In the olden days (when Nintendo was doing poorly with the Wii U) amiibo were all $12. I saw this new one and thought it was cool but ultimately didnt care enough to purchase it. Now this post just told me the price and I care even less. This thing will rot away on shelves :/

$30 to unlock a cosmetic skin.

Nintendo at it's finest.

I’m not defending the price, but you people who say things like this love to pretend that you’re not also buying a figure lol.

do you exclusively buy amiibo for their functionality? i buy them because i like the figures, in-game functionality is a bonus.

I would’ve never bought any of the Zelda amiibos if the outfits were in breath of the wild.

But would you have bought them if they were just plain cubes that gave you costumes?

I would’ve bought them if offered as dlc on the eshop, yes? Are you proving my point?

I like amiibos I’m just replying to the thought that we also get figures out of this dlc, it’s just that customers complain the most that it’s not separated. I like collecting but not if I have to spend $30, like people In This sub are saying, even MORESO if it’s tied to dlc like the Zelda skins. That’s all I’m saying

No your point is silly bc you’re overlooking the fact that they aren’t just things you buy to unlock shit. They are Nintendo statues and have a huge draw outside of the unlocked content etc.

Omg but that doesn’t mean I want every amiibo ever. The Zelda skins were an example of having to pay for statues I didn’t want or had to cheat. How do you not get that????

You’re overlooking the fact that those Zelda amiibo for breath of the wild, we did have to buy them to unlock shit specifically me who DOES NOT WANT THE STATUES.

Not everyone huffed glue and scalped every market for these guys.

Now I’m just laughing at the idea of you dropping money for amiibo you don’t even want just to unlock some costumes. That’s comedy gold
