Special Limited Edition Smash Bros Package Contains 63 Amiibo

Special Limited Edition Smash Bros Package Contains 63 Amiibo

, , , , , 0

Super Smash Bros Ultimate, like the previous two Smash releases, will be fully compatible with amiibo figures. If you’ve been slow to collect them, there’s a way to catch up…if you can manage it. Turns out the Japanese version of the game will have a special edition containing 63 amiibo inside. That isn’t every compatible amiibo, but it’s close. ROLL CALL: Mario, Donkey Kong, Link, Samus, Yoshi, Kirby, Fox, Pikachu, Luigi, Ness, Captain Falcon, Jigglypuff, Peach, Bowser, Ice Climbers, Sheik, Zelda, Dr. Mario, Marth, Roy, Ganondorf, Mewtwo, Mr. Game And Watch, Meta Knight, Pit, Corrin, Zero Suit Samus, Wario, Charizard, Diddy Kong, Lucas, Sonic, King Dedede, Captain Olimar, Lucario, ROB, Toon Link, Wii Fit Trainer, and….more than that, I’m done for now. The package even contains amiibo that won’t be released for several months, like Piranha Plant and King K. Rool. This set is available exclusively through Amazon Japan. This is a key component of their sinister plot to take over the world, as theorized by Beth Elderkin because she

There Will Be Smash Bros Ultimate Amiibo — But How Many?

There Will Be Smash Bros Ultimate Amiibo — But How Many?

, , , , , 0

For those of you wondering if there would be Smash Bros Ultimate amiibo, the answer is “yes.” Nintendo’s Japanese website confirmed that new amiibo would be out upon the release of the game. Nintendo had confirmed previously that amiibo would still be a part of Smash Bros Ultimate and that all previous amiibo would work with the Switch game. The big question is….is Nintendo planning to reissue all 66 (and counting) current Smash Bros characters in new poses, or are they just talking about making figures for the newcomers? At this early stage, we don’t know, but we have enough information to speculate. Ridley, the Inklings and Daisy were confirmed as Smash Bros Ultimate amiibo shortly after they were revealed in their trailers. Today Nintendo of Japan followed that up by revealing that returning characters would be getting amiibo as well, confirming Ice Climbers and Pichu. (We’re guessing Snake is on the way, even though they’ve said nothing. Get in line for that one.) The amiibo market has cooled down

You might think that the Amiibo craze has died down, and yet, you couldn’t be more wrong, as Nintendo is still bringing out more and more figurines for various games. But in an interesting twist, a new trio of Amiibo have been confirmed for a game that was not made by Nintendo: Shovel Knight. Now yes, Shovel Knight has been on both the Wii U and the Nintendo Switch, but it’s still a multiplatform game, yet, Yacht Club Games and Nintendo are back again to make Shovel Knight Amiibo. This time, they’re making them for Plague Knight, Spectre Knight, and King Knight. If that sounds familiar somehow, it’s because these were the main characters of the spinoffs/expansions of Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows, Spectre of Torment, and the upcoming King of Cards. They even had a special trailer made for the game…umm…yeah, this was made and done by Game Grumps, who show the “love” of Amiibo in…uh…interesting ways…you’ve been warned.

The Amiibo Use In Metroid: Samus Returns Is Controversial

The Amiibo Use In Metroid: Samus Returns Is Controversial

, , , , , 0

There’s growing outrage today from Nintendo fans about the recently revealed functionality of amiibo in Metroid: Samus Returns, coming soon to 3DS and 2DS. While amiibo have been used to lock game content behind figure-triggered paywalls before, it is usually along the lines of extraneous material most gamers could live without seeing. In this case, the hard mode in Samus Returns — normally a feature unlocked by completing the game once — can’t truly be accessed unless the 3DS has been bopped at least once by Nintendo’s new squishy Metroid amiibo (just $12.99!) The Metroid amiibo also unlocks a feature called Metroid Marker that helps you track down all the Metroids in Samus Returns (we don’t know how many are in there, but the original Game Boy version had 108). This makes the Metroid amiibo a required purchase for most diehard fans, essentially raising the sticker price to $52.99. Grr. On the same day Nintendo is releasing a new Samus amiibo that grants you an extra Aeion reserve tank (which

If You Want A Bayonetta Amiibo, Today’s The Day

If You Want A Bayonetta Amiibo, Today’s The Day

, , , 0

An entire year ago, the final DLC characters for Super Smash Bros. on Wii U were released: Cloud, Corrin and Bayonetta. Nintendo promised amiibo figures for each of them, and it was a loooong wait after that, but a street date for those figures was finally revealed during the last Nintendo Direct video: July 21. To make up for the waiting, the last Smash amiibo would come in two pairs each: two Clouds (one in his Advent Children form), two Corrins (one male, one female) and two Bayonettas (one in her sequel costume, and a “Player 2” variant in her original outfit). Since most Bayo fans prefer the original suit, everyone wanted to know where to get it. And for the longest time, that information was absent. Preorders quickly went up at Gamestop and Toys R Us for their exclusive amiibo (and sold out just as fast), but two remained a mystery: Bayonetta Player 2 and Majora’s Mask Link. Nobody even knew WHAT store would be getting them, only that

