I took that amiibo survey. I told them it'd be cool if each amiibo had a little sound byte play every time it was NFC-scanned. I want a Yoshi that says Yoshi! every time I scan it, and perhaps that taking-a-poo poo straining sound when I throw it across the room.

I hope Nintendo makes one of their upcoming retail games require Energy Pack purchases to play longer than 10 minutes, so that jivjov can explain to people why Nintendo is just following the market

That's about the point Nintendo would be losing me too. I mean, if they had a mobile gaming presence with a wide variety of games and one of them had a timer cool down governing gameplay, i could go with it, but something like that on wii U or 3DS would be pretty ridiculous.

So since Nintendo is all about "You're better off using one of those wii lan adapters!" for Smash and my wifi has been spotty as of late, I figure I get one. But since they stop making the official ones, I'm stuck looking for 3rd party stuff.

If anyone here bothered getting one at some point, which one is worth buying or will it really matter which one I buy in the long run since it's just a drat lan adapter.

Mii Plaza games are cooldown-based but you recharge stamina bu going outside and meeting people.

Rusty's Real Deal Baseball is a microtransaction-based game but you can choose to ruin Rusty's life instead of your own so it's actually super ethical.

You can just buy any old LAN adapter and it'll do the job perfectly fine.

Also, I do love how often people literally just tell people that have a negative opinion about something Nintendo is doing that they should just have their own thread (which I don't think exists right now). Where else on here is that a thing people say? It's weird and a little sad to demand a positive echo chamber.

I haven't read any of the posts after this, but I wasn't saying "negative opinions need to leave," just this loving endless bickering on the same subjects that come up on a weekly basis at minimum, it seems. Has it even been a week since this info was released? Because we've already had a long fight (mostly of jivjov vs a few others) and now the complaints (and jivjov) are starting anew and...agh.

I think people who think they are entitled to something for free don't have any room to talk about the value of it.

But I realized by "leaked" they may not have meant pirated copies, but a review copy person talking early or streaming on twitch, which is legitimate.

Falling through the geometry as a result of lovely half-done level design is not the same as glitching through the floor

Just one more thing!
Catching up on the thread and reading about Amiibos and piracy, I now really want to see someone torrent 3d printer information for an Amiibo, use it with their 3d printer, spend hours painting it into a perfect copy, and then of course not be able to actually scan it and get mad.


Unrelated, I am glad to know we now have a release date for the first batch of MK8 DLC. I recently finished unlocking all the normal characters so this is well-time to keep things fresh.

Zorchin' some Flemoids

Kind of a weird retailer based question, but one Target in my area has Bayonetta 2, but no Pikmin 3 in stock, and another target has no Bayonetta 2, but like 10 Pikmin 3 in stock. Both had Tropical Freeze and Hyrule Warriors in stock. Is there any way to have one store transfer a copy of the game to another? Or do I have to search around for a store that has all three games that I want?

Oh, and I know I want Pikmin 3 and Bayonetta 2, but should I get Hyrule Warriors or Tropical Freeze? I feel like HW is always going to keep its $60 price tag, and DK's price tag is already dropping.

Some businesses will let you order online with in-store pickup. Among those, some will ship your items to the store of your choice. I don't know if Target does either, though.

A lot of stores do this although I don't know if Target is one of them. Just find a manager to ask.

But speaking of Sonic, what kind of dark magic keeps him around? If any other franchise on the planet released this many bad games they'd go the way of Bubsy the Bobcat and Gex the Gecko.

On one hand gently caress you for making me click kotaku, on the other hand this shows that Samus' boring pose is actually the key to making her the best Amiibo there is. I'll probably get her if the good Captain's pose means he'll get some ugly plastic holder thing on him.
