Metroid: Samus Returns (3DS)

[Changeling]

They're going to be released together as a two-pack.

In before

Just preordered this and the Sp. ed. of the game. That Metroid Amiibo got me!

Fuck Nintendo of America.

Fuck them so hard.

Derp

[EvilMog]

Damn those useless trinkets are sweet.

People are more upset about missing boxes full of garbage than 10 years ago when NOE was publishing games NOA wouldn't touch

[Shin Johnpv]

NoE has been doing a better job than NoA for over a decade now, specially like Finch said with game releases. I would love that steel book.

[Changeling]

Whatever. Just something else I would crate.

If this game were on the modern, region free platform where it belongs, this wouldn't be an issue...

You can always make it a modern, region free platform... it's relatively easy/safe nowadays.

This game is a good example of everything that is wrong with Amiibos. Look at this functionality:

Samus Aran (Metroid Series)

• Elon Reserve Tank (special ability recovery)
• Metroid II Art Gallery (unlocked after beating game)

Metroid (Metroid Series)

• Metroid Marker (tells you location of nearest Metroid)
• FUSION Difficulty Mode (unlocked after beating game)

Samus Aran (Super Smash Bros. Series)

• Missile Reserve Tank (missile recovery)
• Concept Art Gallery (unlocked after beating game)

Zero Suit Samus (Super Smash Bros. Series)

• Energy Reserve Tank (energy recovery)
• Sound Test (unlocked after beating game)

It's disheartening to see things that have been included since the NES days placed behind plastic pay walls. I think the common sense consensus these days is that Amiibos should only unlock aesthetics, much like the DLC in games like Rocket League.
