No idea. But, you can set matches to not allow it to be used if you don't want it to be.
Yeah, I remember there being speculation about the limit and then I remember everyone concluding that it was absurd that they would ban for buying 4 (different) Skylanders charaacters. In any case, I bought probably as many as you and no ban was handed down. When they had the B2G1 combined with the GCU it was too hard to pass up.inky1600 said:
Had no idea there were nintendo figmas! Agreed on waiting, I hope they have more functionality than just storing your ai's actions
Perhaps you can explain exactly what these Amiibo characters are going to be used for? It sounds like in SSB they unlock special versions of fighters or something you can fight, which really pisses me off if true, but honestly I don't think I've ever seen a clear answer on what these even do in SSB, let alone games like Mario Kart 8.
Not to be rude but this argument always pisses me off. We are talking about games, EVERYTHING is optional.... that's why they are called "options". The Skylander figurines are "optional" as well. And like Skylanders, these are options that are locked behind figurines. They may not be options as significant as extra playable characters, but they are obviously significant enough for Nintendo to think they worth selling individually. And who's to say whether or not they will be needed to enjoy the game..... what you enjoy and what I enjoy may be totally different, and what may end up being an option you never use may make or break the experience for me.
about it, but it is very important to me.Perhaps as an unlockable in Awakening...? You'd need the "new 3ds" to complete the cash grab, I mean, the unlocking process.
They are releasing a NFC add on for standard 3DS so you don't NEED to buy the New 3DS
Yeah I get what they are doing and I don't doubt this will make money but I just hate being nickel'd and dimed like this.
But how do you define a "full game"? The way some people play Smash, they could throw out all the items and stages except Final Destination and still get a full game. I'd say that the second you have to pay a penny beyond the disc itself it ceases to be a full game, especially when it's planned in advance like this.
But do we have any idea at all what these will do in Mario Kart? And it still doesn't change anything I said: Anything these Amiibo's can do can be done just as easily with a save file and SD card.
Yeah I guess some people might see it that way.... guess that's why I was never in marketing lol
Why do you (I'm assuming) hate everything? Even I don't see this as a scumbag move but something really cool, and I think EVERYTHING is a scumbag move. You are right though, that I don't know the functionality for other titles yet. However I'll be able to find out and experience it by only buying one character.
Am I supposed to appreciate features being locked behind some plastic figurines I otherwise have no interest in? What's not to hate?
You likely wouldn't have any interest in said features anyways even if it wasnt tied to these.
I have an idea. STOP BUYING NINTENDO! Vote with your wallet! (And go away.)
How can you possibly know that? We don't know what these things even do outside of SSB, and aside from what I've written here you don't know anything about how I play or what I enjoy.
Chrom! They probably won't do it because he's not even in Smash Bros as a playable character.
See I think we're thinking of this as two different things. The amiibo thing to me is like a separate game. I'm certain that SSB will be a full fledged, full featured game. I honestly probably won't even use amiibo, even though I'm gonna get one just to try it out. I think the fact that you can use it across multiple games and don't have to buy a new one for Captain Toad or Yoshi's Wooly World is a selling point to me. CAsh grab imo is "Buy this Link amiibo to get 5 extra dungeons and a big piece of the story". If it comes down to features being locked out I'll stand right there and say that it's a scummy move.But I think it's gonna be kind of like "Better with Kinect" or whatever. You can level up your amiibo, in SSB, and play with it but you don't have to.
Plus some of them look awesome and you can actually display them when you're not using them.
Where did I ever say I'd be angry if these ended up being useless gimmicks? I'm fine with that in that I don't want to feel any pressure to buy plastic junk. Please quit putting words into my mouth and making generic assumptions, and don't play off what I'm written as if I'm angry for anger's sake. I'm not unhappy, I never said I was, I simply chimed in when somebody said these were "optional" and explained why that's an inaccurate statement.... what's optional or insignificant to one may break the game for another.
Pretty sure they could put a foil sticker or something on the bottom to prevent that.
She's in my top 5.
As of now there's no content locked by these, these are computer controlled AI fighters that can be battled. They level up and become your personal fighter, they're kind if like Pokemon if you will (in pikachus case it totally is). They must be scanned in anytime you want to use them, however unlike Disney and skylanders, they do not have to remain on the pad to be used. They just have to be scanned each battle, or each time the console/game is booted up.
what would be badass would be physical Miis of yourself. I'd pay $50 for one. 3D printing anyone?
I think I will. I have no idea why. She does not belong in this game.
Of course they abandon products when they're unpopular...why wouldn't they? Any business worth it's salt won't throw money into a product that's not working out. See also: Xbox LIVE Vision Camera, Playstation Move, Onlive, etc etc etc.
