You’re paying for a very minor convenience that gameplay would normally give you.
RAVIO DLC HYRULE WARRIORS FREE
However, the other Amiibos are not nearly as useful, with random gifts ranging not only from weapons, but materials and even rubies, the latter of which can sometimes result in receiving only a single ruby. From this perspective, the Amiibos seem more like random goodies sold by a lot of free to play games. The fact that he also gives you free random weapons (like Zelda) every day after that is a small bonus.
RAVIO DLC HYRULE WARRIORS UPDATE
The animations are stylish without me feeling quite as open to attacks, though I must admit that the maps I used this on weren’t the hardest (I only have a rank 3, three star spinner as my best one, so I can’t push the hardest content with it yet, but will update this if I feel I made a drastically poor decision in my description here). In some ways, I may prefer the spinner due to it’s tighter control and what feels like faster animations, which really matter on adventure mode maps. The spinner’s fun and certainly different from the guantlets that are of the same type. However, I think it’s worth it, even if I would have preferred it to be a different element.
The spinner, being one of these doubles, is a bit of a let down, but I must admit I would have paid for it just to try it out.Īs DLC, I’d probably pay $5-$10 for the spinner just because I assume that’s what other companies would charge me. All this does is offer different styles of gameplay should you dislike one of his other weapons. In fact, if you play the game (or check this wiki), you know that he’s starting to get repeat elements. The Spinner itself is fun enough, but Link already has a lot of weapons and almost every element. While the Zelda figure was announced to also unlock a weapon, it ended up being a generic weapon, not something new. The Link figure, unlike any other Amiibo, unlocks an additional weapon, the spinner. That being said, let’s see what your money gets you with the current games. However, if I’m wrong about the latter, the former is quite a problem since it means you’ll have to delete your Smash Bros data from your Amiibo to utilize it for other games. I’ve reached out to Nintendo about this issue, among others, but as you can probably guess, they have nothing new to reveal at this time. This is another point I worry about because, to me, it seems both short sighted and indicative that we won’t be seeing Amiibo used for too much in the future. The Amiibo FAQ currently notes that the figures only have enough room to store data for one game. Some games simply read information, while others write information. That’s why I feel that, unless someone is a hardcore collector or fan of a certain character, we need to be cautious about investing in these figures.īefore that though, we need to address one last issue: writeablity.
Yes, if you look at this chart of the wave 1 figures, there are plans for other games (Note: Kirby and the Rainbow Curse will also use Amiibo), but there’s nothing specific on their functionality. Now, looking at Nintendo’s past, I felt someone really needed to look at what we’re getting in terms of DLC for Amiibo as they currently stand, which is just in 3 games: Mario Kart 8, Hyrule Warriors, and Smash Bros for Wii U. In that sense, I mostly see them as downloadable content in toy form. Amiibos are cheaper, but currently, the functionality is just a small addition to various games. While the other toys work with only a single game, they’re much more involved in that game. While Shacknews has a great article comparing Amiibos to it’s competitors, the bottom line is that Nintendo, from many people’s perspective, is cashing in on a toy/game combo-craze. However, as soon as I heard about Amiibos, I worried this could be the worst offender. As much as I love the company, it does make a lot of crap that truly is niche and ends up costing more than it’s worth. I mean, I waited a long time for the 64DD which never made it outside Japan, Don’t forget the Wii Speak, Gamecube Broadband adapter, Gameboy Printer… oh hell, if you really have forgotten, here’s a good list of Nintendo’s abandoned peripherals. My sensibility about past Nintendo products luckily has me on guard about these products. I admit I was a bit of a toy collector in my teens, and I do have to control my inner pokemon master by reminding him that we don’t need to always catch’em all. While some figures are awesome when they’re defective, it’s not always true. While I could do an article on the quality and collectability of Amiibo, I think my lazy-eyed Link speaks for itself.
