Nintendo have finally unveiled what the three amiibo do in Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. Although their gameplay benefits were previously shared at the end of the Overview Trailer, Nintendo have expanded on what you get from each one.
By tapping the Samus amiibo, you can change the background music while riding Vi-O-La in Sol Valley. Once a day, you can activate a shield that will block up to 99 units of damage by tapping the amiibo, and this also fully restores Samus’s energy.
By tapping the Samus & Vi-O-La amiibo, you can change the bike’s color scheme. Once per day, tapping the amiibo increases the regeneration rate of Vi-O-La’s boost energy. Every time you tap the amiibo, you can see the total distance you’ve traveled with the bike.
By tapping the Sylux amiibo, you can see the full versions of cutscenes shown throughout the game once you’ve completed it. However, if you don’t have the amiibo, you can still see these cutscenes by collecting 100% of items and scans. Notably, every time you tap Sylux’s amiibo, you’ll hear a random line from him. Does this mean he’ll speak?
As for what previous Metroid amiibo do when tapped, a random sound will play.
Have you got either of the Samus amiibo? Will you get Sylux’s? Let us know!
