Iwata-sama... we miss you.

You can unlock the song later in the game. You don't need the amiibo.

I believe Iwata would not have greenlit the Switch 2. He would not approve of a new flagship system that doesn't innovate and he would have recognized the gap of content for the launch lineup.

Ah yes, the person who invented amiibo and introduced dlc to Nintendo games as well as mtx, what a saint...
For the record that article is an absolute lie, not only is there music in the desert you can unlock new music without the amiibo which is something that definitely wouldn't have happened under iwata. With the exception of one game, every amiibo compatible game developed under him had content you couldn't access without the amiibo.

Don't listen to fucking kotaku.

>He would not approve of a new flagship system that doesn't innovate and he would have recognized the gap of content for the launch lineup.
The wii u and 3ds were Nintendo's least innovative consoles to date, both were the only consoles to be developed exclusively under iwata and both had extremely sparse launch year line ups so much so that they had to create the ambassador program to get people to buy what little there was on 3ds.

I looked it up. You only unlock it after beating the game. So your first playthrough has to be in awkward silence unless you have the amiibo.

The "Pride and Accomplishment" argument would be acceptable if Nintendo we're making it.
>>
Iwata would have never allowed the switch 2 to exist and would have forced some stupid new gimmick that sent Nintendo right back into another failure. He was a retard. When the DS was the most successful handheld ever he thought instead of just making a stronger DS with the analog (or what he should have done, two analogs) he kneecapped it by forcing devs to make all games render their game twice for that retarded 3D gimmick.
Iwata came at the right time to save the company (Wii/DS) and left during the early production of the switch before he could do something stupid like force Nintendo to make another DS successor or have input on the successor to the switch
>>
>>727587482
Instead, with Iwata gone, you now have $90 controllers, $80 Mario Kart, and $30 paywalls to unlock music in the overworld if you don't want to wait until 100% the game for it. Enjoy!

You say that like this is rock bottom, but we’re already six feet under and still digging.

It's not falling anymore, it's flying downward with style.
>>
>>727592630
Stop replying to yourself anon. You know for a fact that you only have an issue with this because it's Nintendo.
If it didn't have the amiibo as a fast unlock but still required you to finish the game, like most games did during gen 6 for content like that, you wouldn't have batted an eye.
>>
>>727592860
It's funny, isn't it. Nintendo is moving away from amiibo use without making them completely useless and people are complaining about it more than when they had actual gameplay attached to them that you couldn't access without the amiibo

Just goes to show how irrational this Nintendo hate really is.

this isn't a metroid game, it's an aaa game with a metroid skin. think about what replaying mp4 means. having to spend 2 hours smashing crystals at the end of your playthrough again, having to go through all the cringe dialogue again, having to do all the escort segments again. there is a linear progression to the game too and there's so much padding with having to go through the empty desert sequences and you have to keep doing it to get to miles for upgrades.

The Wii U GamePad was actually a huge innovation in theory. Objectively moreso than the Switch, which was just copying something Sega already did decades ago with the Nomad and Sony had done with the PSP. There was so much that could have been done with the GamePad for both single-player and multiplayer (particularly asynchronous multiplayer). The amount of effort they put in to make the GamePad work seamlessly with as little input lag as possible was impressive and completely alien in comparison to post-Iwata Nintendo's utter disregard for UX.
The problem is that it just wasn't utilized to its full potential. Nintendo didn't do it because the Wii U flopped and third parties didn't bother because they didn't want to jeopardize future ports/multiplat releases with features that couldn't translate.

What the fuck are you talking about? The sole purpose of Amiibos from day one has been to unlock the on-disc DLC and Nintendo is still using them for that purpose over a decade later.
Other studios like Capcom were crucified in the past for dabbling in on-disc DLC, but tendies have been defending and consooming it for over a decade. Keep playing the victim though.

>all amiibo are bad and Iwata is at fault for creating them!
The very first application of amiibo as seen with Smash was probably the most reasonably justified use case for them, being an additional thing you could purchase that gave you some additional content in the form of a figure player whose data is also saved on the amiibo for you to then use in other scenarios even away from your setup (like if you bring your amiibo to a friend's house, which I still do as a fun thing where if we have people over, me and my amiibo are a team against everyone else since I trained them).
The issue is that the idea was really only applicable in a few games and for the most part the content that amiibo give now either aren't worthwhile (like the Odyssey amiibo) or are things that completely lock you out of experiencing something, like exclusive modes or in this case music.
A better use for amiibo in Prime 4 is if you wanted to have a crew to help you out, you could scan their amiibo and you'd also be in control of their kit and what they actually do. That way you could also realistically take that data and share it with a friend, too.

I haven't played it yet, do you actually spend a significant amount of time in the overworld? I just assumed you'd be quickly driving from one point to the next, maybe stopping for the occasional diversion, much like Hyrule Field in OoT. I could be entirely wrong though.

