The sad thing is that it's a Corporate Ad Campagin. Nintendo knows that we are eating these Amiibos up, despite it mostly being scalped. As long as there is money in it, they don't care how they are getting it. Due to that, there sadly will be more games that support Amiibo more than those that will not as much. It's something that will be milked for everything it's worth till there is nothing left that can be done.
Very true, very true. Once I got Rosalina and the Squid. I just stopped caring. I am not filling my desk with these toys. Only if they make more Splatoon amiibo and only if there's an Octoling among them I'll buy one more set of them and that'll be it. And you're absolutely right, they keep making them, because they are getting a straight profit off them. I'll takes bucket loads of paid DLC over this. At least I don't have to run to a store to get extra content.
Agreed. I highly doubt I'll be collecting these much longer. There's still some I want to get, but the more this goes on, the more I'll probably jump the Amiibo bandwagon for real. I really hope they're not making more games like Amiibo Festival in the future. If they are, then I'm not buying anymore products from them.
Sadly, this is true. Like I said before, the Amiibo are the only source of income for Nintendo since their consoles and games don't sell all that well compared to their competition. This is most likely why I'm not bothering with Nintendo much next year.
Actually, that is true. The Wii U didn't sell nearly as well at it predecessor did. The fickleness of gaming innovation in a nutshell. Since Nintendo couldn't get proper sales, their Amiibos are their only way to make a buck without them hurting too much from the poor sales of it's respective console. The shameless mass production of said Amiibos though for games is where they are making a huge mistake. If they focus too much on Amiibo compatible games, the sales on said games will eventually drop. This will be mostly due to scalpers which will buy Amiibos in bulk and then exploit the public of their money.
The comparisons between 2008 & 2015 for Nintendo is exact because they barely offered much when it comes to their game lineup.
So nothing good then.
Pretty much. :/
Not many of us are Xenoblade fans. Besides, it's not a system seller. There's no way Nintendo will advertise the hell out of this when it comes out.
Nah, don't worry about it. There's nothing talk about at all because Nintendo is not delivering any good news right now.
Well of course no one game should ever be a system seller and no Xenoblade game will never sell as good as it should, but it doesn't change the fact that the game is great and deserves to be put in the spot like any other nintendo game would be.
Plus it's going to the biggest RPG ever released for the Wii U in the West. Something the system definitely needs as there are only a few RPGs to select from.
