Players note that in terms of greed, the Japanese company has left EA and Activision far behind.
Players who started playing Metroid Prime 4: Beyond discovered that in the vast desert location that Samus explores on the Vi-O-La bike, there is no background music at all. Rather, it is only available to those who, in addition to the $60 game, buy an amiibo figure for $30.
It is important to note that Nintendo honestly admits in the description of the figure on the official website that music is one of the bonuses for its owners. However, this detail is hidden in the "additional benefits" section, and it is nowhere stated that without the figure there will be no music at all in the location.
Although many commentators defend Nintendo and say that people primarily buy a cool figure, and music comes as a nice bonus, some still believe that the company's greed has become simply absurd.
One of the fans also noted that music in the desert can also be earned, but for this, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond must first be completed 100%, spending many hours on it.