No, you'll be spending a decent amount of time in the overworld, because areas don't have interconnectivity you'd usually expect from a Metroid game. It's the tedium of TP Hyrule Field, but without eventually getting fast travel. Plus, you see those green crystals that you can run into to destroy? You'll find out, oops, destroying nearly all of them is mandatory for the story!

>Pretending this whatever mechanic is a dealbreaker because you really want to whine about amiibos
Just like when people pretended that fast travel everywhere was necessary for Zelda SS, the game that has warp statues all over the place, if this mechanic wasn't available at all there wouldn't be a single complaint about lack of music in the desert, in fact most amiibo unlocks on the Switch are completely irrelevant, I bought 10 NFC tags and ended up using only 2 when I realized most games don't do anything worthwhile with the amiibos, I won't even bother writing one for Metroid since yet again it's just pointless early unlocks and irrelevant shit

Point is, you would be giving Nintendo a pass no matter what which proves that anon's point in your very response.

In our "double standards", Sony is shit no matter what. You ever notice that? Because that's not a Freudian slip. We have such a poor view of Sony that that we see Nintendo acting similar to them to be a bad thing. Our hatred and disappointment in Sony is precisely what fuels our criticism towards Nintendo. In your double standards, Nintendo is perfectly innocent as it's either more consumer-friendly than Sony or if not, well, what's the big deal? It's not like Sony isn't guilty of it.

Times have changed since the original Prime game 20 years ago. But with MP4 in particular the end game grind is just there to shill the desert and bike which are 2 unnecessary systems to begin with so it's a more annoying forced grind when it's only there to showcase something that already drags MP4 down.

I mean, yeah, that was typically a part of is a part of unlocking content in older games, actually beating the game and getting a reward to enhance your next playthrough.
I'm not even trying to be a Nintendo apologist here, Metroid Prime Trilogy did the same thing where you could buy bonuses like the Fusion suit and other cosmetic add ons for future playthroughs by spending credits you got each time you reached a progression milestone.
If anything, this feels like they're desperate to give the amiibo any function because Retro didn't want anything exclusive locked to it.

Reading Comprehension.
I'm saying Nintendo was clearly desperate to give the amiibo any functionality since it's functionality is so pointless.
and on the issue of "completing a game to get a bonus", that's still just a common thing that only became rarer in the "DLC generation" that made unlockables a rarity.
Okami required you to beat the game to unlock cosmetic skins, and unlimited ink is unlocked only if you collected all stray beads.
Resident Evil 4 had costumes, additional difficulty, and a few weapons unlocked by beating the game.
Castlevanias all have their Alt Player characters hidden behind beating the game atleast once too.
I don't think it's unusual to have to beat the game to unlock something.
>>
>>727579237
tendies will defend this because you can unlock the radio by 100%'ing the game.
So after a full 100% playthrough of the game in silence in the desert, you can play it again with a soundtrack, isn't that great!?
>>727613324

It's almost as if there's music in the desert and you don't have to 100% the game to unlock the ability to change said music.

Because you don't get to play with semantics and move the goalpost once you get called out retarded faggot.

okay so it's FUNCTIONALLY locking you out.
That's an argument in bad faith.
Unless there's actual replay value to play this game over and over again, and I haven't heard anything about that.
I can't see people replaying the game again just to hear music in the desert this time.

there's a huge difference between a Mii bobblehead in your ship in Metroid Prime 3, or the Fusion suit...... those are cosmetic, not a part of the normal game.
Soundtrack on the other hand IS a component of any video game, a basic one in fact.
They're not really comparable. This is like locking the UI HUD behind beating the game once.
Or hell Metroid Prime specific.. you unlock the scan visor after beating the game once. So that next time you play through you can actually get the world building and immersion of scanning in a Metroid Prime game!
That'd be awful and if it wasn't for people being tendies defending everything Nintendo does.. you'd deep down know it too.

>>727638196
I can.
Metroid formula is you are gated in progress by the suits/powerups you have at the time, as you find new suit upgrades, more areas become available to you, revealing secrets, and further powerups, and even entire sequence breaks that let you do things out of order.
But since fusion they've had doors locking behind you everywhere you go, Adam not authorizing suit upgrades and locking doors on you until he fucking dies and it finally feels like a metroid game, all the various ways of creating "points of no return" in Dread to railroad you to the next boss battle
That is how 2D metroid deviated, making the game functionally linear unless you find speedrunning glitches that allow you to sequence break. You're never only limited by your suit upgrades, you're artificially limited by a platform that falls and makes a section unreachable until later once you go through it, or one of those rotating platforms locking into place after you move it once, or locked doors etc. Or worse, just because Adam says so.

3D Metroid deviated in atmosphere. Metroid was about isolation on a hostile alien world. Little by little they started adding frendly NPC's to an otherwise isolated experience. Metroid Prime 3 was about the maximum of it I could tolerate. But 4? no thanks, I don't need Fag Wars yelling BOOYAH while Qurik Chungus fangirls about morphball, it totally ruins atmosphere.
>>

That's it. You haven't said anything about the game itself beyond the characters.
