@XCWarrior I think the people are angry because we finally get an Animal Crossing game on the WiiU, only to hear it's a game with nothing more than amiibo mini-games. This isn't what the fans wanted, Ditto for Metroid and Zelda.
The thing is, Nintendo should know darn well what the fans want to play by now, and what they've been asking about for years! And when Nintendo still (!) can't deliver on that (especially since the competion actually does give what the fans want AND more), than people have a right to be angry!!!
Future looks bleak for Nintendo. I am very curious what the investors have to say about this fiasco! i think Nintendo CEO's have a lot to worry about the coming months!
These days, Nintendo is like the clingy ex-wife, who desperately keeps trying to seduce you even after turning her down time and again! You can't help but feeling sorry for her, especially because of the history between the both of you...But thank god there are 2 hotter ones begging for your attention!
the 'Nothing for me'-option is missing... the last few months been so utterly dissapointing. What is Nintendo thinking these days... there better be some extra suprise-E3 releases this week!!!
Of course, now you have to buy a 'Paper Mario'-amiibo to unlock the paper, and a 'Scribblenauts'-amiibo to unlock the pencils...
Hurry and get them while supply last !!!... aaaaand they're sold out...
I'm not even buying Splatoon because of the locked on-disc content behind these amiibo. When i buy a game (any game), i want the option to at least be able to get the full game, without parts of the game being behind a paywall in the form of (very expensive!!!) toys. No way am i paying 3 x 15 euro's for these little figurines just to unlock a bunch of costumes and challenges, which easily could be sold as day1-DLC (an equally dispicable sales tactic, but at least everyone has the option of paying for the in-game content they want, instead of being forced to buy the dlc AND the expensive toys to get the complete game).
What makes it worse is the fact that the amiibo are sold out everywhere just a WEEK (or a few days?) after release...!
What makes it even worse (for me at least) is Nintendo's reaction: 'oh but it is fun to hunt for hard/impossible-to-find amiibo'. Does ANYONE here enjoy the hours browsing the internet or travelling around town to find the amiibo you want, and paying at least 3 times what the toys are worth? I sure don't!
Nintendo has lost much respect from me these days...
Capcom is releasing Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition HD next month on PS4/X1, with updated 1080/60fps graphics and tons of new game modes & extras. Really looking forward to that one!!!
We all know Nintendo isn't the company it once was 30 (or even 10) years ago. It likely never will be again. But do we really need a website filled with clickbait articles like these? Surely you guys can find some more newsworthy stuff to talk about, right???...right?!?
Unity on 3DS? Unity on the Vita brought us PlaystationMobile...!!! (oh, the horror!!!)
So, expect a whole bunch of cheap, crappy 'games' made in a day or 2 by people who believe anyone can be a developer...
Nothing to look forward to!!!
@MadAdam81
Uhm... There IS content locked! You need the amiibo's to unlock costumes, and gamemodes (like in Captain Toad); stuff you can't acces unless you buy these plastic toys.
Sure, they sell like crazy; mostly because the supply doesn't meet the demand. This promotes the ridiculous selling prices on ebay.
But whatever... i think the amiibo fad is a failed project, especially when compared to Skylanders, Infinity and Dimensions. But that's just my opinion.
@TheSonicdude97 Oh please, all amiibo provides are some outfits for your characters and other small things like this (which easily could have been done with free/cheap DLC). You can't even 'bring the toys to life' in a (hub)game, unlike Skylanders; Infinity and now Dimensions.
Therefore, yeah.... VERY stupid and pointless!
Yep, even Lego is doing the toy-to-live stuff better than Nintendo. It just shows how stupid and pointless Amiibo really is!!! I'm actually looking forward to this !!!

Re: Poll: Is Splatoon a Blockbuster That'll Help Revive the Wii U?
Let's face it, the WiiU is (unofficially) dead. No game can 'revive' the console at this point. Sad truth...

Sure, it'll sell okay. But at this point nothing can revive the WiiU anymore...
