syntheticgerbil Posted September 2, 2015 I just want one for the extra levels. I hope I don't have to pay scalper prices for a cheapo plastic toy I don't exactly want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dartmonkey Posted September 11, 2015 I love the packaging and artwork for Super Mario Maker, but that pixel/voxel amiibo is big and ugly. My bank balance is thankful for this. Interestingly, I've noticed that here in Spain all the new Disney Infinity 3.0 figures have a big white sticker on the side saying they are distributed by Nintendo Iberica.

aprettycooldude Posted November 12, 2015 Hey a game that focuses solely on amiibo is out tomorrow (It is Animal Crossing). It looks medium-boring, but will probably be slightly less friend-killing than Mario Party, and easier to play if one is inebriated. Also, the amiibo are super cute! I bought all of them, and will post pictures tomorrow. In case you are wondering how much the game matters vs. the amiibo, this is literally what Aya Kyoguku (franchise director) said in an interview a few months back. "Initially when the Amiibo was announced, there was nothing really said about Animal Crossing Amiibos or any plans for that matter. But as the Animal Crossing team, we were confident that if there was one, it would be really cute… honestly, we just wanted Animal Crossing Amiibo. We wanted the company to make Animal Crossing Amiibo, so that’s why we made a game that works with them." Points for honesty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikemariano Posted November 15, 2015 I don't own a Wii U so I'm not sure why I did this. Should I: 1) Give it to my nieces for Christmas—who also do not have a Wii U? 2) Open it and hug it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jennegatron Posted November 15, 2015 HUG IT! HUG IT! HUG IT!(I bought a Roald from Animal Crossing Amiibo card off ebay last night because i love him so much even though I don't a WiiU) I also bought a Jigglypuff amiibo before I owned SSB or there was amiibo capabilities for the 3DS so I may be giving bad advice.

jennegatron Posted November 16, 2015 I want Mabel real bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aprettycooldude Posted November 16, 2015 Someone did a Sable custom and it's equally incredible. http://imgur.com/a/t7m4n There are some generic shared events between characters (Today I went shopping!), but each one also has unique character-focused events as well. Mabel's got one where she and Labelle buy a new sewing machine for Sable, Tom Nook has one where he teaches his kids how to bleed people dry, K.K. gets recognized in the club... The whole thing is super cute, is what I'm saying here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dewar Posted November 16, 2015 Dang it, my wife really wants an Isabel Amiibo, and now I somehow missed when they announced a release date. Edit: Oh, only with the whole game huh.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dewar Posted November 17, 2015 I decided to import some other official figures from Japan instead and see what quality they are. http://www.play-asia.com/animal-crossing-soft-vinyl-figure-totakeke-and-shizue/13/707qq9 Might still buy the single Amiibo from Japan so I don't have to waste money on the game when I don't have a Wii-U. http://www.play-asia.com/amiibo-animal-crossing-series-figure-shizue-winter-clothes/13/708x77 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aprettycooldude Posted December 22, 2015 Well, your tag is "Fake Gamer Guy," so it all checks out. I'm curious how they're going to fit two extra characters in there; current space dictates they really only have room for one more in that bottom row, and that extra character will throw everything off. They're going to end up with 59 total slots including random, so there's no way one row doesn't end up weird. 15,15,15,14? My display is going to be a disaster :S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sno Posted December 22, 2015 I may have resorted to importing certain amiibos from Japan.Those things aren't region locked, i guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aprettycooldude Posted December 23, 2015 ooooh which ones? And yeah, they're not. A good chunk of mine are imported. Off the top of my head: Rosalina & Luma, Palutena, DeDeDe - Europe (from n1njasquirrel) Robin (Reflet), Lucina, Ness, Ike, Pit, Wario, Charizard (LIZARDON), Wii Fit Trainer, Meta Knight - Japan All of my Animal Crossing, Splatoon, Yarn Yoshi, and the Toad from the Super Mario line are US. The rest are also US. A lot of the ones I imported were retailer exclusive and/or never reprinted. Rosalina was Target-only, Palutena was Amazon-only, Ness was Gamestop-only. To my knowledge, DeDeDe and Ness still haven't been reprinted in the US. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
