Amiibo (Nintendo Figurines) - Wallets be Damned, Buying Them All!

Let me guess this straight. If I were to buy the Link figurine, it would work with NFC enabled games that features him like Smash Bros WiiU, Mario Kart 8(DLC), and Legend of Zelda WiiU? It only works with Link and not other characters in the LoZ franchise like Zelda/Shiek?

I will buy Ness amiibos every chance I get whenever his rolls around. I will have a row of Nesses. If they fell over, it would be a mess of Ness.

Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness.

I absolutely do not expect to be able to keep up with a 100% collection long-term, so I'm not going to fall into the trap of buying up the whole first set. But the original, frugal plan of holding out for one and only one figure, preferably the one I want most (Toon Link), is a total bust. I'll be picking up one or two of the first set just to try them out. Yes, just one or two. I'll keep telling myself that.

I mean do you really REALLY want them? Or you're like worried that there might not be enough offered at your store? Then preorder them. There's no harm in preordering what you want to make sure you get it.

Are all the original ones shown being released in the first wave? I need that Marth figurine. So damn nice! Also will likely get Kirby and Fox from that grouping. Can't wait see the other Fire Emblem characters and Shulk! My goodness, I want Shulk!

I'm not begging and pleading, but I would buy some for my studio to display! If anything, i'm not sure if they would sell out quick but I would assume they eventually would. I think i'll go ahead with the best buy deal and pre order them so I can pick them up come release day.

Wouldn't hurt to pre-order just in case.

As I said in Figure GAF, the more complex designs just don't hold up.
Wanted Marth and Link, but they look awful.
Hope Pit turns out ok, but I'm pessimistic.

Pikachu and Kirby are fine, but that's due to their more simplistic designs.

At least I don't have to worry about losing too much.

I'm not even sure if I'll get Smash, but I want Bowser and Bowser Jr. figures if/when they become available. Those magnificent sons of bitches.

Yep - I probably won't wait the gajillion yeas it will take Nintendo to release Ness and Little Mac figures, if they ever do. I'll probably get Samus just so I can have a play around with what's increasingly looking to be the future of Nintendo

I'm thinking about buying one, breaking off the NFC part in the base, using a 3D printer, some paint, and making a Mii one.

Best Buy has them available now. The best part is that your gamers club unlock discount works with the figures. They come up 10.39 each!

Yes! I was hoping the GCU would apply, totally going to do it. Buying all of them

Only issue is they charge right away so I'll probably wait till it's closer to release

I shot people I like more for less.
I preordered the Samus one since that one looks pretty sweet. Probably will get some of the other ones/future ones at some point, but it really depends on the functionality and quality.

Your amiibo will be able to increase its attack and defense stats and even learn new fighting tactics.

This is the most interesting thing for me. Would be cool if they'd actually implemented some machine learning stuff.

pretty sure they said this in the initial vids. Also to your quoted: they learn and adapt to fight styles (same vids).

Yup, they actually grow stronger when fighting other amiibos in comparison to just fighting the in-game CPU.
