@Yellowkoopa Splatoon was never meant to be into just single player kinda like how Smash is never meant to be played for single players only.

If you are ranting splatoon didn't justify you for 60$ for single player, you're missing the point of Splatoon. I don't have a Wii U but if I did, I don't think I'd get Splatoon or Smash because they aren't meant to be played Single Player. Same goes for Mario Kart 8, Super Mario Maker and Mario Party 10.

As for the difference, yeah. Even if the maps are sold separately, the fact that you know how "overpriced" the dlc is makes me say that you're just better off getting a figure that can have a discount unlike DLC.

@Yellowkoopa by that logic, then getting additional content for additional price is also bad since all the content should be there at the start of the game. Its bad for developers to not get additional cash for fair reasons because the content they provided you doesn't do enough justice for that.

All I hear is "Waah! Waah! I can't get those costumes and those goodies out there because I gotta get the Amiibo!" And just keep ranting about that.

Do you realize that DLC has never been discounted unlike figures? That's the whole benefit of physical copies. So the Amiibo that you want is too expensive, you can get them at a cheap price. so if you get 20 like maps on Splatoon, and if its 20 $, guess what? Buy a used figure and its cheaper since you're complaining that the games are overpriced, then buy a used copy. No one's stopping you unless you yourself want to.

Its this reason why I feel people just can't use their damn brains here. Either get a used copy for a cheap price or get the game at full price.

Speaking of which, this is why I feel that unless Digital stores emulate the benefits of physical stores, physical copies will stay forever.

@Yellowkoopa I sort of get where you're coming from, but I don't think your complain is rational. The way I see it they decided to make Splatoon amiibo and therefore created extra content, not the other way around. And I think that goes for most games with amiibo support. Because they want to create this collectable toys they decide to implement some features that wouldn't have been included otherwise. Therefore I think Amiibo is fair.

Awhile ago you were complaining about the same thing about AAA third parties when you were ranting about mortal kombat, halo and uncharted microtransactions. In those games, the dlcs were also only mainly cosmetic and doesnt affect gameplay at all. Hypocrite is hypocrite

@diwdiws Umm....those games do affect the hindrance of gameplay because they put microtransactions on the actual games when they aren't suppose to after you purchased a game. There's a difference between one time pay and pay again to use.

DLC on the other hand is one time pay. Will you seriously buy microtransactions for performing combats in Mortal Kombat? No.

@Socar do what!? Its a shortcut for fatalities!! How does that affect you in anyway if you dont want to buy it. If someone is willingbto pay for it, what do you care? Does it affect the how you play the game? Did it make the game suddenly pay to win? Its basically cosmetic. Same with halo and uncharted, most microtransactions are cosmetic only. It does not affect any single or multiplayer mechanic, so again why do you care?

@diwdiws Of course it does! If I find it hard to perform the fatality, I should be able to do it the simple way. Most fatalities are hard to do and so you are forced to use microtransactions.

And really, quit defending here and quit saying that I'm a hypocrite. I've played lots of third party games that really ruin the core experience of the games like dead space 3 for instance.

can you hear yourself? you think you are forced to buy fatalities just because they are hard? how absurd is that? fatalitieshave always been hard to do. if you want to be able to do it either practice or pay? how does that deprive you of choice? plus again its merely cosmetic? fatalities are merely flashy finishers. it doesnt affect the fight itself which is the main point of the game.

Played dead space 3, the microtransactions for weapons didnt bother me, played thru the single player without a problem.

for a person who keeps saying that people are nitpicking on Nintendo it seems your a nitpicker yourself. and yes that makes you a hypocrite

@diwdiws That may not have bothered you but it did to me.

Anyways, there's a difference between microtransactions and amiibo. Once you get the amiibo, you can get the content anytime you want without paying again. Not so for the former.

In game items shouldn't be hindered with microtransactions after you pay like 60$ for it. Amiibo isn't anywhere close to microtransactions nor does it look like Nintendo will ever do any microtransactions that bad.

@Socar Nintendo did devils third microtransactions which was worse than those you mentioned before

@diwdiws Yeah....you're picking a Nintendo game that is first of all not even a finished game. I honestly don't know why Nintendo even published that title. Its a complete waste of time and money.

My only stance for that title would be that Nintendo wanted to bring the hardcore audience back....but it still didn't work out right.

Go find me a list of Nintendo games that are finished games, are on dedicated Nintendo consoles and should have microtransactions instead of having locked content via Amiibo. Then I'll admit defeat.

So far, there's none and no, there's a big difference between DLC and Microtransactions so get that fact straight.

@Socar Why are you brushing Devil's Third aside because it's 'unfinished'?

It's published by Nintendo, on a Nintendo console.

It has microtransactions.

Regardless of whether it was finished or not, that's how it was released, and personally I'd find the inclusion of microtransactions in a game that wasn't even finished to be worse than if they were included in a finished game.

Devils Third is nowhere near as broken as people who haven't played it like to claim.

@jump i wasnt implying that it was broken. Im just saying that i has worse microtransactions than Artwarks examples.

@Socar it was not finished? What kind of cop out is that? They sold it at retail, they published it, It was a finished (albiet unpolished) game! It had microtransactions that gave you advantages in multiplayer. How is that not worse than just paying for fatality shortcut?

@GrizzlyArctos @diwdiws Look.....by finished, i mean its not a properly functional game, something like Sonic Boom.

Yeah ok it has microtransactions but the fact that the game didn't even do well makes me wonder "why should this game even be mentioned?" Like I said, I seriously wonder why Nintendo even wanted to make this game to reality......

It is fully functional, people's complaints are about the game are it's inconsistent frame drops and resolution on a technical standpoint, it's not a glitchy mess. There are also complaints about it being out dated compared today's standard of action games but that has nothing to do with it being broken.

@DarthNocturnal yep, you summed it up perfectly. hahaha

@Socar so just because a game didn't sell well it suddenly dont exist anymore? its still there, Nintendo still profits from those microtransactions. they are just like all those developers/publishers that you constantly bash and nitpick. no one's a saint here.

@diwdiws Fine, you win since you want some sense to be made on me.

But even so, its only ONE game......and its not been repeating again.

A new unpopular opinion that has randomly come to mind:

As excited as I am for the NX, I don't think I'd actually be that bothered if Nintendo went third party, as long as they could still find ways to innovate and stay relevant with their software. Actually, ideally, I'd love to see them team up with Sony, but I doubt that'd ever happen (again)...
