I'm definitely in, but I don't think they're out in Canada yet. I was just in the game store in my area a few hours ago and they didn't have any out!

Not that I can afford to buy any right now anyways! I just wanted to get a peep on these things. I thought Nintendo release dates were Sundays?

I could be wrong but I have a feeling that Marth might end up being a difficult one to find.

That's a great deal. Too bad we likely won't see it here in Canada.

Oh, and to answer your original question:

Marth has some good smash attacks and is actually pretty fast. It's not common to have a fast character with strong attacks. Typically it's one or the other. I don't know a single person who doesn't call Marth a flat-out cheap character. Usually, the person playing Marth wins the game unless everyone gangbangs Marth or the person playing Marth is terrible.

Oh shit! Sorry guys...

How about some commercials instead!!!










Basically Nintendo is taking a page out of the Disney Infinity and Skylanders book. They are toys that interact with the games. So far Nintendo has announced that will be 6 games that have various forms of interaction with the figures. There have been 3 waves of toys announced so far. And the first wave went on sale today.

As a total NES geek - I'm pretty excited. I've yet to dip into the DIsney Infinity and Skylanders arena - but I may have to go ahead and get these. While I'm not buying toys in general much anymore... I may make an exception here.

Maybe I'm wrong... I haven't actually been to the store yet, but I thought the guy at Target said that they would be in Tuesday.  Either way, they will be here any minute!

 

By the way - for the un-informed that don't know what Amiibo's are here is an information link:

 

http://www.ign.com/g.../wii-u-20019891

 

 

Probably much better info on this than watching those commercials I posted.

One thing Amiibos are doing differently from Skylanders/Infinity is that they're letting you use the figures in different Nintendo games, (Mario Kart is supposed to get an update for this). I am not sure what games are being included in it, but Smash Bros is obviously the first game. You'll be able to level the character up via the figure, which is standard, but the figures also do something else incredibly cool.

The characters of the figures you own will act differently when they're in the game, but controlled by the computer.

This means that my Kirby will be different than your Kirby based upon our playing styles. It's a pretty awesome feature, if you ask me. The only downside is that my 6 year old is a terrible smash bros player, so therefore we're going to end up with a couple of insanely easy NPCs that jump off cliffs and walk back and forth forever.

Has Hyrule Warriors been confirmed? It wasn't developed by Nintendo, but by Koei/Tecmo. I have a hard time believing Koei/Tecmo putting the extra effort forth for something they don't profit from.

 

It's on wikipedia, it has to be true.

Oh - and to add to your list Subwayrats the next Mario Party game has been confirmed to use the figures too.  SO that's 6 games so far.  I wonder if Sega will get in on the action since they are so in bed with Nintendo now days... and you have the Sonic figure being announced.  I assume the Mega Man figure that has been announced is just for Smash Bros.

 

SInce they also have a figure that is a Gamestop Exclusive based on the guy from Xenoblade... it makes me wonder if the next Xenoblade game might have some use for them too.  But Im just speculating.

 

Smash is the best and most fleshed out for using the figures.  Some of them will just be adding weapons, and costumes... skins... etc.  Unfortunately Draznar, the update for MK8 is in and you can go look on the title screen and see a place where you can add the figures.  It only looks like you can change their costumes though.  Which is kinda lame.

My wife just went to her first midnight release since having kids. (Over six years now). It wasn't good.

But we have amiibos.


Edit: And we are incredibly disappointed. Already.

You pop the amiibo into the game, and the CPU plays them for you. Perhaps this was always the case, but it was my understanding you'd be able to play as your amiibo. At this moment you can not play as your amiibo.

Bravo, Nintendo, Bravo.

 

Double edit: Here's a link detailing how bad they actually are:

I knew that they would play "for you" or "with you"... but I thought that you could ALSO play as the character.  Like you had a choice.  What's the point otherwise... why would a kid want to bring an Amiibo over to his friend's house to watch the toy kick the other kids ass?  I would assume that it would be more participatory...

 

Weird.

 

I'm a die hard Nintendo geek/ fan... but even the most loyal of us know they they eff up more than they get it right lol...

Apparently it doesn't erase the data for Hyrule Warriors or Mariokart because they don't save, they just use the figure to unlock stuff. Or so I am led to believe, anyhow.

 


They were always ment to be cpu used. At least for foreseeable future. I was going for them for the toy aspect and curiosity.

But this entirely defeats the purpose of them even existing.
