It’s probably not fair, but I’m never as impressed by a Transformers toy that doesn’t transform, no matter how good it looks...

True, but the important thing is that it failed at all. Metroid has never been Nintendo’s biggest money maker... but it always had a place at Nintendo for its devoted fanbase and critical accomplishments... Super Metroid has been considered the absolute best video game of all time by more than one reputable games…

That has definitely been my concern with Federation Force as soon as it was announced... after the critical flop of Other:M I think that Nintendo isn’t confident in Samus and Metroid, so I worry that this game is meant to be a sort of “test” to see if the franchise still has legs. And if it doesn’t sell, it could mean…

It’s a money thing... they know that some people are going to buy two copies (one to leave in box, one to open and use). Lol and some people are just going to take their 3DS to the store and get everything for free if they let them

Well, if you find a Shovel Knight amiibo you can... the developers asked specifically not to have that strip on their Amiibo, since they knew it was going to have a limited run compared to the Nintendo-owned characters and they wanted collectors who don’t open their amiibo to be able to enjoy it.
