The Jimquisition: The Splatoon Straw That Broke Amiibo's Back
Amiibo can go take a running jump at this point. After the abysmal mess that was Wave 4's launch, and the continued benefit to scumbags that these things provide, I'm done.
Splatoon was the final straw - a great game in its own right, with amiibo functionality that genuinely justifies the "glorified DLC" accusations I've defended amiibo from in the past. It's kind of worse though - because it's DLC for only a lucky few.
And I want my power armor, damn it!

Hmm, you rant/call shenanigans on Nintendo's amiibo game and Chibi-Robo gets an amiibo packed in with the physical game? Is this a sign of things to come? Have the heavens granted The Jim another win? ...Or is it a sad ploy to draw people to a less popular character in their stable. It was called a "bundle" which means there may be bundle-less copies that will likely be a LOT more available.
Keep up the good work , Jim
I got all 3 for $29.98. Seemed like a good deal, by the way they are the best looking sexiest amiibo. I have not tried the DLC content. When I do try the content I will think of you Jim. Jim serious question, even in Japan scalpers are ruining the pretty things in life. I want the Fire Emblem If special edition with art book and all 3 versions of the game but guess what... I can only buy the Amazon edition on Amazon from a scalper.. How can Amazon allow these people to buy preorders and then resell them on their site? Maybe you could look into that instead of just blaming Nintendo? I am not defending Nintendo at all> Just find that the problem is the retailers selling in mass to scalpers and then allowing the scalpers to sell products that they currently dont own at an inflated price.
Oh and just imagine how much those Wolly Yoshis are going to go for!!!! Already at $35 in Japan! Jim we can get you the Amiibos from Japan if you really want them.. GO on just one more hit... You will like it....
Too funny! The combo of your rant with the surreal video had me in absolute stitches! Thank god for Jim Fucking Sterling Son!
Like the easy solution that wouldn't piss people off would be to just have the stuff the amiibo gives you as a DLC at a slightly lower price. So people who get the amiibo get a nice thing with it, people who can't find them can still get it too. It'd be pretty win/win for everyone but the scalpers.
