My issue is why not just make all the things you unlock via amiibo purchasable on the eshop? That way people who already have the amiibo get bonuses and those who don't and don't want to get one can still buy costumes, weapons, etc online anyway.
I agree. I've skipped the Fire Emblem amiibos just because I don't want the figures, just the content.

Hey TC, I think Amiibos are dumb as hell and would never spend hard earned money on these things. I could also care less about the little unlockables that they provide in Zelda or any other game. In fact whenever I see someone on Mario Kart with their fancy Amiibo helmets, instead of being jealous I just laugh that they wasted money on a stupid toy.

I'm thinking about dril's candle tweet except it's amiibos lol

I don't really mind amiibos.
What bothers me is that Nintendo won't restock them and so if I want them, I have to pay up to $70 online for a single amiibo, because it hasn't been in stock for four years or so.
It's very frustrating.

bait topic and it worked lol

the outfits doesn't really have that much gains compared to ingame things, Epona might be the outlier. if anything, the only game that forces amiibo is Chibi-Robo if only because if you don't have his amiibo then you lose out on the figure mode and a extra world. but in all honesty, the outrage behind Zip-Lash was just because it was seen as a cheap cash-in that was average at best, compare it to just about every Yoshi game that gets compared to Island. God forbid how Hey Pikmin would fare in comparison, since now since they mentioned that Arzest are the developers. who made Yoshi's New Island, Arzest descended from Artoon developers (Yoshi's Island DS, Universal Gravitation) kinda surprised they didn't farm it out to Nd Cube for some amiibo hike spinoff like Amiibo Festival or the newer Mario Parties.

The heck you complaining troll if you haven't owned Nintendo for so many years? Please complain about dlc while you are at it. This is basically a 1 time buy in for dlc for all of Nintendo's games. This is a better practice than dlc if you ask me.
Screaming troll is the worst way you could argue these scummy business practices.

It's like DLC but with a physical item. I don't like it either. I hate DLC of any kind. The ability to release patches and content updates is the worst thing about modern gaming to me. Most games all release with a ton of bugs and with much less content than in the past which is then released as DLC.

Again someone who doesn't understand the difference between a good purchase and a poor purchase. The switch and Zelda were totally worth it. A 20 dollar figurine for content locked in the game I ALREADY bought is not.

People should speak more with their wallets. If Nintendo and other gaming companies weren't making money off of these type of practices they wouldn't do it anymore. But consumers give in and here we are.

Just buy a Power Saves for Amiibo from Game Stop.
Takes a few seconds to change the amiibo on the power disk, but you have access to all amiibos, including the unreleased ones and their content, all for a fraction of the price you'd pay (plus way less storage space issues) if you actually bought all the Zelda amiibos.

...to pay for something again even though you already own...
But you don't own it. You made a purchase knowing full well the amount of content included. Now, you want more because you feel it 'should' have been included in the first place.
Ask yourself this. If the DLC never existed would you still feel satisfied with your purchase? If the answer is yes, then you're just feeling exploited (which is your own demon to face). If the answer is no, then your issue isn't with the DLC at all.
This person gets it.
When you buy a game, you don't own anything of it. You are buying a license to use it. That license says what you can, can't do with and to what content you have access.
Even if the Amiibo/DLC content is on the disc, it's not part of the license you bought, you get the license for that content when you buy the Amiibo/DLC.
^This all day.

I wouldn't call the things amiibo usually unlock "content."

Not entirely true. The cuts changed how the game flowed and DLC doesn't typically restructure a game and instead adds content on the side.

Kind of a weird mindset honestly. When I see people in Mario Kart with amiibo stuff, I don't really think anything. Seems kind of weird to laugh at them for buying something they wanted. Someone else could easily see you playing Mario Kart and laugh at you for wasting your time and money of dumb video games. Still just as pointless.