Amiibo: Cloud and Bayonetta Finally Revealed

It seems like it took forever, but Nintendo finally revealed the final Amiibo for Super Smash Bros. guest roster characters Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy VII and Bayonetta from Bayonetta. Series creator Masahiro Sakurai had announced that Amiibo were in the works for both characters, but we hadn’t seen anything for the longest time. Nintendo finally unveiled the new Amiibo figurines for the characters on this week’s Nintendo Direct. So there will be two different Amiibo for Cloud, one based on Final Fantasy VII and another based on Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. Bayonetta will also get two Amiibo, based on her appearances in Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2. Additionally, Corrin from Fire Emblem Fates is also getting two Amiibo. These figures are due out for retailers on July 21. It’s nice that these Amiibo figures are finally getting released. They are way overdue. That being said, Nintendo really messed up by taking so long to get these on the shelves. These really should’ve been out in 2016. Now, they are

Amiibo Gets Some Awesome Stands From PDP Gaming

Amiibo Gets Some Awesome Stands From PDP Gaming

PDP Gaming is creating some classic 3D stands inspired from some classic 2D video games for those lovable figurines called Amiibo. The stands are now on sale on their website, and these official stands are based off of stages from Super Mario Bros., Donkey Kong and The Legend of Zelda. You can check out all the new Amiibo stands at PDP’s website at this link. The stands range in price from $9.99 to $19.99, with the Donkey Kong stand costing the most. It appears the Donkey Kong display stand is already sold out for its pre-orders. These stands are definitely nicely made, and they are officially licensed Nintendo products. Another display features a display for Mario with the famous green pipe, a display for Link from The Legend of Zelda and a Bowser display stand based on the castle stages from the original Super Mario Bros. My personal favorite is the Bowser Amiibo Spinning Fire Display. It’s awesome in its simplicity. The Legend of Zelda display stand is also a

Wario, Daisy, Rosalina, Waluigi, Boo, Donkey Kong, and Diddy King will release on November 4th. Also, Boo will glow in the dark. These Amiibo will likely work with the announced Mario Party: Star Rush that also comes out this year.

Squid Sisters Getting Real-World Replicas July 8

Squid Sisters Getting Real-World Replicas July 8

Just when you thought there wasn’t much to get excited about regarding amiibo anymore, check THIS out: the Squid Sisters from Splatoon are coming out in July! For those who have yet to play Splatoon, it’s hard to describe how the appeal of Callie and Marie would be so great that fans would gladly plunk down $25 for the package they both come in. You just need to play the game. It’s depressing the way a sizable chunk of the public has dismissed the Wii U. I mean, I get WHY they’d dismiss it now, given Nintendo just admitted its run is pretty much over, but if they never play some of these games, it’ll be a real tragedy. The Squid Sisters amiibo do unlock something in the game, but it’s rather trivial — they sing some songs and that’s it. The point is just to have them. When they’re released on July 8, it will be alongside reissues of Inkling Boy, Inkling Girl and the squid amiibo, with alternate

Nintendo has officially revealed that two new Amiibo figurines are going to be released this July for the hit Wii U game Splatoon. Gamers will now be able to own the Squid Sister pair of Callie and Marie. You can check out the announcement tweet and reveal video of the new Amiibo below. The Callie and Marie figures are due out on July 8. However, that’s not the only reason to get excited about Splatoon Amiibo figures. Nintendo also confirmed that there will be new colors of Inkling Girl, Inkling Boy and Inkling Squid Amiibo figures that will launch on the same day. The latter three with the new colors will be available as a bundled pack of three for the SRP of $34.99. The good news for fans is that they will have the option of purchasing Callie and Marie together as a bundle pack or individually for the SRP of $12.99 for the single packs or $24.99 for the bundle. The Amiibo craze, with Nintendo getting into the

You Have Another Chance At Mega Yarn Yoshi

You Have Another Chance At Mega Yarn Yoshi

, , , , 0

The Mega Yarn Yoshi amiibo is one of the hardest to get in the entire series — and by looking at it, you’d hardly even realize it was an amiibo. It’s not a plastic statue, but a full-sized stuffed yarn dinosaur with amiibo powers in its foot. The reason Mega Yarn Yoshi is so rare is because it was a Toys R Us exclusive in the fall of 2015. A very limited number of them were produced and they all were sold at a store where any little kid would want them just as badly as an OCD collector would. The Yoshis cost $40, but that price was likely not much of a deterrent. If you really want to try for Mega Yarn Yoshi, you have a second chance coming. Toys R Us announced on their Twitter account (they’re enjoying this, you can tell) that a new shipment of giant Yoshis was headed for their stores soon. Will there be more in this shipment than there were last time? Nope,

Pokkén Tournament Will be Compatible With All Amiibo

, , , 0

Amiibo and Nintendo fans might be happy to know that every single one of their Amiibo figurines will be compatible with the upcoming Pokemon franchise fighting game, Pokken Tournament. The tidbit was revealed on the official website for the game, the game is “compatible with all Amiibo accessories unlocking in-game items.” Considering how popular and insane the Amiibo craze has become, this sounds like a great way to capitalize on the Amiibo toys. In addition, the game will include a Shadow Mewtwo Amiibo card as a special gift for the first edition of the game. The Amiibo card will immediately unlock Shadow Mewtwo as a playable character in the game right away. The card will only be available with the physical version of the game and not the downloaded version. It’s currently unknown what functions the Amiibos will unlock. Hopefully, the Amiibo will unlock some in-game bonuses or possible DLC skins for the Pokemon. For one thing, there are only five actual Pokemon Amiibo figurines out there right now with
