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

Anyone here able to visit BestBuy that morning to help get a Meta Knight for @Beardednerd? Remember though man, I have a japanese one set to ship in July from Japan... it's yours for $26.57 USD. That's how much I'll have paid for it. Not cheap but... save a few pennies between now and then? The exchange rate is more in your favor now than it has been this year too! Pay in advance to save! lol :-P As for @Mr_Mustache's planning... That's not really a horrible plan. Just go in order of desire/rareness. If you have a Greninja reserved then you probably don't need to go there first, no? They won't sell it if you've already paid for it. Why won't Nikki help? Perhaps go Best Buy or Target first over TRU in light of the pre-order. As for reserving Meta Knight, I do not think he is pre-orderable now. There's just apparently stock to be had. I wonder if the stock will be significant too with Jigglypuff apparently going to be well stocked and I heard a rumor that one TRU is getting 52 Greninja... so shit, I might have a shot even. Maybe Meta Knight follows suit. |

My line of thinking:
-Toys R Us (for the last wave) got a few in beyond reserves; hopefully I can get my Greninja and some others, possibly a rare 1 or 2 if I'm close enough in line (I should be.....) -GameStop sounds COMPLETELY reserved out. I'm going to stop in there today and flirt with the new female manager. We already have rapport built on one afternoon and two phonecalls. So, unless something wild happens, or they magically are able to reserve some for me (where there are none?), this will be my last stop, and I'll be picking up my reserved copy of Splatoon at this point -Best Buy's selection has been balls lately. With the exception of Meta Knight (which you're telling me they should have), there is no other reason for me to go here, going by past experiences. I don't think I've bought ANY Amiibo from Best Buy yet. Whats that tell ya? -Target seems like a good bet, but I got burned / BUMMED by Rosalina at my home store (redeemed by one 20 minutes away), so I expect it to be feverish again, especially with 'Puff in there. And if Plooter is right, there should be Plenty of Puff to go around? -I think I can deploy Nikki to one store, but I'm not sure which. She's also not going to get somewhere at 6a as I'm prepared to be out. If I can pick up some reserve slips while its still dark out, or just getting light, I will.
I'm stopping at all of these stores on Friday to find out what their plans are. Dig it. (Surprise GameStop midnight release is the ULTIMATE BEST CASE SCENARIO.) |
