Funko Pops exist guys Which are totally different and lamer than Amiibo am I right? (Yes they are because Amiibo at least work as a DLCish thing and you get in game rewards for them)

Funkos are usually cheaper depending on what they are. For most properties the aesthetic is just terrible but I have a good Scrooge McDuck one that was $7

I'm actually pretty shocked they didn't do a slime amiibo. Hero is getting one for Smash, but they do like to release singular amiibos for notable releases, like Diablo III and Dark Souls.

You'd think Nintendo would announce one for Luigi's Mansion.

I miss every first party game having a special edition with a unique amiibo. I'd much prefer that over art books and steel books. I imagine it was probably becoming a pain to think up integration gimmicks for every game that no one bothered using.

Obscure characters nobody fuckin cares about were selling out left and right. It was impossible to understand. But not impossible to predict nobody wanted a Mario Party game with animal crossing characters where you had to scan a character to roll the loving dice

Toys To Life died as a whole because only some of the line would sell, and the rest would just sit eating shelf space in perpetuity, because who really wants a Disney figurine of some minor side character from a film? Lego Dimensions seemed to do okay off of just being Lego at least, and the game was pretty fun. Amiibo, aside from Animal Crossing, seem to do okay still. There never really seems to be like that one definitive unsold one in every store, just a selection of random older amiibo as well as the latest releases.

I still see Animal Crossing amiibos on the shelf with clearance stickers from time to time. They’re the ET cartridges of amiibos.

Yeah a lot of people like Animal Crossing well enough but what sick gently caress would want multiple animals from the game on their shelf? Owl man, dog girl and racoon monster maybe. But beyond that you'd have to be an actual serial killer.

Like most horrible things Nintendo did during that era, it was related to the Wii U. Surely if we make an Animal Crossing board game and shovel out amiibo for it people will learn to love the c string characters.

When the Switch came out, our local chains only sold them bundled with 3 Animal Crossing Amiibo, not free. So now I have Isabelle, Nook, and the daughter of the museum owl, both of whose names I forget.

https://twitter.com/SEGA/status/1179788202262970369 There are three games in Sega's "Puzzle & Action" arcade series (and I guess four if you count Bonanza Bros. since that was kind of the spiritual predecessor). Tant-R (the first game) was a 1993 Japan-only game translated in English and released in the west as part of the PS2 Sega Classics Collection, which itself was a compilation of some of the Sega Ages 2500 series released in Japan. Sand-R (the third game) was a 1995 game that strangely got an arcade release in North America in 1997 as "Puzzle & Action: Treasure Hunt" but the Saturn port didn't get released outside of Japan. Ichidant-R (the second game) was released in 1994 and this will be the first time it has gotten an official English translation release in the west. I've heard them compared to WarioWare but less frantic, however they're more comparable to Namco's light gun game series "Point Blank" in which you are given a series of mini-games to complete. The game is also more of a two-player affair. As for Columns II, this will be the first time it gets a release outside of Japan. It was originally released in arcades and then later got a Saturn port as part of the Saturn's Sega Ages lineup. It is including the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive version of the original Columns as a bonus game.

I'd love a KK Slider Amiibo but I settled for Mr. Resetti. I only have six others and they are all Link variants and Solaire. Having a whole LoZ would be excellent but I'm not going to pay a premium for them. Edit: Oh, the Slider/Llama 3 pack is only 10 bux. Sweet.

hatty posted:Have they announced a Gunstar Heroes AGES version yet? It and Streets of Rage 2 are the last ones I want Not yet, I believe. The next few Sega Ages games I'm aware of as being announced are: - Thunder Force AC (System C-2, might also include the Gen/MD version as a bonus, or comedy option the SNES Thunder Spirits) - Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Genesis) - Puyo Puyo 2 (System C-2, might also include the Gen/MD version as a bonus) - Shinobi (System 16) - G-LOC Air Battle (Y-Board, I think this is the first time the arcade version will be released on home platforms) - Fantasy Zone (System 16A, excited for this one personally) - Herzog Zwei (Genesis, first time this gets a digital re-release of any sort I believe) SeANMcBAY posted:I hope they move on to Saturn and Dreamcast games next. Sega Ages Phantasy Star Online would own so much. I'm surprised they did Virtua Racing, so I'm hoping this means at least more 3D arcade titles, which will probably be the closest thing to a proper Sega Saturn game release. But if they can get actual Saturn games on there like Panzer Dragoon that'll be nice. I feel like Sega always says they'll do Saturn and Dreamcast releases in the future of their compilation stuff (they did this with their Sega Forever mobile line) but then it turned out the only Dreamcast release they had was Crazy Taxi, and for that they just made their existing mobile port of Crazy Taxi part of the lineup (granted, it's a surprisingly good version for a mobile port, even has the proper music).

Virtua racing is a part of the arcade initiative, and they've already said it was just the first since they cracked the engine. They also hinted at Dreamcast being possible as well.
