amiibo is certainly turning out to be a big thing in Nintendo's eyes. Whether or not the rewards for utilizing each amiibo is worthy to you, Nintendo plans to implement all sorts of bonuses. It appears right now that every amiibo is meant to do 'something' in each game though games not featuring certain characters may have more limited uses or lesser-valued ones. We've had plenty of threads on here for amiibo and I'm sure that will continue. Still, I wanted to establish a general discussion thread that doesn't have a specific focus or thought. We'll also use this thread for informing the forums about upcoming news regarding new waves of amiibo or new compatibility. Enjoy! Tell us which amiibo you're planning to get! To get the party started, here are the various waves of amiibo on their way, compatibility information from Nintendo's website, and various links to other threads regarding amiibo. Known amiibo

So I'm at Target, doing my usual thing. I stroll through video games, cause why not. I glance at their anemic amiibo section, notice it's full, see the usual suspects. I notice Bowser. Very cool. I notice Toon Link. Even cooler! Hey look, it's Rosalina, thrice.
WHAT!!!
With none of the exclusives locked up yet, I was way more excited than I should have been. I grabbed a Bowser, Toon Link, and all 3 Rosalinas, and make my way to checkout. As soon as Toon Link is scanned, the dreaded 'do not sell until 2-01' message pops up on her screen. So close!!! She calls to electronics to have them pulled off the shelf. A security guy comes and collects the amiibo. Sad face.
But wait, there's more!
The security guy came back and told me that since it was their fault that they were on the shelf, I can put the ones I was trying to buy on hold til Sunday. I said 'Really!?! All of them?' He said yup, I said okay. So I may currently have a Bowser, Toon Link, and 3 Rosalinas waiting for me on Sunday. If this works out well (I'm very cautious in my optimism), I may have a couple Rosalinas to trade. Rob gets dibs on one if he wants since he already did me a solid. But we'll see. Fingers and toes tightly crossed. Sundays gonna be such a stupid day with me hitting several stores early in the morning, all for these dumb amiibos. |
