Difficulty modes should be a natural part of the game's package. Not something you leave out so you can charge extra for it.
I mean a developer can choose what is DLC versus not, and Nintendo has already done this with Zelda.

There are a million great games out there, and this is only a remake.
Whats the difference between that and offering it only as paid DLC? Amiibos, especially these Metroid ones, are awesome.
Good. I don't want 2D Metroid in these conditions.
Lol "you should be thankful".
Fuck no, they are not doing people a "favor".
I'm amazed so many people are seeing fans not want to buy this game and, instead of getting mad at Nintendo making a product that consumers don't want to buy, they get mad at the consumers who don't want to buy a product.
That's some level of either delusion or corporate fanboyism I hadn't expected to see.
Vote with your wallet by boycotting amiibo, not by not buying the game. Not buying the game won't send the message abouy amiibos. It will tell nintendo you don't want more metroid. Is it that hard to understand?
How is it delusional? It's only delusional to think boycotting the game will send the message to nintendo that people don't want amiibos. It will tell nintendo people don't want more metroid.
Holy fuck there really is a defense force for everything.

So you'd rather samus returns not have been made at all over it being made with a shitty physical dlc included? A francise that has had multiple underperforming games, that hasn't had a 2d entry in over a decade, that is being praised by early impressions for how great of a remake it is, but yeah fuck this game it deserves to bomb for physical dlc.
I'm not telling you to spend your money on this game if you think this practice breaks the camels back for you, but you can't then turn around and say "why isn't Nintendo making more metroid games" if it underperforms.

I think the whole Amiibo game experience is horrible. Looking for a physical object to unlock something for a piece of gaming software is a terrible user experience.
DLC never sells out.
How many metroid games included a hard mode that changed up the mechanics of how the game played? How many Metroid games included a hard mode period? How many of those metroid games that had a hard mode did you actually replay on hard mode?
So its a DLC mode.
Its shitty but thats 2017 sadly.

Be happy you dont have to buy loot boxes with a 1% chance of getting it.
Not really. If you buy it, youre telling nintendo ypu bought a metroid game. If you boycott the amiibo, you're telling nintendo you don't want amiibos. That's a simpler breakdown. If the game sells bad, nintendo will just assume "oh, people arn't interested in metroid afterall." They aren't going to go on gaf and see people saying that it's because of the amiibos.And if I buy it, it tells Nintendo that this shit is okay. That people don't care about the locked content and they can continue to push this shit into other games.
You mean before or after Prime 4?
So its a DLC mode.

if it underperforms because of this bullshit then it's Nintendo fault because they're the one responsible for it.
pure greed
You say that, but if EA tied ultimate team players to figurines the backlash would be fucking incredible. Nintendo seem to get a free pass for some reason.
Want Ronaldo in your ultimate team? Well better buy one of these then:

Sooo, I remember a few years ago GAF had a pretty big freak out over the amount of viral marketers on this board when the Xbone was announced.
Has anyone ever looked into that for Nintendo here though? I'm sure there's plenty of fans here who are OK with this move and more power to them.
What gets me suspicious is the amount of people defending this and trying to outright guilt trip people into supporting this bullshit.
Last time I saw this behaviour was with the Xbone reveal.
Selling a difficulty mode as DLC is just as shitty. At least DLC can't be undershipped.

I can't defend this IF it is all true.Sooo, I remember a few years ago GAF had a pretty big freak out over the amount of viral marketers on this board when the Xbone was announced.

haha, this is worse than any dlc on other consoles, you have to buy a fucking toy
Then you can't complain if/when Metroid goes on another decade-long hiatus because that's all boycotting Samus Returns will do.
Why not both? I'm mad at Nintendo and because of that I won't buy the Amiibo despite previously wanting to. I can also call out people who think Nintendo can magically read minds by way of sales figures.
Why not just boycott the amiibo instead of the game?Guilt tripping people? Really? Ayy lmao.
It was clear from the start. They were knowingly causing confusion.Some people on the other thread was so sure it wouldn't be locked behind the pieces of plastics lol
