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.

I never said I didn't like the AC games. I've never played them, so I know nothing about the characters, other than Nook & Slider, that is why I'm not interested in the amiibos. I still stand by my observation that Nintendo threw Slider into a three pack with two of the least cared about AC characters. I'm not the only person to make that observation. I've read elsewhere that many others felt the same way.

@gamewizard65

Reese and Cyrus are perhaps some of the newer characters but I wouldn't presume they are the least liked. Cyrus is hard to love so maybe there's a ring of truth. However, K.K. Slider solely being part of the three-pack is clearly a move for cash from Nintendo to move extra amiibo for characters that were less likely to be picked up if all were held separately.

So in other words, I agree with you on what Nintendo did but not that those characters are the least liked.

You should try an AC game sometime. New Leaf is fantastic and probably the best. I do hope we see another console edition soon enough. I'd take handheld again though. I just want me some AC!

@Mop it up Funfact: The Smash Series Kirby Amiibo cannot be used to get the UFO power in Kirby Robobot.

K.K. Slider only comes in a 3-pack? Ug. That explains why I couldn't find him the other night despite there being a whole section of AC Amiibos. He's the one AC character I'd want, but I'm not buying a 3-pack for him.

@Zero

If it makes it any better, it's selling on Amazon new for $18.00. Which is half price. So even if you did that and could gift the others to someone, it'll feel worthwhile.

Animal Crossing 3-Pack on Amazon.com

@pokepal148

That is not a very fun fact!

@DrFinkelstein I don't even pay full price for Amiibos, I'm not going to pay $18 just to get one character!

Besides he isn't at the top of my want list, I just thought I could grab him up in the B1G1 half off sale since the Target selection was limited and seeing all of the AC characters made me think he would be there. But nope, not as a single anyway. So I got ROB as my second, which is a choice I'm happy with but he wasn't at the top of my want list either.

Toon Link, Robin, and I dunno, Mega Man maybe (though I already have a ton of toys of plain blue Mega Man) are at the top of my want list.

Actually though ROB is pretty sweet. I hadn't thought much about him before but now that I have him, I like him.

DAMMIT. I just bought a DIGBY DOUBLE. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

I can't keep track of this crap. I guess I needed -- A 2ND ISABELLE?! WHYYYYY.

DAMN YOU, DIGBY / MAX / CANDRES.

@Mr_Mustache

Nintendo's Isabelle favoritism ruins ANOTHER life! How long will this go until we say that enough is enough??

@TriforceBun

I don't even know what to do with this mongrel. Can I return him? Trade him? My location didn't have a 2nd Isabelle.

Wait wait wait wait WAIT. Digby came in the box?? I'm SO confused right now. Can someone help??

@Zero

That's why I wondered if you had someone who you could gift the others. Then you're paying for all three but doing a good service on the two.

@Mr_Mustache

What do you need help with? Digby and Isabelle came with Amiibo Festival. However now you can get Digby and Isabelle, or I think soon you can, get those separately. Sounds like you just nabbed Digby alone. Did you open it already? Why not just return it?

@DrFinkelstein

Because its part of that 2 for 1 50% off deal. Then its like I didn't get a deal at all. Digby alone looks identical to Digby in box, but the Isabelle you have up there IS different from her pack-in version. I don't know whats going on, I don't know if that version is out yet at all. I'm reluctantly buying these things, and now I'm getting doubles by accident.

@DrFinkelstein But I don't want to help people I want to help myself!

Just kidding, sort of, but money is kind of tight right now so I'm not really looking to buy toys for other people, lol.

@Mr_Mustache One time I returned a game I got in a B2G1 free and they messed up and gave me full credit. Although that probably wouldn't happen if you tried to return this Amiibo BUT YOU NEVER KNOW.

@Zero

For what it's worth I thought maybe like nieces or nephews. No like random Negative Worlders or Craigslisters. But alas, I understand your scenario. No worries.

@Mr_Mustache

Isabelle appears in Series I and III. Which one do you have?

If I were getting my nieces and nephews Amiibo I would get them ones they have actually heard of! But they get the $5 Nintendo figures from me. Those $5 figures have a pretty decent line-up. Not as good as Amiibos, but not bad.

@DrFinkelstein

The one that came with the game. I haven't seen the bottom one yet.

The pose that Digby has up there is the one that I got individually today. Big bummer.

BTW is Midna ever coming as a standalone? That is one I'd definitely want too.

Seems like a long time since they announced a new series. But maybe it's just me.

Today I had to smack a Jigglypuff amiibo out of my wife's hands at Target. The last thing we need is more of those!

It was pretty dang cute, though...

EDIT: Is it not weird that there aren't already like 1000 Pokemon amiibo because they would sell like Poke-hotcakes?

@J.K. Riki
They announced a Kirby series a couple weeks ago. Dedede, Kirby, Meta Knight and Waddle Dee.
I dislike that they're making new amiibo of characters that are already represented, but at least the new Kirby is pretty cute.

As for Pokemon... Man, that would suck!

@ploot

I dunno, I would be interested in a Squirtle amiibo. :)

I must have missed the Kirby announcement. Man... I like Kirby and all, but I feel like he gets uber-represented from Nintendo more than perhaps his popularity would demand? Feels like, anyway, from games to things like this. And does anyone care about Waddle Dee, really? Seems like such a toss-away character to me. Can't say I'm a huge fan of Dedede outside of Brawl in the Family either.

Oh well. Maybe the next wave will be something new or different. Surprised there was no Slippy/Peppy addition for Star Fox Zero's launch. I imagine Zelda U will have at least one or two...
