I could see EVERY Amiibo being available for use in Animal Crossing. You could get a statue of that character in your house if you have the Amiibo of it.

Why would you want more stuff locked behind amiibos? Nintendo has been putting out great dlc at reasonable prices, amiibos are expensive microtransactions that are tied to physical objects. Buy an amiibo if you want a little figurine, that's it.

I think the idea is that Amiibos would be cross-game DLC and thus have wider but shallower value than regular DLC. I don't really get the hype over 'em but I'd probably have felt differently if I was 10 or more of a collector.

Until they do a Nintendo version of Skylanders, I doubt very much that Nintendo would lock actual gameplay stuff behind Amiibos. But cosmetic poo poo, like any decoration in your house in Animal Crossing, is perfect for something like Amiibos.

I also remember him melting down on 1up Yours a long time ago because Shane Bettenhausen kept making fun of him for thinking that a one-console market is viable.

Too Human and X-men Destiny actually had to be recalled because they were made with the stolen code. Also, the new totally not Eternal Darkness can't even use the best mechanic from the first game because Nintendo owns the patent for the insanity system.

So hey, my local Best Buy had a Captain Toad demo and I was so hyped to play it, it's fun as hell and looks great, but then the gamepad died on me despite being plugged in right as I was about to collect the Star, and I couldn't play anymore  . I really want that game now.

My favourite Dyack story is about how the X-Men Legends team had to demo a crappy unplayable level for him and his only response was to chew them out for twenty minutes because there was a grey truck in one of the scenes and grey trucks are loving stupid and they should totally paint it red, and from that moment on the team used the term "paint the truck" to refer to any of Dyack's stupid requests.

Can someone explain to me what the gently caress an Amiibo is? It's a statue that has some sort of chip in it, but...what exactly does buying one gain you? I've got Smash Bros 3DS & will be picking it up for the WiiU, have MK8 and have unlocked everything in those games already...what does buying one of these figurines do for me that isn't already in the game?

Amiibos is Smash function as a trainable AI partner that you can fight with/against, level up, pit against your friends, etc. If that doesn't sound fun to you, don't buy one. No-one knows what they'll do in Mario Kart or any other game that supports them.

Astro7x posted:You can train your Amiibo in Smash Bros to level them up to Level 50, beyond level 9 of a regular CPU character. The character will become smarter the more you use it/train it. You can then use your Amiibo as an advanced CPU opponent in Smash Bros, or as a partner in team battles. I think always having a local opponent around that's much harder than the normal CPU makes it worth it especially if you get one like Link or Mario. Wanting these figures to work for more than 2 or 3 games each is unrealistic though especially with the less popular figures. I mean if they do that's great but I don't think that's what they're going for. Edit: Do we know the msrp for these guys? Edit 2: Yea quick Google says these things are only $13 so if I get Link and he works with at least 2 games I'm content. davey4283 fucked around with this message at 05:21 on Oct 31, 2014 |

Im guessing the same thing as in smash: Mario amiibo in MK8 will control a racer and be tougher than the regular AI, Link amiibo in hyrule warriors will be a co-op partner, same with Yoshi in wooly world. Just better ais to co-op or compete against in multiplayer games.

So where have you guys been pre-ordering smash+bundles? Apparently they are exclusive to EB games in  and they are completely sold out already citywide. I've literally never used amazon before either.

Just got to Chapter IX on Bayonetta, and I've notice a couple things. I'd only played to Chapter V on the PS3 version, but the Wii U version feels like an entirely different game. Not to be hyperbolic, but it feels like the encounters were remixed and moved around, and I'm sure the improved framerate helps. Also, Grace and Glory is the best part of the game so far, and after chasing down a couple Lp shards, I keep going back to that level, because man are they fun. Every level before that, it felt like I was trapped into doing whatever the game wanted, with the platform hopping boss fights, but these guys, it felt like I was playing W101 for a second. Had headphones in, and I was dodging on sound alone, had to pause I was laughing, it was so awesome. Bayonetta owns, and you're an idiot if you haven't played it, or you have and didn't like it. W101 is still better so far, though. bushisms.txt fucked around with this message at 08:13 on Oct 31, 2014 |

I've been thinking about this Amiibo thing, and I def think I'll be picking up Luigi. His statue is funny-enough, and it is a good excuse to try out some of those modes in Smash Wii U. If it ends up being stupid, at least I'll have his goofy rear end as an interesting desk toy.

I don't think I'll be picking one up, but Yoshi is probably the best one to grab. He gets in to a lot of mario games, any gamble with an ensemble cast and has his own game coming out.
