Rumour: Gold and Silver Mario amiibo on the way?

thecouncil said:
I know Nintendo said the Club Nintendo Gold / Platinum prizes would be digital only, but, this is Nintendo and nothing they ever do or say makes sense, so I still kinda feel like this is somehow linked to Club Nintendo.

I'd even wager it will be revealed in March as rewards you can purchase with coins.

They'll find a way to screw their fans over.

Club Nintendo does that best.

Oh god, that would be just like them to announce that after everyone used their coins.
 
I do think this a bit overkill. I'm glad I decided I'm only buying one of characters I like. 4 different Mario amiibo this soon is pushing it....
 
Man, you can't make this stuff up. They'll probably release ten of these things at random locations and people will fist fight each other over them.

Good just do stupid pallets swaps to appease the collector fan base. There's no reason stuff from the normal product line needs to be so exclusive "just because"

They skipped the Super Smash Bros Mario and made these after the Mario Party version.

Guessing it's a special promotion when Mario Party 10 comes out.
 
Because it's the exact same model as the Mario Party 10 one, I imagine many a scalper just painting the normal version silver / gold and selling it at a premium under false assumptions. Very cool... very cool...

The packaging would be a lot harder to fake, and I can't imagine that for what appears to be some kind of a chase variant that there's much of a market for loose ones. Not to say that you couldn't make a decent chunk of change with that scam, but it wouldn't be anywhere close to a sealed, genuine article.
 
They're trying so hard to replicate the success of Skylanders and Disney Infinity that it reeks of desperation. Might as well milk it while you still can, I guess.

Coming soon to a Toys 'R' Us near you: Crystal Mario™!

Haha, Mario looks as if he got the Hand of Midas treatment (Tomb Raider). His eyes are saying "It's a me, Mario... Get me out of here!!! Halp!!!"

They're releasing 2 per state.

With how bad stock has been, this actually sounds accurate! I'm so glad I only want to complete the Smash line. I couldn't handle collecting EVERY amiibo. Especially with rare palette swaps like this. Those collecting every single Amiibo are incredible people.

I envy you :)

didn't know that "w-ord" was ban worthy?

Nope, I didn't. At least the last thread in the subject ended with no bans on words.
In case that was a question.

On a more serious note, I sympathize with the annoyance at threads at times being derailed because of the way some people express excitement. The problem runs far deeper than words though. So banning any superficial thing is not going to really solve it. We do not encourage threads where people want to just talk about a game being derailed into "list my favorite virtual girlfriends" by a few users, but sometimes it happens anyway. In the same way, we don't encourage news threads or movie threads turning into "Omg these women are so hot I cannot control myself from posting about what I want to do to them!" threads. It's generally embarrassing, but it becomes increasingly harder to moderate consistently due to the volume of the forum. Just because you might see it happen in a thread, does not mean we condone it.

tl;dr - We're not going to ban waifus, but we would appreciate it if people kept their waifu battles to themselves, unless they're playing Dengeki Fighting Climax, then I guess waifu ranking actually matters. :P

But I digress, and I'll stop talking about this now.

Isn't just so weird how companies try and do things that make a profit?


I would like to get my hand on a gold one, and a pink gold peach would be awesome.

I don't think they ever said it will be digital only. They said you can choose digital prizes but never said that physical prizes wouldn't be included. Could be written that way to give them room to determine if to use these as prizes as well or not.

Somehow I felt that this silver/gold amiibo will be winning prizes from any Nintendo-organized tournaments instead of selling to mass market.

:3 :3

I don't think they'd have sell sheets if they weren't being intended for general sale. Granted, if they are chases, then "general sale" is a very operative term, but it's still something that the mass market will have a chance of getting for themselves through largely normal means.
 
Mario's pose for that Mario Party Amiibo is like he's saying 'look at all this shit'
If this was a Club Nintendo award and I could afford it...... I would.
What if they make the silver one cheaper than the gold one. The gold one would become an ebay masterpiece.
 
hmmm. My club nintendo account is platinum. So, now do I start up a separate account and get it to gold so I can get both...just in case?

yea, I really don't believe these will be CN awards tho

Has this been followed up on?:

http://attackofthefanboy.com/news/mario-party-10-mario-amiibo-will-timed-exclusive-bundle/

However, now it has been leaked that the new Mario amiibo is going to be a timed exclusive to that vary bundle.

People started to wonder if this might be exclusive for awhile, as the rest of the line was able to be pre-ordered, but some figured it was just a mistake. While the bundle cannot be ordered yet, the listing was just put up on Amazon according to amiibo Inquirer and had the following description:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00S7O6R9O/?tag=neogaf0e-20

“For a limited time, the only way to play with the Mario Party Mario amiibo included!”

Why would they make the regular Mario amiibo time limited and then have a Silver and Gold edition as well?

These Silver/Gold Marios may not be available to the large market if they are currently making consumers purchase the limited edition Mario Party 10 just to get the regular Mario.

If like last year, Platinum can choose from any reward compared Gold which was limited.

I know. What if each color is a separate reward choice though? And you can only pick one of them if you have one platinum account?

e.g., Gold status allows choice of gold amiibo or a selection of digital rewards. Platinum status gives all those reward choices in addition to more expensive digital reward selections and the silvery/platinum amiibo as a choices as well.
 
Another Mario? Great!
Where the fuck is my Rosalina, Nintendo? I hate you so much >:(
 
as sad as i may sound, i think the way people get anal over these things is funny. this just adds more fuel to the fire :p i do like the gold one tho, it does look pretty cool
 
I've seen that there's the amiibo-specific party mode in MP10, but how does it work exactly? Is it worth getting a MP amiibo for that mode or will the Mario amiibo from Smash also work fine? I'd prefer to not have to buy anymore if I can just use the one I got.
 
Personally, the silver would be the closest thing we'd get to Metal Mario, so that'd be my choice if they gave me the option.

I hope it is a gift for elite members, because it'd be idiotic to set these as normal rewards @ 800+ when most of us have already spent our coins.
 
Nintendo, please stop milking us. You are going too far.

Edit: I seriously think Nintendo is trying to milk their most loyal fanbase, and that's not cool.
