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

I feel pretty ripped off. GameStop secures Ness as their only amiibo. Great. But then they post the exact time that you can preorder him online, so...okay, good! Hundreds (thousands?) of people thus try to preorder online at the promised time, the site blows up for 3 hours and nothing works for anyone. GameStop later says "we're just doing them in-store now." Great. So where does this leave all the online-preorder people? SOL, that's where. While we were trying to get the amiibo at the promised time, we were losing our chance to get them in store because GameStop arbitrarily shut down one of the venues to get it. Now the site has none AND the stores have none. And nobody's going to get in trouble for this or anything. They just said "oops, oh well" and continue on, having screwed over a ton of people in the process. This is yet another reason why I never go to GameStop. Couldn't any other amiibo that wasn't Ness be exclusive there!? EDIT: This article sheds some light on the situation. Really shady business practices. Ugh, I hate this place. Guess my only other option is trading away my Golden Mario amiibo for Ness sometime in the future, because no way am I paying off some jerkwad scalper. |
