Just lost a character unlock battle. The shame.

They turned that AI up to a reasonable level, I think. Duck Hunt beat my rear end 3 times. Lots of perfect shields, then meteor'd me after chipping me barely off the stage. Only one I've really had a problem with, though.

I didn't really pull out the new ones cable to full length, but it seems much longer than the original GC controllers

I think the new controller cable is 9ft vs the Original's 6ft. The adapter seems to be ~2ft.

I ordered a wavebird on eBay the other day and am waiting for that to show up. I was happy to have controllers with cables out of my life and I'd like to keep it that way.

Duck Hunt caused me so much trouble. Finally I won by switching to Captain Falcon, but geez, that was far harder than I expected. Dr. Mario gave me a fight too, but at least I won that on the first try.

Also, as that might prove I am not the best at this game. Any tips for getting far in Crazy Orders? I'm trying to unlock ROB and I can't get beyond the fourth or fifth match.

My local target looked like they hadn't sold a single Amiibo today, unless they were replenishing the display, every little peg holding them was completely full. I may have accidentally said "oh look, there's piss column Link" in front of a Mom and her son....

Is there a way I can have the main play appear on the tablet screen when doing Smash mode? It shows up when doing singleplayer content, but as soon as I go to fight an AI all I get is the percentages and portraits.

today i went to best buy to pick up the bundle that i preordered a month ago, but they did not have it. they instead tried to give me all of the individual parts of the bundle for the same price, but they did not have the adapter. now they are picking the adapter up from another best buy, and i am eating lunch.

Ask them for a villager amiibo

Those things are rare as gently caress for some reason and I have one.

It varies by area. The stores in this cluster only got 1 Villager each, but then the stores in 20 minute drive over have tonnes of Villager but only 1 Wii Fit Trainer. Nintendo varied out the shipments so people go around hunting them.

Lucina countered just about everything my poor little Toon Link threw at her. In the end we were both over 100% and I just had to go for it. I lost but I think the experience made me a better person in the long run.

I like the Kirby Amiibo, but the Link one is kind of strange in that it's looking down. I get that he's looking over the shield, but it's a weird pose. Kirby's just here to hang out, though.

I lucked out with my local TRU (the first place I checked) and managed to pick up the last Marth, the last Villager, and the second to last Wii Fit Trainer all at the same time.

Amiibos are really good at making me feel like a huge goon.

Yep. I'm waiting for two shipments of 3 to ship from Toys R Us: Mario/Link/Fox and Marth/Wii Fit/Pikachu. Got my Villager from Amazon already.

I can tell I'm gonna have a problem.

I honestly thought not a single person (sans reselling scalper trash) was going to buy Wii Fit Trainer.

Given how much poo poo people gave Amiibos and their function in this and the other announced games I'm surprised at how many people in here seem to be buying.

That said, I'd totally have gone out to get one if I had a car today. The impulse may not last beyond a day or two though.

You're not missing out. I checked two stores, and the stock/selection varied. Target & Walmart only had racks for 6 of the 12, but I couldn't tell you which exactly, because most were sold out. If you want a specific one(s), I'd just order them online while you can.

You know they say that all demons are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Pyro Jack and you can see that statement is not true, hee-ho!
I went into the local TRU to buy two games for that 40% off deal, but I realized I own most of what I wanted, so I ended up buying the Marth, Link, and Yoshi amiibos. There were only three Marths left when I was there, but apparently they had plenty of Villagers and Wii Fit Trainers. Depending on my self-control I may buy more because I'm dumb.

Gamestop wouldn't sell me a Gamecube adapter. The guy said they were all reserved, but I think he really meant they just don't sell anything on release day to anyone who didn't reserve, because who reserves an adapter. So I did the unthinkable, and made a purchase at Best Buy.

He called the other Gamestop and they didn't have any "extra" ones either. Still don't buy that that many people wanted to stake their claim on a $20 adapter, at least around here.

Do all Samus amiibos have a weird little hole in the middle of the head? The ones at Best Buy did. It made it easier to not buy one, at least.

This right here is the main reason I stopped going to Gamestop. Seems like the only way to actually buy anything new in that store is to pre-order, didn't pre-order? Then you are getting an opened copy at new price.

Anyway, I picked this up this morning with Yoshi, Villager (the best Amiibo), and Wii Fit Trainer.

The one thing bugging me about this game is having to set my controller profile every single time I pick a new mode. I wish it would just remember my preference like the 3DS. Am I just stupid and there's some way to do this?
