the on-disk locked content e.g. via dlc packs. Also since amiibos act like keys to content already in the game it'll be easy to make a dlc key as well which will work (or can easily be enabled) for multiple games.

      What's even worse is when Nintendo releases new amiibo of characters that already have amiibo, and the new amiibo serve different functions than the old ones.

      True both plus and gold locking multi-player behind a pay wall when you can do so for free on pc, are shitty practices. It all started with Gold and then Sony jumped in with Plus and the ps4 and now Nintendo is joining in with their own service. Anyways the thing is that these services are available to you readily. Like I can purchase them from the respective digital stores. I don't need to hunt down a fucking piece of plastic to do so. If amiibo content was available digitally then I wouldn't have had problems with them either.

      It's unbelievable how full of shit you are right now. When I took a trip to Japan, they had 2 entire stores full of figurines of all sizes for all types characters (bagged a Jack Frost and Crazy Diamond figurine), and they had amiibos there also. They were, without question, of much worse quality than the corresponding figurine sold elsewhere in the store. There was a Toon Link amiibo there, the Toon Link figurine looked a million times better. The Samus one was fantastic, and made the amiibo look like a cheap piece of shit. The only one that I would say was close would be Kirby, and that's because Kirby's such a simple design that it's borderline impossible to fuck up/make it look bad.

      Amiibo have always been a desperate cashgrab by Nintendo, that they employed to try and disguise their sparse game libraries.

      The only people who fell for it were the fanboys. Sadly, that's all Nintendo needs these days.

      No I didn't. That doesn't magically make amiibos look better though, they still pale in comparison to actual figurines. Even Nintendo World in New York City has better figurines like a Lucina one, and they probably are the most interested in selling amiibos than most other stores. Amiibos can look good, but saying that they're incredibly high quality figures is laughable.

        Amiibos are just as superfluous as hard mode itself.

        so collectibles that sell well are a bad thing? i have an original iron man from 1984 in the original box that sells for a ton right now and im waiting to sell in about 10 more years.

        Insisting someone is "dishonest" is his default go-to reply to anyone who critisizes anything about him. Apparently, replying with "you are dishonest" instantly absolves all criticism against someone and magically makes it not true anymore.



        Mmmm nope, because there is a difference between legit criticisms and petty insults. You fall under the ladder because again you claim to want an honest discussion yet fall back on insults more and more.

        I'd put you back on ignore but my only guess is you'd just throw a hissy fit over it.


        Lol Baha I can confirm myself that calling people dishonest or a troll is your go-to insult. You even called me dishonest when I was pointing out the fact that you were ignoring your own claims and denying what you said (about defending the bulky Splatoon 2 voice chat setup and other stuff) even though somebody already posted evidence of it. You then tried to say "you're taking it outta context!" and "my opinion can change". And even though you said your opinion and stance can change, the fact that you only said that since you were called out and the fact that you were ignoring my questions asking "what is stance on the topic".

        Becasue again they were taken out of context, the fact they were even posted did nothing more then just fuel trolling in a topic not even about Amiibos or the voice chat, but rather or not Walmrt was going to cancel the SNES Classic Preorders

        I was wrong. Baha has to be one of the most guilible people ever to be fooled and even enjoy Amiibos.

        Ahh yet another troll post

        How were they taken out of context when you clearly meant what you said? You were not having any subliminal or hidden context anywhere. You straight up defended the Splatoon 2 voice chat app and your only argument was "bulky headseats".

        And the reason why someone posted what they did was because they were proving another person wrong in saying that you have good and reasonable arguments

        Sure, it ignores criticisms and points you were making even though those points were proven to be completely wrong in the topics and then you changed your opinion on it later since people were calling you out. That makes you look like a coward Baha. Added on to the fact that you initially denied making those claims, then went to "lol you're taking it outta context" then you went to "lol my stance can change on it l8er".

        Yeah, those posts had nothing to do with the topic but they were far from trolling. They were criticizing you (aka calling you out on your previous bullshit). It's a fine difference between trolling and legit calling somebody (or criticizing I use those terms interchangeably) out.
        I wonder at what point Username2016 will realize that arguing with Baha or attempting to get him to concede or admit any fault or wrongdoing whatsoever is about as futile as arguing with a wall.

        Also, my crystal ball tells me that Baha will respond to this by calling me dishonest and a troll, and repeat what he has already been criticized over.

        No they were exactly posted for the purpose of trolling, if they were posted to criticize then that was really poorly done on Chemazan's part. 

        The fact again remains that there was no need to post those in a topic like that, it only served to troll that's about it. But of course in stead of calling out oplvy for his trolling you'd rather argue about older shit taken out of context and more recent shit that ignores the points I was even making.

