Btw I don't know about anywhere else, but Walmart has consistently had the saddest display of amiibo here in Alabama. I don't think I've seen anything outside of peach and donkey kong condensed to one small corner of the game aisle since they were released.

Hey, if anyone needs help getting DK, you're the guy to talk to, it would seem!

what i find most frustrating about amiibos is that the ultra common ones like peach, mario and luigi are getting another wave in a different series. like we don't have enough of them already. -_-

All the places here are just like that.

They all have the same consistently small Amiibo displays with that screen you are supposed to press to learn the art of Amiibos.

Nintendo really are just using smart business tactics that suck for the consumer. I can see them eventually discontinuing the Smash versions and only selling the Mario line. That detail in the fireball ain't cheap!
 
Zelda is a she, wearing a Sheik costume. Sheik may or may not be a she.

If a girl wears a spider-man costume, that doesn't make spider-man a she.

We asked Nintendo if there was an official word on this, and they answered the call. Nintendo's official line, quoted from Nintendo senior product marketing manager Bill Trinen, is this: "The definitive answer is that Sheik is a woman — simply Zelda in a different outfit."

Nope. Sheik is certainly a she. No debate.

Also - I have an extra Fox, Sheik, and Toon Link for trade. Let me know if you're interested since I have absolutely no use for them, and they need to go to a good home!

Yes it does.

A costume does not have a gender. A Spider-man costume is not male. A woman dressed as Spider-man is still a woman.

Zelda disguised as Sheik is still female. Sheik is not a real person, it is a wardrobe change, Sheik is a she.
 
Oddly enough there is one Walmart out in Athens that I pass by that has a HUGE section, but the ones here in Huntsville and Madison have like five or six hooks and that's it.

I still hate myself for not anticipating how much Marth would be worth. The Athens Walmart had like three well into December -_-

Edit: Btw my gf would probably be down for some matches too if we need more people for a full match.
 
who knows, it might? It would be sad for a kid to buy one only for it to be completely useless since he didn't ask his pops to get him that DLC

yea. i guess since amiibos have such a small amount of memory they could do it 2 ways:
1- include a code to dl mewtwo for both the 3ds and wii u or the stupider way(the way that nintendo will do it cause... nintendo is pretty fucking stupid most of the times)
2- require you to scan in the mewtwo amiibo every time you boot up the game if you want to use it.
 
I think Nintendo confirmed Sheik is female since it's Zelda in disguise...blah blah blah...

Zelda is a magic user. She uses magic to transform into a male identity, Sheik. It's an ability in Smash Bros Melee/Brawl, meaning it's likely a spell.
 
Got my Sonic and Bowser today from Amazon. Just waiting for mega man, and then I'm on break until the Ness pre order. I'm not buying all of these, hellllll no.




I already have 9.
 
...so she becomes anatomically male?



In the US yes.

Nintendo says its Zelda in disguise...
Although I can't seem to find the Brawl/Melee reference in the same topic the spell is considered to change her abilities not her gender.

No, she's just in disguise, she doesn't literally change her body and become a male. Nintendo has officially clarified this (honestly not that they needed to, it was obvious). Sheik is not a male, it is a disguise.
 
Hi, I'm a new Amiiboholic.
I planned on only buying a couple but ragebought pretty much all the ones I could find in stores after failing to grab a Rosalina.
GAF, make me stop!
 
Really? I've heard it alot. I always have to correct peiple im glad Nintendo finally said something. I argue Zelda lore alot with people...

I never grew up with anybody that liked Zelda until that changed recently(about a year ago?). So I guess that's probably why.

On the plus side I got Bowser. I got to start getting the team together for Mario Party 10!

So are you also going for the Mario series line of figures with their alternate Bowser ver.?
 
Well, beside Bowser no sign of Sheik or Toon Link in my area. Man I was hoping to grab both at TRU for 2 for $20 deal. I still got nothing coming from amazon either. /sigh

How long until Smash Peach ends up in bargain bins unloved watching other amiibos get sold?
 
USPS fail. it says Toon Link out for delivery and it's almost 11PM. guess it's coming tomorrow morning. USPS is a fucking joke.
 
i was always under the impression that zelda=sheik and zelda=girl so therefore....not sure where people got mixed up in that.

people making things way more complicated than they actually are. i never got the idea she actually turns into a dude physically.

Make you stop? That's not possible. You're screwed. Maybe at one amiibo but since you bought more there's no stopping. Embrace your new found addiction.

I never thought so either however I thought when she's disguised as shiek she does so under the guise of being a male.

The game characters also recognize Shiek as a male - so the viewer is to assume shiek is a male.

No shit it's Zelda in a disguise. However, Zeldas sole purpose is to portray herself as a man to not be recognized as Gannondorf. Just like people who do drag I suppose we know their men in dresses but for that time period their associating themselves as a female.

It's not complicated it's just people's opinions I don't know why their has to be a definitive no this is it!
