Nilaul confirms that his pre-order is officially canceled.
Canceling a preorder doesn't tell Nintendo why. Social media is a far better platform for leveling issues like this against a company.

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.
Guilt tripping people? Really? Ayy lmao.
Then you can't complain if/when Metroid goes on another decade-long hiatus because that's all boycotting Samus Returns will do.
what games have game modes locked behind rng loot crates?
"But thats todays gaming" Better?Can people stop using years as a reason for things?
Not buying the game doesn't stop the amiibos at all. Not buying the amiibos stops the amiibos.*Don't buy from shirty developers/publishers that try to pull bad practices, but also could you buy this game from my favorite franchise so there Is a small sliver of a chance we might get more?"
Same shit that always pops up people are willing to overlook a publisher no matter how shitty if its to do with a franchise they love, personally would rather let a franchise I loved outright die if they kept pulling shady shit.
How many people are buying 3DS games nowadays? As shitty as this is I don't think the fraction of people that want to play the extra difficulty are that much bigger than the amiibo stock.
Sure I will. I will complain that Nintendo is a fuckin greedy company who ruined their latest game with that shit. Sure I can complain, I'm a consumer. I PAY. Should I be grateful and kiss Nintendo's feet ? No way.
Nintendo, why do you disappoint me so...
I can't defend this IF it is all true.
People here are desparate for this series to stay alive after no 2d metroid for 13 years. These aren't nintendo reps. You have to understand. If you don't get samus returns, nintendo isnt going to see that it's because of the amiibos.
It's like people have comphrension issues or something just for this situation. I don't understand the logic of how they think boycotting the game will end amiibos.Nope, but you do need to realize that boycotting the game will do jack shit to stop Nintendo's terrible Amiibo practices.
Not buying the game doesn't stop the amiibos at all. Not buying the amiibos stops the amiibos.
Think about all of that BOTW content locked behind very hard to get amiibos.
If you're not gonna buy the game because of this, at the very least write a message on Nintendo's social media telling them you won't be buying it because of their shitty business practices. Otherwise the message you're sending is that you just don't want a Metroid game.
This shit is going to be in other games whether this game flops or not...hate to break it you.And you have to understand that people like me who loves Metroid, also hates this greedy amiibo shit usage and we care more about our principles than the series. I do not want this shit to spread into other games, and I'm voting with my wallet on this one. I refuse to purchase this. Not purchasing amiibo isn't going to do jack shit when Nintendo has it limited and scalpers buy a good chunk of the inventory. Rather the game do terribly and not release another Metroid game for a decade than allow this disgusting practice continue.
So dumb. Hopefully there's enough negative press for them to offer a FREE dlc option instead.
Thinking of doing the same mate, it seems easy enough to set them up (from reading up on it) - I'm getting fed up with content being locked to little (pricey) things I don't want.Just under three years and now they've finally decided for me that I need to get 100 NFC tags. Fine by me, no more money for them if this is the way they want more of my money.

Other metroid games have sold bad before. It's not like this would be the first to sell bad and make nintendo assume it was due to amiibos. They will just assume its due to lack of interest in metroid.
So dumb. Hopefully there's enough negative press for them to offer a paid dlc option instead.

They'll come to their sense when amiibos stop selling gangbusters...which will never happen. Some hundreds complaining on gaf won't end this.I don't really care about hard mode, but this sets a bad precedent moving forward. We need to complain enough for Nintendo to notice.
I'm sure they'll come to their senses.
ftfy
Having to pay for a hard mode is not acceptable in the slightest.
I was looking for a new metroid game, but I don't support such shitty behavior. You want to blame me for not supporting Metroid How about you blame that shitty greedy company.
Nope, but you do need to realize that boycotting the game will do jack shit to stop Nintendo's terrible Amiibo practices.

Y'all could not buy the game.
However, there's an alternative that might sound crazy....
How about you buy the game, but not the amiibo? That way, you can play the game while still using your wallets to tell Nintendo how you feel about the difficulty being behind a pay wall.
Don't forget guys. We literally begged Nintendo for a proper Metroid for awhile now... I really don't get where all the hostility is coming from, or why "Fusion Mode" is even being called "Hard Mode". Fusion is the easiest game in the entire series. And dont forget. The only way you could unlock the Fusion Suit in the original Metroid Prime, was buy owning Fusion, a GBA and a special cable. This is nothing compared to that. The majority of you probably already own the Smash Amiibo. And if you truely call yourselves Metroid fans, you would want the others as well. Just saying.

Fuck!!
I will get the Metroid Amiibo because it's cool, but I have the old 3ds and I cannot make use of it unless i buy another shitty accessory
Well... Screw the Fusion suit. I wonder how nintendo feels when considering they wasted time and money developing a hard more with a different suit, that only a few people will make use of it
At least you can sell the amiibo, you can't sell the DLC :/
"Fortunately" the old Smash Bros. Metroid amiibos works too. On the other hand this is not good practise. Like I said before at least allow people to buy the dlc for a fee from the eShop. But a hard mode should be part of the game (for free). Weird choice by Nintendo for this one.
Not buying the game doesn't show nintendo that people don't support amiibos. It shows them people don't support metroid. No that's not that guilttripping, it's reality.People can choose to boycott the game if they don't want to support these DLC practices.
lol
The best way is not to buy the game and the amiibo while making a shitstorm on social media.
Not really an advantage when you are paying more for it in the first place than you would regular DLC, IF you can even find it anywhere once they are sold out. By the way, regular DLC does not sell out.

So for people without the 3DS that scans Amiibo, they're shit out of luck or have to get a dongle as well as a physical fucking figure?
Worst practice in the entire industry, well done 'Ninty'.
Dlc can be pulled or have its license expire and no longer be available or the digital store front may stop being accessible, that isn't something that can happen with Amiibo fwiw
Why is it that no one causesd a shit storm when in splatoon 1, amiibos locked full challenge modes behind amiibos?