What generally happens: "Hey guys, you know what would be cool? Let's throw some extras into the game as bonuses for people who were nice enough to buy amiibos. Nothing spectacular, just some reskins, maybe ONE good item that isn't really NECESSARY, but helps out. Maybe stuff with a nostalgic feel? Lets code out a few more classic green outfits, something like that." What angry people think happens: "LOL, you know what would be hilarious? You see all these superfluous versions of green outfits we were OBVIOUSLY going to put as stuff found randomly in the game? Lets NOT do that, and instead lets make it so they ONLY get it if they bought amiibos!" Assuming bonus content was intended to be there all along, specifically COMPLETELY REDUNDANT AND SUPERFLUOUS BONUS CONTENT, is sad. I've seen "locked out, on-disc DLC". This isn't it. Fight the right battles. Don't create them in your head.

Darth, you're a poor troll. Refine your skills before you come at me. I suggest a less obvious approach.
I mean, only a developmentally disabled child would fail to see TC and my own's entire point is that nobody should be forced to buy dolls to acquire 100% of a games content. That content's details are irrelevant. A poor business model is a poor business model.
I guess its possible that you are a taxpaying adult who owns a s***load of said dolls, and are embarrassed and furious at being insulted about them, in which case your anger clouding your reading comprehension would be understandable.
I own precisely zero amiibos. I don't consider them worth their price, especially after scalper "tax". However, I don't go to online boards to whine about how it's so unfair to me and I should be given stuff for free because I have it so hard in life.
Who said it's unfair to me alone? I never said it was unfair at all, only a s***ty practice for obvious reasons. When did i say it should be free? You're obviously mad as f***, making up things and putting words in my mouth. The actions of a true idiot LMAO do you think you sound cool, jumping in conversations and WHINING LIKE A b**** about people voicing their opinions on an open message board?
When did i EVER say anything about how hard my life is? Are you seriously that deranged? Or just lonely? Lmao I'm done responding to you, I learned long ago its pointless trying to argue with people who ignore reality. Doll collecting is obviously a touchy subject around here, lmao
I was referring to TC, you dumbass.
You said it directly to me!! After quoting me and only me! Don't try to retcon the canon of this thread, Dumbass!

If it was just cosmetics, then I'd say "meh" and not care, but there's some REALLY nice exclusives locked up behind really obscure and now very expensive amiibos, such as the Twilight Bow, Wolf Link, and Epona.

+1 i sold botw after 2 weeks anyway but man thats just wack! And to the people bragging about how they can afford them, thats completely beside the point. You have to buy dolls. To unlock all the content. You have to buy dolls. Period. Case closed. Being a self sufficient adult makes it 10x as embarrassing.

Except for the Twilight Bow, how is it unfair for non-amiibo owners when everything amiibo owners get is identical or inferior to what's already in the game?
I agree with the TC. It's ridiculous that Epona is locked behind an amiibo. It's irrelevant whether you think the other content matches the locked ones. Epona is the best horse in the game and cannot be gotten without spending money on a toy. Epona is one of the most essential reoccurring "characters" in the Zelda series and it's locked behind an insane paywall.

There are horses as fast as Epona with more stamina. Hell, I just got a horse that's actually FASTER than Epona. Not to mention she's not really apart of the story in anyway. Don't worry, you're not really missing out if you don't have Epona.