        Chezman was showing how your arguments are bullshit and he even linked the thread and page numbers that showed your faulty arguments. How is showing evidence and supporting a claim trolling?

        Oplvy was showing how you didn't have a counter argument to Chemazan's post and was calling you out on how you were not accepting/taking evidence that was right in front of you. You're a coward Baha05, you constantly make excuses to fit your narrative of things.
        Username2016: Well, I did refute some of his points.

        Baha05: You never refuted anything!

        Most likely because I got busy for one thing and forgot the topic existed, and in either case they all still fit the same function to it's core. You can argue about the execution all you want the fact still remains that they share one thing in common with each other, and that is the overall interactive nature of the product, be it Amiibo, Skylanders, Disney Infinity, or Lego Dimensions. 

        To basically go digital on any of them does more harm then good at this point, hence why cards would be far better in the long run.

        I legit asked you multiple times to link me to an instance where your points changed but like the troll you are, you ignored me since you're allergic to evidence.

        You can prove Baha wrong easily. People do that around here all the time. You can also make him look quite foolish with minimal effort.

        One thing you'll never do however is get Baha to admit he is wrong. Claiming he is right and that you are a dishonest troll who is taking him out of context comes as naturally to Baha as defending literally everything Nintendo does.

        Baha = the biggest joke on these boards. And THAT'S saying something.

        Because Amiibos are optional and only offer small minor content keyword: small and minor content, I even used a synonym so you can understand better. Toys To Life figurines are literally meant to be required for the game whether you like it or not. However, the PC version of Disney Infinity allows you to buy characters digitally.

        The fact that someone thinks selling freaking cards is a better option for distributing content than true digital DLC is just mind boggling.

        Yet they still share the basic formula of content existing because the figures exist.Regardless of the size of what the product offers the fact remains is that these figures exists for the sake of the content, if you go digital you run into some issues at this point. 

        And Cybers example of a game utilizing NFC and Digital content isn't out yet, the pricing isn't even set. And i'm all for options but I think that when it comes to the older material and content you run into faults and problems that are better solved with NFC Cards versus trying to create digital NFC copies of figures.

        And justifying the app? Do you even know what my full stance on the app is? Or are you going to simply assume points made by other people and not from the person who knows their own opinion?

        Yes there is a clear digital market, that's been known. However there are issues that people take when it comes to content and pricing on those markets which is why I'd question any of the older NFC figures to be converted to a digital format. Because the question becomes how do you price out the content or how do you make the concept of an NFC figure still retail most of the values that exist in it's physical form?

        And justifying the app? Do you even know what my full stance on the app is? Or are you going to simply assume points made by other people and not from the person who knows their own opinion?


        Points made by other people?

        Those same people pulled up a thread about you saying/defending your opinion on it. But keep trolling Baha05 or should I say, Stone Deaf.

        Yes those points that want to ignore critical details about my stance or opinions on matters

        LOL @ Baha

        CyberAkumaZero totally just dunked on him by exposing him for the Stone Deaf troll that he is and all he can say is "you can't properly criticize". Are you kidding me? He just perfectly criticized Baha's trolling style in a single post. Cyber's criticisms are bang on.

        Baha is such a dishonest liar. He is taking everyone out of context now. What a troll!

        You do realize that there is a clear digital market right? Many people would just want the digital Amiibo content.


        Yes there is a clear digital market, that's been known. However there are issues that people take when it comes to content and pricing on those markets which is why I'd question any of the older NFC figures to be converted to a digital format. Because the question becomes how do you price out the content or how do you make the concept of an NFC figure still retail most of the values that exist in it's physical form?


        Yeah, that's the same question from the previous thread in which I already answered.

        And what was your answer again?
        "He may be Mr. Clean, but his soul will always be dirty!"
        In the case of Samus Returns, you don't need to make a freaking "digital NFC figure". You can just sell Fusion Mode as separate DLC. Easy peasy.

        I have never bought one, I have the Zelda TP and a animals crossing ones still in package as they were free and I'll never use them. They look cool but I can't bring myself to buy one.

        no amiibo has been officially discontinued


        so its more terms of scalpers fault for buying out item they have no intent on using just to sell it for 2~10x its price

        and what you pay for is a figurine to display the content is a bonus
        as most amiibo content is made so it works with more then one game only a handful of amiibo wont work with more then one game....

        just like asking why do people support nintendo when they are clearly not supplying demand then they cut off supply with stuff that still has demand like nes classic


        Has nothing to do with scalpers. Nintendo is putting basic stuff like a higher difficulty behind a dlc paywall.
        Less is more. Everything you want, isn't everything you need.
        1. Boards
        2. Nintendo Switch 
        3. How can anybody defend this Amiibo shit anymore?
