Can you gently caress off? It's not the same thing. Amiibos aren't DLC.. they're a new Nintendo peripheral. If you don't like it no one is forcing you to buy it - hell, I bet you don't even own a Wii U. So why dont you gently caress off to zooloomans tf2 thread or whatever god awful Games shithole thread you crawled out of and leave us true gamers alone..

Wry and wise,
but also very sexual.

Initially I was like, holy crap gotta buy all of these maybe even preorder them. But holy shut they are so expensive and seem to do so little I am reconsidering.

These are all really lovely looking. Like bad paint jobs and floppy swords. Fun fact, they can only save data for one game at a time, so if another game ever comes out where it saves data to it you will have to delete your smash character.

I'll probably get a luigi though.

In Mario Kart 8 its a helmet for miis.

Under 3-star weapons is pretty lame but who can say no to free rupees. If they give away materials then that's worth caring about too.

Amiibos are going to tear imp zone apart. On one hand, we all respect gaming in all ways and Nintendo is extremely win, and it's important to promote wierd harmless experiments. On the other hand, Amiibos are almost useless and a blatant cashgrab that wasn't thought all the way thru in terms of gaming implementation. You get very little for your money. The only real value they have until present day isn't really directly gaming related, but if you like collecting little plastic figurines, you could do worse than Nintendo characters. You're going down a dark path either way.
