This week we’re attempting something fresh at Pure Nintendo, with the hopes that it becomes a new regular feature. Readers of PNM are of course familiar with ‘The Question Block’; a fun way to interact with the PN crew, with the chance to see your letter in print. After a brief hiatus this section is not just returning, but also being augmented.
Each week readers can expect to see a new gaming-themed question, one designed to stimulate discussion between all, PN crew included. While we’re optimistic that this feature will have success, it really is dependent on you our fans – or Koopalings as PNM readers are known. So please, share away! We’re looking forward to seeing comments from our both our loyal regulars, as well as new participants.
Don’t feel like commenting on the main site for some reason? You can also comment on our Facebook, or Twitter accounts, or by writing to questionblock@purenintendo.com. Who knows, you might just find yourself in a future issue of PNM!
Don’t forget our new poll either. If you haven’t already, please cast your vote. You can also submit comments related to the new poll.
This week’s question is this … “Are special amiibo like Gold Mega Man & Wolf Link enough to make you double-dip on games you might already own?”
Do be sure to let us know your thoughts. Also be sure to give a shout out to Kaelyn for her feature image artwork!

I’d have to say no, at least for right now. Never say never though, as who knows what cool amiibo are waiting just around the corner. ;)
In the case of Mega Man Legacy Collection, I’d be more likely to double-dip for the ability to play them on a portable – I already own them on a home console.
As for Twilight Princess, I’ve already gone on record with my impressions of the HD update, lol. ;D

At this point sadly the amiibo was more of an incentive for me to buy the titles. I do not have Twilight Princess, so this will be a new experience for me. With Mega man legacy collection although I do have some of the Mega Man games on VC I do not have them all. Now at some point I either owned them or played them on the original NES.

As far as the Wolf Link amiibo goes, I was already planning on purchasing the Twilight Princess HD Remake for my Zelda collection, but the Wolf Link amiibo sweetened the deal and made me preorder much sooner than I would have.
The gold Mega Man amiibo did get me to preorder the legacy collection, however, since I had no real interest in picking up the title until the amiibo announcement. Guess i’m just a sucker for those amiibo!

If Twilight Princess wasn’t already playable on the Wii U thanks to backwards compatibility, I might have considered getting the HD version. But since I already have Twilight Princess for the Wii, I don’t feel like I need another version to play on the same console I can already play it on. The Wolf Link amiibo itself, however, is another story. I’d love to get my hands on that, just as a figure, without any game to use it with.

I could easily be swayed by a shiny new toy! The Wolf Link for example is very tempting.

It’ll certainly take more than a cheaply repainted toy to make me re-buy the Mega Man games. I own them all on their original systems and have emulated the sh*t outta them in recent years. No figure or rehashed “challenge mode” will make me reconsider.
