How do they horn amiibo support into Mario Maker? And how mad will people be when it happens?

I'm hoping if they do it that you can scan one of the Mario characters to be able to play as them in the level or something. Would be sweet

Or you know have a Koopaling amiibo set come out with it and scanning them lets you add them in the game.

Basically just give me Koopaling stuff Nintendo come on

Easy: Each amiibo adds a new song to use in your levels.

I don't see any characters or sprites making it in or else it wouldn't be Mario Maker. Music may be pushing it too but I think its the most likely. Tho really I could see no Amiibo support as shocking as that sounds.

I managed to order Charizard and another Wario from Gamestop.com. My sister has two Wario Amiibo now, one to open and one to keep in display (she has a strange love for Wario), and then the Charizard is for my other sister (she mains him in Smash).

Wonder if more Amiibo will slowly be going up on Gamestop...

Still don't see Palutena up for preorder on amazon (in the US), should I just go with the guaranteed pricier foreign option instead of waiting for Palutena to sell out in 2 seconds in the US?

If you don't care about the non-US box, probably. the few extra bucks are certainly worth the piece of mind of actually getting her.

or you can wait for the flood coming in the holidays ;)

Pac-Man, Charizard, Silver Mario, standalone Inklings and Tripack are available everywhere in Peru. I'll get Pac-Man later this week since it's the only one I'm missing from Wave 4.

I saw those on eBay but have serious doubts about their quality. They basically just stick to the wall right? Do they feel sturdy? I'd be worried about the sticky part losing stickyness and it falling off...

Interview with Disney Infinity exec producer:
http://disneyinfinitycodes.com/john-vignocchis-game-informer-podcast-interview-recap/

One interesting question from the interview:
Q: Given the turbulent release of Amiibo characters, are you doing anything to prepare for the high demand for Star Wars figures?

A: There is never an intention to create a shortage of any figures. It is irresponsible and rude to your hard core fans. They don’t want to create frustration or the hunt. So they will be stocking the shelfs well!
Click to expand...
Shots fired?

Also interesting is he mentions that Kingdom Hearts characters could be in Disney Infinity. I would probably get those, the figures at least.

When I was at TRU with my mom shopping I showed her the Disney Infinity stuff and she was amazed at how good some of them looked. She grew up with Mickey Mouse being huge and still loves a lot of that stuff so I respect her opinion. It's been a fully stocked section with tons of different ones available whenever I've been at a store that sells them. In a year or two when amiibo support is in every game the artificial scarcity will subside after Nintendo has already made tons of money.

If KH characters come to Disney Infinity I'm probably buying them all.

I feel ole Jeff on the latest Bombcast brought up a good point. This is likely a lot of growing pains for Nintendo who's getting into a new business. Skylanders were the same way when they launched, sold out all over. But as activision got better at and more attuned to their new business things leveled out. I'd imagine within another year the whole amiibo craziness will be a thing of the past.

Or they'll be making other series of Amiibos and everything will be super fucked.

I have two Inkling Girl amiibo, and I'm going to return one...

One has a great paint job but the seam at the head is imperfect and doesn't look too good. The other has a much better head seam but the paint job has some problems, like a bit of green randomly splattered where it shouldn't be.

what to do....

You'll probably have a full 5 seconds to order her on Amazon.

Build quality is very solid. The sticky part is just Scotch double sided thick adhesive tape. Seems to be working really well. But I recommend them, they looks awesome. I didn't get them on eBay, went through the etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/PlateletCaseDesignz

Does Gamestop cancel a lot of orders after they're placed? Managed to snag Ness but wondering if I should even get excited.
Click to expand...

I can only speak from my own experience, but I've never had GameStop cancel an order of mine, even for highly in-demand items like Amiibos. You're more than likely safe. :)

For those of you who weren't able to get Ness in time, I was able to snag an extra and am willing to trade, depending on what you have to offer. :)

Hahaha I know, but I wanted the order to stay on my account for future reference. Oh well, at least I finally got one. Jesus, as soon as the Page Monitor noticed a change, I clicked through all those menus like nothing.
