Can we take a moment to appreciate this champion of gaming and Nintendo as a whole for continuing to value pure gameplay over loot boxes?

sure, let's

*buys fifteen amiibos*

Nintendo is so far in the past with industry practices and standards that they are currently at a point where DLC and other extra content was both consumer friendly and an actual fun addition to the base game.

Did Miyamoto really make Kid Icarus? It seems so non-miyamotoesc.

nintendo's always 1 step behind with scummy practices, if lootboxes become the norm they'll get there eventually. there's no good guys or bad in this situation, as consumers we're all getting buttfucked here. i think it's time to focus on the hugeass backlog we've all been building up

He didn't
It was Yokoi's team
Shiggy's the Stan Lee of video games
He did a lot of shit (which should be respected) but he didn't do all the shit contrary to popular belief

fuck off

Nintendo should've forced him into retirement around 2004 or 2005.

>It was Yokoi's team
Ah, that makes sense.

I think you're forgetting/ignoring the 10-15 dollar Mcdonald's toys they lock certain in-game items behind. For example, if you want Link to actually look like Link in BotW, you have to track down, and then pay 15 bucks for a Link Amiibo.

Or a few bucks on NFC tags if you're a pirate.

pit should be replaced with fox

Who should replace Ice Climbers?
Muddy Mole?
Wii Fit Trainer?

Just ask a friend if you don't want to pay. Link amiibos are fucking everywhere

This part is hilarious to me. Granted I love their stance on their mobile games. "We're jewing you out of money here to go make actual games on our consoles. Thanks"

if you want link to look like link all you have to do is dye green the cold weather tunic the old man gives you

the mental gymnastics ninteniggers do to justify their sudden corruption by DLC and Amiibos is amazing.

yeah.. thats why they sell idiots like you extra difficulty in botw right? cause they are soo consumer friendly.

Always. Hope they keep their core game design tenets even after the old guard fades out.

>thats why they sell idiots like you extra difficulty in botw right?
Except they didn't.

80 bucks total for 240 hours and counting? I'd say worth it.

There's literally an earnable classic tunic in-game. Next you'll tell me it's too much effort to get it.

>implying amiibos are any worse than lootboxes
ffs

Amiibo are honestly the best way to do DLC

>Can buy outfits in Odyssey
Nintendo is always late to what everyone else is doing with the Internet and online. Loot boxes are coming.

Amiibos aren't worse than lootboxes but they are physically bound DLC which is worse than regular DLC if you don't want to fill your room with plastic crap.

>A little neat trinket display piece that unlocks little bits of arbitrary things across many games
Haven't bought a single one, but it does seem like the lesser of the evils as things currently stand.

I LOVE reddit.

>which is worse than regular DLC
Nah, one payment to use across what's probably a good 50+ games now that you can share with your friends so they can unlock it for free?
It's basically the best form of DLC.

you do realize that for like 20 bucks you can get every single amiibo unlock for every game until .the end of eternity, right?

I'm hoooooooooooping Nintendo took notes from the Witcher 3 expansions for doing game DLC. What they're doing for BotW and Xenoblade 2 will hopefully follow that train of thought.

>I'm hoooooooooooping Nintendo took notes from the Witcher 3 expansions for doing game DLC
Rehash the same story, areas, gameplay etc and charge a ton for it?

Why is Blood and Wine the example for DLC? Brood War was doing this way before.

Fine by me if I get the same degree of enjoyment out of it. Better than the alternatives.

Because it's the only RECENT example. Heck I'd take a Hearts of Stone level one.

>he doesn't know about NFC stickers

Lets be honest, no one who complains about Amiibo scarcity cares about the content as much as they do the actual figures.

>dicksucking nintendo, the biggest jews of gaming industry

I could think of at least five more jewish companies.

My amiibi is doing nothing special. I got a Zelda guardian and gave me a shitty weapon with three metal boxes or three rupees. And in Odyssey it gave me A FUCKING MOON. It just look nice.

If you don't want to fill your room with plastic crap you just get the cards or flat out just get the NFC tags.

I love that Nintendo do not give a fuck about industry trends and continue to do their own thing.

They're a great spice to have in this industry and it would have went stagnant long ago without them. Only the most clueless, uneducated and downright salty children on this board can't appreciate them.

Nintendo is basically the last champion of gaming left
