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

My journey is ever more stupid. My Toysrus order from the other day is as follows... 1 Zelda, 2 Little Macs, 1 Pit, 1 Diddy Kong, 1 Sonic, and 1 Ike. The last two aren't due to release till February. The rest are due this month. After seeing Zelda in Toysrus today and not picking it up, I wondered what the possibility was (if need be) to cancel just that item from my online order. This was after merely wondering if the Ike and Sonic would somehow hold up the order since they aren't set to release yet...like some glitch where they wouldn't ship the December ones on time (thus running out of stock when it came time to get the last two). First of all... most of these amiibo I purchased on there two nights ago are flat out missing from the website now. Sonic doesn't show up in the amiibo listing but can be direct-linked through my order. So that's unsettling. Second of all... 20 minutes of idle wait music then another 20 minutes of a thick Indian accent made for a stressful call. She kind of answered my questions but she did nothing but confirm, "We don't know what the hell is going on, so... hopefully the warehouse has what you're looking for and that you actually get the item...because there may be no stock at all anyway despite your order." This sucks major donkey balls. She said she'd cancel items from my order if they ship and I bought them from the stores so maybe I'll just have to pick these up as I see them anyway. While a lot of this is for me, the other Little Mac is for my nephew who freakin' loves Little Mac in smash. I want to surprise him with one for Christmas and this is making me weary... as is kgtennispro's tale of douchery at the Target today. @Paleo_OrcaI asked the same question earlier myself,... Nintendo needs to just take orders and have a run to fulfill those orders. Why not? |

@ludist210Oh good!, glad you got one. I'm gonna check Toys R Us again tomorrow, and then make my way towards our Target. Might be checking some other stores later in the night, too. Sounds like we're lucking out for the most part though, yeah? @kgtennisproThose aren't even supposed to be out yet.. I talked to my co-worker (who also works at GameStop), and she told me that 3 of them were expected early next week, with the other 3 being delayed until later in the month. Something to think about, you'll be good, brother. @ludist210Yeah, this has potential to be deadly. I was thinking today; "you know, I can probably get one a week and be fine, its ONLY 13 dollars.." But do I need 40 of these things? Heck, NO. @DrFinkelsteinWhat the Fudge, the 2nd Wave IS out already? ARGH. I'm wasting my week at home! Tomorrow could be dangerous.. |

@DrFinkelsteinWhy are you still doing the online thing?? I though I/we convinced you to reserve in a store, and then just go pick it up. Whats the story, hombre? Toys R Us is far behind? How do you mean? I seriously think your guys' cities are ""weird"" compared to the Rochester gig so far. Target has had the goofy ones, Toys R Us, I've seen EVERYTHING on their shelves (though Villager, Marth, WFT, and Yoshi weren't there early Day 1). GameStop, Best Buy, Wal-Mart; terrible variety so far, pretty much just the coriest of the core figures. But again, I go to GameStop ("Game" is in the stores name! Its their thing!) so who knows. And every thing I've ever ORDERED / RESERVED from GameStop has come in, on Day 1, unopened, unfettered. Sorry (again) to everyone who has had bad experiences with them. |
