General amiibo Discussion Thread
 
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.

@Mr_Mustache
Apparently they had a limit of 1 per customer this time around, so at least there's that.

The whole thing is just a big mess, though.

Anyone trying to get Greninja today?
04/27/15, 15:16   
I'll take that as a No. I tried but was unsuccessful. Probably like 30th in line when they only had 20 pre-order tickets. A bummer indeed. I had to take care of stuff this morning, like a good adult, and didn't get to go super early like the first ten folks. Blah!

Joe (Ninsage) linked to me on Twitter this unfortunately accurate Wario Ware D.I.Y. mini-game series that explains the struggle of amiibo hunting...

Yarn Yoshi's and Palutena up at Amazon UK!
04/29/15, 15:42   
Apparently Dark Pit and Zero Suit Samus were up as well. No longer though. Closed up shop quickly.

I hope my Smash Yoshi works with Woolly World. Though I'll probably be tempted to get a Yarn Yoshi anyways.

Love that microgame, lol

@anon_mastermind

I'm pretty sure it should.

Wave 5 amiibo popped back up on Amazon UK!

@DrFinkelstein

By the looks of it, they're gone already.

Sonic has now joined my Smash 4 custom move/part farming factory.

@pokepal148

How does that work? Do you put a bunch of Amiibo in a match overnight and reap the rewards?

@Hero_Of_Hyrule

Unfortunately these alerts of mine in the thread are only really good for maybe 5 minutes because of how fast these things go, and that's if I can post right when it happens. I was able to at work today keep an eye out. U.S. ones to follow eventually of course.

@pokepal148

Yeah, how do you mean?

@DrFinkelstein
I'm finally catching up on the podcasts and I listened to your epic amiibo rant. As you know, I agree with you 100%.
I wish this thread could be more positive, but Nintendo isn't allowing it, dag nabbit.

@ploot

Glad you're catching up on the podcasts!

And you're right though. We spend more time complaining about the search, or discussing the search, than we do about the things themselves.

Perhaps that's because functionality isn't too deep or because it's so damn hard to get these. I wish we could just chat about the paint jobs and design and how much we like them but it easily gets trumped.

Oh, sorry. I SUCCESSFULLY reserved Greninja. Got the TRU time wrong, showed up an hour earlier than I meant to. 3rd in line, told they handed out some slips before we got there. 10 rolled around, and I got the last one. Yikes..

@Mr_Mustache

Lucky man! I don't think anyone else has reserved him here. I'm eagerly looking for my next chance... wherever that may be...
05/01/15, 05:11   
@Hero_Of_Hyrule pretty much. My current setup gets me lots of equipment, a custom move or two, some trophies and some Mii hat or something from each one.

Yesterday during the Yooka-Laylee fun, I managed to secure an Amazon UK pre-order for the Pink Yoshi amiibo for Yoshi's Woolly World.

All three colors are locked in. Feeling good about that.

I managed to snag a "Rockman" Amiibo for $13.21 plus shipping. I think I did pretty well there.
