lmao Nintendo is putting some kind of fast travel feature in Skyward Sword HD but only if you buy one specific amiibo youtu.be/BjSHq7e3mB8

it won't cost them any sales because they're Nintendo, but also amiibo sell like hotcakes anyways, you're making the game worse for no reason

and even if you buy the game and the amiibo, now you have to carry it with your Switch if you want to use the feature. they literally made the game worse

fucking Uvisoft's Starlink, one of the last toys-to-life games, doesn't have this limitation. You can play completely without the toys, just switching your config in the game menu. There's even some digital-only stuff included with the base game lol

then again, NFC tags are cheap and if you have a phone with NFC (afaik iPhones let you use the NFC chip nowadays? not sure) you can just make your own copies of amiibos, they'll be much more portable, just not as pretty on a shelf
