Shovel Knight is definitely one of the most entertaining games of 2015 and with the release of the game on the Nintendo Wii U, you can now buy the amiibo for it! By using the Shovel Knight amiibo, it actually unlocks a brand new mode for the game which is … CO-OP!
TNS: "A decade after my amiibo obsession began, it's time I admit that Nintendo's toys-to-life lineup didn't pan out the way I hoped it would."
I own some amiibo for the plastic toy collection aspect. If you feel like you wasted your money on them, then let that be a lesson for you.
Tldr he over invested in amibo thinking that toys to life would have resulted in some grand Nintendo cross over rpg.
However Nintendo never said they were doing that instead it was the writer who got carried away with the possibility rather than the reality
Why would Nintendo spend millions developing a game that only a small percentage of switch owners can play
There's tons of legit reasons to hate on Nintendo but the writer of this article didn't choose one
Amiibo are basically just physical DLC with a toy collection aspect. The in-game bonuses/effects can sometimes be cool, like Wolf Link in BotW. But overall Nintendo really could have better utilized amiibo.
Thinking plastic toys would be much more than plastic toys is on you. Sure you get a small bonus effect but it should have been obvious that it was basically a toy that comes with a dlc. Nintendo is good at making money off of inexpensive items. They are still selling cardboard for good money
As a Nintendo fanboy, I admit they are too scummy but this is not scummy, Nintendo sold figures with some functionality, and that's what they are, figures that you can use with some games, I don't know where the idea came from that they are the gateway to some avengers endgame scenario, where you use everything you have owned
To celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Yacht Club's Shovel Knight, CGM takes a brief look at its legacy.
Yacht Club games brought their A-game to IGN Live and sat down with us to speed run their way through Shovel Knight. Join us as they put their skills to the test and see if they can beat their own records.
Is this the only way to play Co-op? What is this BS!?
Co-OP should not be a locked content that can only be used by buying some stupid toy.
I hope i can find this when it releases.. Its really bogus that they lock out options like that though..
Reviewing an Amiibo? I'm sorry, but NO!
