So you need to buy an amiibo to use the Winter DLC? If that is what I'm reading right...
Well, if the amiibo isn't needed to use to access the DLC then that is great, I'm more interested in the canon extra story then I am about the additional treasure chests and some masks and clothing. One thing that would be great is if they let you decide on just getting Summer DLC or the Winter, rather then being made to buy the whole lump altogether.You aren't then, chances are you need the Amiibo to access all the extras it puts in but the main DLC is just that DLC
It's why I don't bother with amiibos, they might have been a good idea at first but they seem to induce Nintendo to use them as a subtle carrot on a stick, rather then go with the straight (and to the point) notion that other companies use: 'To obtain DLC, please insert money.'Quite frankly, I find that the "pay for an amiibo to get extra game content" concept extremely annoying. I guess - to be fair - another way to look at this situation is that they would be asking for you to pay for the added content, but in this case you ALSO get an amiibo with the purchase.
