Nintendo going after the collector mentality finally.

First there are the Wii Remotes with Mario, Luigi, and Peach (did they ever release Yoshi here?)

Now there are these Amiibo figures...<_>;

Ok nvm I'm not gonna get them all "yet". I preordered these 5.

- Link
- Donkey Kong
- Marth
- Samus
- The Villager

Very neat idea...or a very greedy idea that will abuse my collecting mentality...DAMN IT! :(

You can tell the adult Nintendo fans are the ones buying right now because Marth's above DK hahaha...I expect Peach, Yoshi and Kirby to get a big boost once kids find out about this.

There are Fire Emblem ones? Where!? The only one I saw was Marth.

Or is that all coming later?

Ike, Lucina and Robin will come in amiibos that looks like these :

Wow!

Personally, I'll be getting Villager, Yoshi and Samus.

RIP Wallet, Bank account. ;(

Crap #2 Link

I did not want to pre-order now I am wondering if these will not be sold out for the holiday soon and Amazon does not even sell WiiUs
 
That Samus Amiibo is too beautiful not to get.

Kinda want to get Yoshi too. Be kinda fun to play as Mario training a Yoshi to kick ass.

That's insane.

I remember having a talk with JC Rodrigo from Nintendo at SDCC (You can see us during the interlude on youtube lol) about the possibility of ordering a custom (Smash edition or not) made Mii amiibo for a couple dollars more and he said something to the effect of "I wouldn't say no to it personally. You might be onto something."

So... who's down for a custom mii amiibo if it happens?

This is actually pretty genius. It would probably be a fair more than a couple more dollars, but if it's around the $20-25 price range I would definitely bite. That would be so cool.

Samus, Pikachu and Villager to start...

But I really want Bowser, Jigglypuff, Captain Falcon, Olimar, Ness, ZSS... Damn.
 
Will there be some sort of benefit to purchasing every single amiibo Nintendo pushes out?
Because I made an amazon order for all of the first wave earlier today. May my wallet rip in peace. ;__;

Ladies and Gents, I think we found our savior for the Wii U...

Amiibos! If the games can't sell the console, collectible figures sure as hell can! XD

Anybody know if Amiibos are region free? I have an NA WiiU but it's easier for me to get Amiibos from Japan.

hmmmm better pre order the rest in case of sell outs and shortages , based amazon doesn't charge til shipping

If you pre order them all but close to release you can't buy them all, can you edit the order and only take out the figures you don't want or do you have to cancel the WHOLE order entirely?

I know your question is honest, but sounds ironic somehow =P.

Haha I live in Asia and can't read Japanese so I got an NA WiiU and doing all digital. Shipping from Amazon US to here is a bitch and I travel to Japan often for biz trip so...

I gotta get me the Villager yo!

Ugh seriously? That's terrible. Amazon should really fix this. It would me in the future tremendously.

I want to pre-order them all, but I think I will wait for Holiday deals that are bound to pop up.

Watch my luck, and they are sell out for weeks on end....lol

I don't think it will be that bad.

They should be well aware of Smash Bros's popularity and take that into account for selling amiibos.
