amiibo (NFC)

Recommended Posts

£20-30 for the same single player missions just with a different weapon? I think it makes more sense to consider the game to be £30 and the amiibo's unlocking minor challenge missions.

 

I got the game without amiibo for £20. It doesn't make sense to me to pay £10 extra for the game to make me feel the amiibos cost me less than they actually would...

Well, I'm starting to hear more about Amiiqo lately, any one here both one or interested? Sounds like it'll be somewhat future proof, not exactly sure how Nintendo can counteract it but it'll be pretty handy to circumvent what essentially is figure-locked dlc

Yup, its mention in this topic a short while back in fact caused a mini tremor. :heh:

to be honest i'm all for it, with special editions coming with Amiibo's that aren't sold separately, which are in limited numbers/cost prohibitive, it provides an alternative

I'm sort of perversely enjoying the spectacle of amiibo as it evolves into one huge, morbid social experiment to discover just how far they can go with it. It's quite entertaining.

Remember this a few pages back...

 

I wonder what's going on with Falco.. He's the only one of this wave I want!

 

Delayed, so he can be bundled with Starfox Zero. :heh:

 

I'm calling it now. ;)

 

Starfox Zero coming out November 20th

Falco amiibo coming out November 20th

 

Hmmm... :indeed:

The Animal Crossing amiibo look really good. Looking forward to Mega Yarn Yoshi too!

It's been nice to have had a bit of a quiet period without spending too much on these things! Back on the amiibo train this autumn, though - I've got my sights set on Falco, Chibi Robo, Nook, Isabelle and KK Slider before the end of the year...

Yarn Yoshi Big will cost ¥4,000 in Japan. So that's about £92,8362 here, right?

Och, I'm sure it'll be rounded up to a nice even £100k.

... the Shovel Knight Smash Bros rumour can't be real... surely?

 

The rumour of Shovel Knight in Smash was because the Amiibo existed.

 

If anything, this packaging suggests that Shovel Knight isn't in Smash Bros.

 

Edit: Also, the chances of a Yooka-Laylee Amiibo just shot up.

Yeah I suppose, but I can't imagine it JUST being used for Shovel Knight right now (I know that it's due to be used in future YCG games, but I would imagine that it wouldn't be put out JUST to be used in Shovel Knight right now...)

 

Still, Shovel Knight as the first 3rd Party Amiibo? Crazy! Can't believe that YCG could get it pulled off! What a success for them!!

 

Also, the chances of a Yooka-Laylee Amiibo just shot up.

 

If this is real, then I'd say it's almost a dead cert. No way would both parties not be chomping at the bit for it!

 

Edit: Tweet has been deleted, so it's almost certainly real! :D

 

Congrats to Yacht Club Games!! Can't believe that you guys made it happen! :D

 

Here's a higher res picture of the box (comes out on Nov 27 BTW)
