Just finished the main campaign of Kirby and all of the DLC for the Witcher 3. Will be playing through the campaign as the staff guy to unlock the harder levels of the Ultimate Choice, where I'll probably get my butt kicked for a while.
As for my other consoles, I just found out that de Blob 2 is getting removed from the Xbox Game Pass program next month and I haven't used my trial for that yet, so likely that.
I don't like amiibo being physical DLC for 1 simple reason. It has nothing to do with the fact that it's DLC at all; if it was released digitally, I wouldn't care. My one problem is this: availability. The major headlines around amiibo for the past year and few months have been around popular amiibo going horrendously out of stock. Some argue that it's got better recently, though I think that's largely due to what is going to be the most popular amiibo line, the Smash series, being almost over. Almost all of the Smash amiibo have been out for a little while now, and significantly fewer people care about the Animal Crossing amiibo. Zelda amiibos are the best selling ones in N. America. Twilight Princess is the best selling Zelda (not lumping Ocarina and 3D together). This amiibo is going to sell out. I'm upset that there's a good chance that a lot of people who want it for the DLC as well as those who want it for the figure aren't going to be able to get it through no fault of their own. THAT'S what bothers me. I don't trust Nintendo to keep it satisfactorily stocked for everyone who wants it.
