Not to sound negative, but this is starting to sound like pay-to-play/win.

DarthZoolu3602d ago

Reggie is full of stupid comments wait not stupid its just a lie.

DarthZoolu3602d ago

Why do people not realize they are getting scammed with these figures? Its micro transactions but much worse.

randomass1713602d ago

Amiibo's are their own exclusive functionality. They don't affect the core aspect of Smash Bros. whatsoever, and they are confirmed to not be allowed in public online games, only local and online with friends.

badz1493602d ago

Completely different is just Reggie pushing it too far. The only difference is it's crossplay compatible. It's like saying Xperia and Galaxy phones are completely different. Yeah, right!

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory3602d ago

It different because it will work across multiple games not just one

Geekman3602d ago

Basically your own CPU. I'll buy no more than 3.... maybe 4.

Let me get this straight,does that mean i can take LINK and put him in another game and use him as playable character?..If so then that's AWESOME!

Killzoner993602d ago

Just a cash grab nothing more. These will be forgotten in two years.

marloc_x3602d ago

With POKEMON? I think not..

DarthZoolu3602d ago

This is micro transactions taken to the extreme.

lilbroRx3602d ago

You are guys are really grasping for straws at this point.

You got to find something to downplay Nintendo's achievements no matter what they are.

Reggie is actually a creative marketing manager. He is the real deal. I think the guy might even be above average in the sales department. He got people to accept cheaply made products for extremely high prices and not only accept the situation but to defend him in a way to make sure their favorite sales manager gets rich, and on top of all of this, he kept the pop-culture train rolling. The dude is a true hustler.

Michiel1989275d ago

because the majority of people who buy nintendo products know Reggie....you're one of the most pathetic fanboys I've seen in a good while. Always ready to shit on everything non-Sony and when sony controller ports fuck up at EVO no one is allowed to report on it...just sad.

Bruh, all that was a compliment to Reggie.

anast275d ago

I'm all good. It looks like you got somethings to work on.

anast275d ago

@Atarax

It's a compliment. I highlighted all the stuff he excelled at, which is more than most execs in gaming.

Michiel1989274d ago

You know that I wasn't talking about your compliments about Reggie. I don't get how you don't get tired of constantly shitting on other platforms, shills like you is honestly why I don't visit this site anymore.

I'll just leave that here. My advice still stands.
