The irony of River City's price being a ransom is not lost on me. The game is, at the very least, ten quid too much.

Seppuku time?

Winter 2012! Can't wait!

Thank you!

A Monster Hunter game I want to play!

Where's the price info?

@kirbygirl While I've often thought about upgrading, classic SNES games is the first time I have a good reason to do so. DAMN YOU NINTENDO!

I have some extra cash lying around because I pulled a 90€ card at a Friday Night Magic draft. But I need that Unlimited Taiga. Gah!

And all I need to do is buy a new system. Thanks for nothing Nintendo!

@kirbygirl I don't have a New Nintendo 3DS

@kirbygirl

@kirbygirl Who, what, where? When? HOW?

You know what would be even better than that SNES model 3DS?

SNES GAMES ON THE 3DS.

Why wont Nintendo release GBA games on the 3DS?! I want to play handheld games on my handheld, not a console (exacerbated by the fact I don't own a WiiU)!! Would love an Advance Wars game...seeing as they're making us wait for Fates.

Looks cool! And not an Amiibo in sight.

@kenrulei Enjoy!

Why'd you hide things behind Amiibos, Nintendo? Such bullhang.

The closer to the end of Bravely Default I got, the less I liked it. Such a trudge! I will have to go back to it at some point, but It's all about Fates right now.

Not that I approve of amiibo exclusive content!

Probably end up with all three at some point.

Hopefully the story will be a bit better than the first game's; it was a complete mess! A good story would have helped distract from the repetitive gameplay.

I got the original on sale at just under £10, and it wasn't worth any more than that. I would need a very compelling reason to pay more than that for a sequel. I will probably pick it up, but it'll have to be CHEAP.

Sweet Fanny Adams.

If I can buy them individually in Europe at some point, I'm in.

The scene seems incredibly daft whether it's homophobic or not - the game wont lose anything from its removal.

I don't need an argument. I only wished to state that I wanted no part in Nintendo's grand amiibo scheme, which is entirely geared towards fleecing hapless sorts like yourself.

Good day sir.

@JaxonH I apologise for the swears.

(Thou shall not swear and cause conflict~Undead)

@ga3tr0n Calm down, ga3tr0n!

Sorry to cuss, but you're one hell of an annoying guy, @JaxonH

@faint I guess so. Although unless there is a way to get the full game without having to buy a figure I don't want, I will just do without.

@JaxonH

"I think you may want to re-evaluate your stance, otherwise you won't have any games left to play."
Simply not true. In my collection only Code Name: S.T.E.A.M has overt amiibo support. It is only being added to Shovel Knight now. I will continue to buy games as long as there are games that I want to play.

"Ya, Nintendo creates extra content and sells it via amiibo. Sure. And every other developed out there from A to Z created extra content and sells to preorder customers, specific retailer customers, or just chops off ⅓ of the game and sells as an expansion pass for $30-40."
Nope. I don't think that is a true statement.

"You can't escape it- you can't avoid it."
So I have to buy the games? Surely I could simply just...not buy them?

"At least with Nintendo the content is actually EXTRA and offers reasonable value in a $13 amiibo."
I'm a 34-year-old father of two small boys - all the toys in the house belong to them (except the 3DS, 360 and the Wii). I don't want an amiibo. Better DLC (I did buy the GP/EXP DLC for FE Awakening, as I just don't have time to grind) than a figure that holds absolutely no interest.

"You're getting angry over Nintendo selling extra content (the nerve, right?). Seems a bit silly to me- shouldn't matter if you pay $5 on the eShop 3 times for 3 games or pay $13 for an amiibo that works with 10-15 games. The only difference is the means of purchase."
It only seems silly to you because you're a plonker...really, taking umbrage at someone having a different point of view? I smell fanboy.

@Zombo Cool figure? Dude, I'm 34. If it was sold in its entirety either in a physical copy or as a download, I'd get it. I just don't personally want to support Nintendo in their pursuit of amiibo-related revenue. Don't be sad that my opinion is different from yours.

@Xenocity Maybe I will. Since becoming a father, gaming has lost its appeal a bit, as I don't have the time to sit down and "waste" a few hours; my gaming is done on the 3DS, whilst pretending to have constipation in the bog.

Between being in a band, writing a book and MTG I've got enough hobbies as it is.

Thank you for your suggestions: even though they are fairly obvious ones that I had already obviously considered, it was nice to think that you wanted to take time out of your day to advise me, oh wise one.

Shame.

I'll not be buying an amiibo to unlock extra features and I certainly wont be buying any new Nintendo consoles while this utter nonsense continues.

DLC should be reserved for extras, not an entire bloody dungeon.

If there was a way for people to get amiibo content after a certain timeframe, I would be ok with that...but I have neither the space nor the money to waste on these blasted models.

(Thou shall not swear~undead)

If they can only make it play like Sonic 2, 3 and Sonic & Knuckles.

No. It wont be terrible, but I don't see anything stellar happening.

They will continue to release virtual console games that should be on the 3DS on the WiiU and more games will have amiibo exclusive functions.

There are some great games coming, so it's not all doom and gloom, I suppose.

(Thou shall not swear~undead)

What do I think? I think it's bullshit. It's frustrating that to unlock features of games we have paid for we have to buy a piece of shitty plastic.

Nintendo saying "Crappy New Year", right?

Shining Force 2 is the best Fire Emblem game ever made.

Heist. Shin Megami I picked up in the last sale...I'm waiting for the others to go on sale!!!

The full price is fair - the deal is great news!

I'm not buying a f%$(*&g amiibo in order to get the full experience.

This is really shady of Nintendo.

@Grumblevolcano So how do I download the amiibos for free? Oh wait...

As long as I don't need a f!&*%$g amiibo to get that extra content, I'm in. Otherwise Ninty can SMD.

I feel that all this amiibo stuff is utter balls (no pun intended) - I don't want to have to buy crappy plastic toys to get more out of games I'm paying money for.

Not liking how the scenery pops up...incredibly jarring.

You do realise that, to a British reader at least, the headline is false advertising, right?

If I had any spare cash I'd be disappointed by the (further) lack of 3DS goodness.

He fluffed it at the finishing line. 8/10.

@6ch6ris6 Looks better than the parent series though!

Wasn't it Mario's birthday this week? Where's the deals man?!!!

This smells! I have no intention of buying an Amiibo just to unlock extra content, which means I probably shan't buy the game, cool as it looks.
