For what? A bunch of costumes for your Mii character? That's hardly anything to get excited over.

Why do you care? What's exciting to you may not be exciting to me. I for one dont go bitching about your yellow Joy-con post.

Calm your tits dude, I was criticizing Nintendo's lackluster amiibo rewards for MK8D. You don't have to feel so personally attacked by it. Jeez.

Calm your own assumption as well. Has the Amiibo unlocks been finalised as well, and are they just cosmetic and not power-ups? If Nintendo can lock weapons and armor sets behind pieces of plastic, what makes you think they cant do it in MK8D? Think.

As for their lackluster Amiibo rewards, that's good news for everyone. The less Nintendo use those shitty pieces of plastic in their games the better. They're treading onto thin ice when they're start locking stuff behind them. First cosmetic, then unfair advantages with powerups (in BOTW).

From Nintendo's​ Website. (Has a list of compatible amiibos)

No mention of power-ups or the sort.
So you do agree the rewards for MK8D are lackluster

Also, I think you're stretching it a bit calling the amiibo rewards in BOTW unfair. It's a single player RPG, making the game easier or harder for yourself is totally up to you. Nothing "unfair" about it.

And those cosmetics are a nice additions for hardcore fans of the series. They don't really add or detract anything from the game and for us casual fans serves nothing more than as hollow rewards.

Not if you're a completionist. Locking weapons like the Sword of the Six Sages behind the Ganondorf Amiibo, or Epona unlock, or the Fierce Diety armor set, outfit and weapon behind the upcoming 30th anniversary Amiibos. These are not just cosmetics, they're advantageous to those who either just started the game (even "failed" Amiibo unlocks gives overpowered two-handed weapons like ROYAL versions of swords, for example), and starting the game with Epona alone gives unfair advantage over time taken to have to tame wild horses.

Fair enough if its MK8D and its cosmetic nonsenses, IF that is true, and if that 's the only "advantage" Nintendo is giving via Amiibo. But the potential of abusing this is so high and tempting,.....people are already criticizing Nintendo as "materializing DLCs in the form of Amiibos for unlocks".

Rofl there is nothing besides costumes just like how MK8 is on the Wii U. Cube bawak bertenang.

Also the costumes for Amiibo sucks because it's for Mii characters. Seriously a lot rather choose the Nintendo characters than using ur own Mii with a Mario outfit for example.

NFC NTAG215 cards and keychains just arrived from Shenzen. Took them long enough with that cheap shipping. Should've checked the mail downstairs. With the N2Elite and Powertags, these NFC cards and keychains are kinda redundant for me. Unless someone wants me to write these Zelda related Amiibos onto them and sell em out for cheap.

For what's it's worth, Powersaves and Amiiqo/N2Elite bin files are cross-conpatible.

Maybe I'll just repurpose them for use at home, but I don't think my home's that automated to warrant NFC tag/profiling. Maybe can use to turn on the gaming PC, hmmmmm......

Guys anyone want to trade their bomberman with my 1,2 switch?

I pon nak trade like that

You need to offer a better or on par to trade games.
1-2 Switch is a Maxsoft mandated forced Switch bundle to get sales type of game.

Nintendo's confidence on that title selling for $50 is very obvious /s

That game's the first thing I traded off. Should've been a pack-in like Wii Sports. Disgusting that Nintendo wants that for 50 bucks.

Are you sure you want a DOA $350 Switch 1-2 Switch bundle? I did rather they give me the $300 MSRP without any games. I actually wanted to buy Zelda through Eshop. Now i will be waiting for buy 1 free 1 game promo.

2.2.0 update, not even sure what it does.. probably patch more exploits. About time they add something useful..

Switch is like a second class citizen... Not only it is treated like a joke from AAA developers, indie developers aren't prioritizing it either.

Just played Portal Knight demo on PS4, really enjoyed it. Steam version RM23, both version releasing end of this month. So naturally I went and google Switch version, there is a Switch version, hooray, with unannounced date and the developer said won't be so soon.

GOAT..

Lol, you'd think all dev would know how well the Switch was gonna sell. Most are spectical how it's gonna be. And now figures are there to show that dev could potential earn a lot of money if they realease it on Switch, and also most just got a hand on it regarding porting and what not.

Also you think the game could just be released like that lmao. There is procedures still, and a lot takes time.

Development takes time, but there are shit tons of indie games manage to make it in time during launch/launch window. People keep using "Nintendo didn't send a dev kit to them early" as an excuse to defend them, fine, i'll bite. But if that's true, then it further proofs how beta stage this is. Nintendo didn't even bother sending dev kit much earlier for them? Why other console launch manage to get so many games including Wii U but exclusively only on Switch where games are being pushed. I'm fine with new games coming much later, but games like Skyrim, minecraft, rayman legend where it existed in like 10 other platforms will be released this fall.

Not to mention the amount of indie games which requires "hey retweet this or keep saying you want this game then we'll consider".

Devkit are expensive as well. And you already know how lousy Nintendo is when producing hardware, takes forever for those who are waiting. They just slow.

Skyrim, and Rayman will have more content on Switch as far as I know, so yeah the reason why it takes time. I'm pretty sure the reason Skyrim was shown is just to show how the hardware can handle graphics although the game is old, but fans were talking about it, if the graphic is like that and such and handheld mode, it's gonna be awesome and etc.

I think it's pretty similar for most new console launch as well. When I bought PS4 on launch also the same, not all of the games gets released at the same time. Most new console is delayed much later mostly. Kinda the same for each stuff, early adopters have to be more patient. Would suggest to wait a year or so after launch mostly, and then more games will flood in after.

Maybe.....or...more likely.....This is the main reason why devs are having a hard time porting to NS

"Well, we've heard that the cost of manufacturing a Nintendo Switch game is higher than the cost of making a PS4, PC or Xbox One game, because the cartridges the Switch uses cost more to make than Blu-ray discs."

"But why would a Nintendo Switch game cost more on the Nintendo eShop? Digital games, after all, are just a download. There's no need to factor in costly cart manufacture with an eShop game. Well, we've heard that Nintendo's policy is that Switch eShop games should cost the same as their physical versions, in a bid to keep bricks and mortar shops on-side. A shop such as GAME, for example, is unlikely to go all in on a Switch game if you can download it for half the price instead."

"So, we end up in a situation such as Rime, where the game costs £39.99 on Nintendo Switch physical and digital, when the PC, PS4 and Xbox One versions cost just £29.99 physical and digital.

"Rime isn't the only game to suffer from this problem, by the way. Puyo Puyo Tetris, from publisher Koch, costs £34.99 on Nintendo Switch both physically and digitally. It costs £24.99 on PS4."

I don't think that devs hate NS, I think it's just Nintendo shooting themselves in the foot again.
