I find the concept of the Amiibo's quite interesting, and find it pretty hillarious that Nintendo once again leaked information concerning Smash Bros, by showing off Ike, Charizard, and Ness as new FP's. I just hope the third party characters get Amiibo's eventually, I need a Pac-Man Amiibo in my life, same with Mewtwo.
The level ups are in the figure
I know but, to put an Amiibo in the game you half to tap it on the Gamepad then take it off. How will it get the new level up data if it's off the Gamepad?
Once loaded, the Amiibo will level up and save locally on the Wii U. When you decide to take the Amiibo to a friends house, you'll need to tag the Amiibo back on the gamepad to upload the data to it.
Basically it's a CPU, but you have to train it to level it up (it can level up to 50 I believe).
It's a cool idea for the competitive scene, I think. It's someone good to train against, since it can get to level 50, and can be played against on either the Wii U or 3DS version. Since it learns as it plays against you, it will start to counter your playstyle, forcing you to adapt. It's a very cool training tool that isn't stuck in your own game. So, you go to a tournament and want to get some last minute training in, just bring an amiibo. It's just a little bleh that there's only one character per unit. If someone were to want to buy ALL of them for training purposes, they'd be spending a pretty hefty amount. Like, north of $600.
I'll definitely be getting the ones that don't have the poles
Bootleg?
Not by the real thing.
I know what bootleg is. I was confused by bootleg amiibo
Oh, basically someone made it themselves. (Except, I'm guessing, it doesn't work)
Anyone who as ever hoped for a good ai in a videogame has typically been sorely disappointed. I honestly would not expect it to be much different than a standard cpu, aside from just a few simplistic differences. Even the most advanced ai in games today are completely predictable and make dumb decisions.
From every video I've seen, it looks like you link it initially by tapping it on to the gamepad. You can then continue to play against/with it and level it up in the same mode (like say Smash mode) without having to sync. Once you leave the mode, it asks you to tap the Amiibo to the gamepad again to save the progress.
Well go ahead and train one, and see if they are really predictable.... if they are, well maybe that means you yourself are predictable..
Yeah, that is rather disappointing to be honest. Although their aesthetics aren't part of their functionality, it would have been nice to have something that at least resembles the Smash Bros. Trophies to an extent; the ugly poles don't do much justice, either.the quality of the amiibos have went down severely.

this is such a colossal let down. i was hoping that for 15 dollars we would at least get figures of the same quality as disney infinity figurines. I mean these are practically mcdonalds toy quality. all we can do is hope the next wave's quality gets better.
its no surprise a figurine doesn't look as good as the prototype but this is just ridiculous.
yeah. I was hoping they would at least be on par with disney infinity figures, if not better.
you just want to look at peachs under skirtthe quality of the amiibos have went down severely.

I am not a casual gamer, I have been following the Amiibo news since before they were officially announced, and I still fail to understand the point of them.
I second this sentiment. Some quick Google-fu yielded no significant results, so I'm wondering what all the fuss about it is?
Don't tell me you don't want Jigglypuff sitting on your mantelpiece! That gracious spitcurl, those wondrous come-hither eyes~!I am not a casual gamer, I have been following the Amiibo news since before they were officially announced, and I still fail to understand the point of them.
So unfortunately those are the real deal. I was super excited about the Amiibo's and their quality too. I might still buy one simply for the functionality, but I used to want a few for the quality and as collector figurines.
