$30 Metroid Dread amiibo figures increase players’ health and missiles

Each figure increases capacity permanently and also acts as a daily top-up…

Crappy move, pay 30 dlc and get better health and ammo once a day. People who may have a hard time with this game shouldn't have to pay $30 to get some help. WTF.

Nintendo has become pretty greedy lately with limited Digital Games like the 3d mario games, the other Amiibo for Zelda, let alone lazy port for $60 bucks. Just feels like they are ripping us off.

Don’t amiibos usually give you perks? I mean why is that a bad thing? It’s optional and in no way is mandatory to finish the game. No Metroid game before has ever given you better health and ammo daily. It’s like they’re not allowed to do anything cool or fun with amiibos.

Snookies121062d ago

Then have it give you an alternate armor color or something. Not something that you pay for to actually help you in the game.

Simply astonishing that you are defending a multi-billion dollar company for being greedy. The same kind of mindset that has existed for so long that is why we have micro transactions in so many games even in single player games because people always find a way to say well you're not being forced you to use them when you are literally forced to use them if you want to have fun. Assassin's Creed Odyssey without XP boosters that game is a chore to play

It's Nintendo man you know they have always been greedy they literally sold a cardboard box for $60 and Nintendo Fanboys called it innovation. Their level of greed has just increased with lazy ports and charging full price

I'll download the amiibo and add it into an nfc card boom f that 30 bucks for nothing.

CosmicTurtle1062d ago

I actually like the Amiibos for this and wanted to purchase them regardless. It was kind of cool in Mario Mario they’d correspond with different sprites. But this bonus is both unimaginative and greedy.

So basically unlocks easy mode.

Dandizzle1062d ago

It is going to work the same way it worked in Samus Returns on 3DS and likely the Samus Returns amiibos will also give you the same bonus, same is probably true with any samus related amiibo.

The way it worked in Samus returns is if you scanned the amiibo once, it unlocked a special reserve tank, that in the case of of ammo depletion or health, the reserve tank will refill a portion again. The reserve tank automatically regens in about a day and does not require subsequent amiibo scans like in BOTW amiibos.

Metroid Dread Has Sold Over 3 Million Copies, Reveals Developer

Enric Álvarez, the CEO of Metroid Dread developer MercurySteam, has revealed that the title has now sold over three million copies worldwide.

jaymacx289d ago

It’s good to see Metroid do well. Hopefully we hear something soon about Metroid Prime 4

Hereandthere289d ago (Edited 289d ago )

Wait up, 3 million worldwide out of a possible 120 million is considered good for a legendary franchise like metroid?

JEECE289d ago

Metroid has never sold super well. Lots of people under under the mistaken impression that, because franchises like Mario Kart, Smash Bros., 3D Mario games, more recent Zelda games, and Animal Crossing sell huge numbers, that all Nintendo franchises sell at that level, and that they always have.

This is pretty good for a Metroid. Dread will probably end up being the best-selling game in the franchise, if it isn't already.

Sciurus_vulgaris289d ago (Edited 289d ago )

Metroid Prime was said to have sold 2.8 million copies, so Dread is likely the best selling game in the series.

Rebel_Scum288d ago

Not everyone is a metroid freak ho ho ho

It took some doing but I'm glad it finally made it past that milestone.
