Easy way to stick it to Nintendo is copy a NFC card to an amiibo. Many did it with Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Still overpriced.
Only Nintendo? They are but...
EA loot boxes
Microsoft proprietary SSDs
Sony's laughable PS Plus offerings
nVidia prioritizing Bitcoin miners
Ubisoft copy/paste "premium" games with 20 Upsell Editions

Activision/Blizzard selling out to CCP

Great deal for anyone who wants to pick up Skyward Sword HD. Personally skipping because I'm a little bent about Nintendo locking quality of life game features for a $60 MSRP Wii port behind their impossible to find amiibo. May wait for $40 or $30 if those prices ever happen.

Either way, thank you for posting!

This is exactly why I flash my own amiibos now. I got a used LG Volt LS740 for $30 on eBay which supports NFC writing. I get NTAG215 stickers on Amazon for ~50 cents each.

Good points from both of you. I know people who do the amiibo card thing as well, but it slipped my mind.

Good way to go for sure. :-)

Wait 3 to 6 months from launch for $40 or lower.
Or simply skip it.. Don't plan to support Nintendo with these overpriced ports.

Thank you! Missed the last sale they had on this and would rather support them than Walmart.
Pledging allegiance to either one is odd. Curious as to why one would actively "support" GameStop

What features are locked behind the amiibo?

Fast travel. With an Amiibo, you can travel quickly between the ground and the skies at any time. Think of it a bit like the mirror in A Link to the Past.

It's kinda crazy to lock that behind a physical figure, especially when they're already charging a premium price for a quick port of a poorly received Wii game. It may be best to just wait until it's easily available on GameFly and rent from there. The game's already 10 years old; what's another month or two of wait to play it?

Weird to be giving deals on a game not released yet.

I preordered with GCU from best buy, so it was like $27.,99, but no preorder gift. And then I had reward certificates, but on the order I had 3 items, so it split it between them.... so dumb. so if I were to cancel I'd be stuck with like a $3 certificate refund instead of getting the whole cost refunded.
GCU was a 20% discount which is $48 for a $60 game. How did you get it for $28?

Fast travel. Others beat me to the response. :p Not really necessary to enjoy the game, but I think that should have just been a menu option or something.
