It's ok, the item isn't locked behind lootboxes. It only takes 100 hours to grind for it. Sure we it was easy to get it previously..but we have to consider the SENSE OF PRIDE AND ACCOMPLISHMENT"

Also, pretty sure a number of items in the Pocket Camp lootboxes are locked behind a paywall so if Reggie actually said this he's full of shit.

Reggie's only the President of Nintendo of America.

Nintendo of Japan makes all of those decisions and has all of the power.

This was on bloomberg. It only makes sense they would send the head of the american branch to an american tv show.

And I'd rather exclusive content and difficulties just be DLC or unlockable. Amiibos just waste money, are limited and waste space.

You can use t he same amiibo you got for several games, i thought this was common knowledge already?

I could use my zero suit samus amiibo to unlock stuff in metroid samus returns, in the wii u/3ds smash brothers, and now on smash bros ultimate when it comes out.

The intent is to provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for unlocking different heroes.

As for cost, we selected initial values based upon data from the Open Beta and other adjustments made to milestone rewards before launch. Among other things, we're looking at average per-player credit earn rates on a daily basis, and we'll be making constant adjustments to ensure that players have challenges that are compelling, rewarding, and of course attainable via gameplay.

We appreciate the candid feedback, and the passion the community has put forth around the current topics here on GameFAQs, our forums and across numerous social media outlets.

Our team will continue to make changes and monitor community feedback and update everyone as soon and as often as we can.

So what you're saying is later games have on disc dlc planned from the get go that people need to go buy old Amiibos for. Good way for Nintendo to clear old inventory.

What's worse, locking content behind lootboxes or amiibos?

I don't think Amiibos are regularly being abused, but there have been incidents of locking gameplay content behind a limited supply item.
