Secret Monado arts Jump and Smash!?

That's just wild guess work on my part though.

Special token (also obtainable through StreetPass) that lets you get things in Collection mode (model viewer)

It replaces all of Shulk's in-game dialogue with "I'm really feeling it!", even in the cutscenes. :heh:

Yep. Same here. Utter cunts. My first missed amiibo. Shock horror it's game who let me down.

 

So what's the best place for getting these. Game on launch day?

Nintendo UK Store will undoubtedly do a restock on launch day so keep your eye on there

Always buy from Nintendo UK store

 

I do, but they're usually a little later than others to get them up, and they sell out quickly so I pick some scragends from game.

And then they get cancelled because they never had them to pre-order in the first place.

Exactly. Aggravating... Need to be quicker off the mark with Nintendo!

I much prefer that Wario amiibo to the Smash one. The Rosalina one though is nothing without her Luma.

 

Though obviously I'll still buy all three. Damn you Nintendo.

Nope... sticking to my 'no doubles on display' rule despite preferring retro styled Wario. :heh:

Old-school Wario is cool, but WarioWare Wario is AWESOME!! :awesome:

So yeah, Smash Bros. Wario amiibo for me. :)

1 ups is the last thing you need in toad :) though I guess what else could they have done...

 

mario/luigi/peach etc. Could have had their own little treasure hunts.

But 1ups is far easier and cheaper to implement.

Yeah, I remember all of us were dreaming about themes levels...

Really? I don't think anything could be easier/cheaper than replacing the "Pixel Toad" with pixel versions of all other amiibo. :blank:

But Nintendo probably think keeping that feature exclusive to the Toad amiibo will help it sell...

It won't though. Not to me anyway. :heh:

scan amiibo = lives +1

 

Having to find a different pixel art character could be done I suppose, but it would be better to have those characters appear in a different place.. afaik the toad pixel art will always remain in the same place in a level. If it moves each time, then sure I agree they should have allowed pixel art to include all mario series amiibo.

amiibo sales broken down per region.

 

33l.jpg

 

US & Canada = 63%

Europe = 23%

Japan = 11%

Australia = 3%

 

Which reaffirms my previously stated view that Japan aren't as interested in amiibo.

 

Nintendo are to bundle NES/SNES/Wii U games with amiibo. They will only be demos and will only be available to play for a certain limited period of time.

 

Link is the most popular amiibo worldwide everywhere except Australia. Mario is the number 1 there.

 

amiibo with the highest sell-through rate:

 

US = Marth

JPN = Captain Falcon

EUR = Little Mac

Australia = Ike

 

There's a pile of info coming through regarding amiibo. Iwata has said he didn't expect the scalper situation. This is all coming from the rescheduled investor meeting.

 

The top 10 best selling amiibo per region.

Interesting facts, thanks for that @Wii !

 

I guess a start for a solution for the scalper situation might be: manufacture the same total for every amiibo for the first two months.

That way it takes longer for scalpers to figure out which amiibo will be more sought after.

 

It's really frustrating...

They did say they're planning to make more!! I guess it's all just much more popular than they though it would be.

 

I presume the NES/SNES games will just be the masterpieces from Smash Bros but in a specific app, which would be disappointing.
