The guys of GamingBoulevard played Captain Toad Treasure Tracker with some Amiibo figurines after the update.
A new amiibo has its release date from Nintendo, and pre-orders have started revealing the price and how it's the most expensive figure ever.
NE: "Nowadays, amiibo cost more than ever, and they don't offer many more in-game bonuses than before. Should Nintendo switch to cards instead?"
Everything Nintendo doesis expensive these days. This company loves to gouge pockets. What’s sad, people willing to pay for it.
I used to collect amiibos, especially the Smash Brothers ones. Ended up with nearly 100 of them. Eventually sold them all to a collector. I pick and choose which Amiibos to purchase nowadays, but usually it's the Zelda ones.
Upcoming amiibo figures from Nintendo appear to have received an official price cut - here are the new prices.
Nintendo gets away with murder when it comes to its game prices . They're still selling some of their last gen games for full price.
Not just full price, but $80 when last gen it was $60… and $70… which, don’t get me started on that.
£74.99 ($100) Switch 2 games didn't last long in the UK and games on key cards are annoying. Amiibo has been problematic from the start, prices a bit high, then the scalpers get hold of them, not forgetting stupid regional exclusives. On top of that, the content you get is fairly poor, then you have a figure gathering dust. For us poor gamers (me), Nintendo should've released Amiibo without the figures, just the bases showing who was who. I paid into a few of them during the Wii U era, but not Switch. With all of this, why would Nintendo be bothered?
buy a compulsory toy to get something that could have been easily for free via regular software update. Companies don't appreciate gamers anymore just milk them
it's cool if you already have the figures.. i'm definitely not buying one for this.
I wouldn't even consider this additional content. This has got to be the most lame use of an amibo in a game.
Addiitional content should have been like this for example. If I touch links amibo it would unlock a Zelda themed level.
We used to have free cheat codes we could discover or go on the Internet and look up.. cheat codes gave us extra lives, more/other weapons, more characters, more outfits, secret levels.. now you have to pay for dlc and or amiibos