Holy f***ing s***! You guys amaze the f*** out of me sometimes. When you b**** about having to pay more for DLCs, or amiibos, you're, literally, saying that the game itself wasn't worth the cost you paid. EVERYTHING that comes from a DLC or an amiibo, is EXTRA. It's added content. How is this so hard to understand?
I get it. "It's already in the game. Why do I need to pay more to get it?" Maybe because ITS f***ING EXTRA CONTENT! It doesn't matter if it's already in there, "locked behind a paywall". Do none of you, that are b****ing, understand the concept of Basic f***ing Business Practices 101 and How To Make A f***ing Profit So You Can CONTINUE To Deliver Cutting Edge Technology That People Want 104?
Seriously. When you complain about EXTRA CONTENT; you are saying that the game is not good enough. You're saying that the game is not worth the $60 price tag, that you paid for it. Ask yourself, honestly, "Would I have bought this game, and been happy with what I got, if there was no such thing as amiibos and DLCs?". If your answer is no; then your issue is with the game itself and you would probably not play it for hours on end, and your b****ing is completely moot. If your answer is; "Yes, I would definitely be more than happy with it because this game is f***ing awesome!", then you're only hindering your own gaming experience by jading yourself. If you need the s*** you get from the DLCs and amiibos to enjoy the game then maybe this isn't the game for you? Maybe try a different game that's more to your standards? Personally, I'd struggle to find something more enjoyable myself, but I, admittedly, am not a fan of other types of games. I can't relate to anyone else's Love of Call of Duty or Halo or any first person shooter games, or the Elder Scrolls series(although, that's probably primarily because the only RPGs I've played were FFVII, Mario RPG, and Kingdom Hearts. Also, I know the more current Elder Scrolls, like Skyrim, aren't the typical RPGs, I feel like I can't get into them without doing the games in order, and I just don't have the time or energy to sit through the completely lackluster graphics of games that I've never played. Games like Zelda and Tomb Raider, I grew up on. They evolved with me. Or, more accurately, I Evolved with them.) . I just can't get into them. I can, however, get into any and all Zelda games. Zelda and Tomb Raider are my go to's. Maybe I'm biased, but I spent $400 just to play the base BotW that you can get, before I got into amiibos or DLCs and I have no regrets about it. I GLADLY spent the $20 on the season pass, as well as all the money I spent on amiibos because they're EXTRA CONTENT for a game I already Loved. I could never even imagine complaining about not having that EXTRA CONTENT already installed in a game that I already Love without it.
Maybe, if you find yourself complaining about having to pay more money for DLCs or amiibos, just do yourself a favor and ignore their existence. As I mentioned before; If they didn't exist, you wouldn't get pissed off that you have to pay for them. Validation for my theory lies in the fact that they never existed for other Zelda games. The same games that all of you Love and cherish. The same games that the base BotW, without DLCs or amiibos, is arguably a vast improvement on.

Furthermore; the fact that some of you will, SO f***ING BELLIGERENTLY, complain about not getting the EXTRA content, also complain about the game being too easy(to the point where you create insane, yet commendable, Challenges to make it harder) boggles my mind even more! What the f*** do you want? You guys are doing the entire game with no armor, picking nothing up, but you're now complaining that you have to spend money to get some extra gear that you will ignore? Will NOTHING make you happy? Will you continue to complain regardless of what you get? Are you REALLY complaining about "corporations taking advantage of the little guy"? By protesting a product that you have absolute control over whether or not you buy it? These are the Real questions you need to ask yourself. And you Need to be open minded when answering them, for yourselves.

This rant is very likely stupid. It IS all EXTRA content. None of it came with the game. Hence, EXTRA content. If you truly find the game lacking without the EXTRA content, then; 1. You just don't like this game, which: To each, their own. And B. Why are you even on this Board if you don't like the game? Epona is an iconic Zelda character? How many games has she been in exactly? How many Zelda games have we had exactly? Epona adds absolutely nothing to the gameplay experience of Breath of the Wild. She was great in OoT and MM because she was the only horse you could get. Why, exactly, do you NEED Epona in BotW when there are countless other horses that you can obtain from the WILD(hence the name of the game)? Would it have been nice to find a horse in the game that looks like Epona? Sure, absolutely. It would have been a nice throwback for the players that started the franchise with Ocarina. But that wasn't the case. Before we found out she was unlockable with amiibos did you hate the game? Of course you didn't. Because there's hundreds of horses now, that you get to take your pick of, and you could name any one of them Epona if you so choose. The Epona you get from the amiibos isn't even comparably better than a lot of the horses you can get in game without buying EXTRA s***. I have 2 of her and yet I still choose the Big Horse or one of my other horses with better stats over her when I take one out of the stable. It's nice having Epona, because of the nostalgia aspect, but if she wasn't an option it wouldn't affect my enjoyment of the game, at all. You're really gonna use the lack of Epona in a game with comparable, innumerable horses as your defense, and tell me I'm arguing just for the sake of argument? Think about that for a second.
