Third Wave of Amiibos have been Announced!

[Mega Bidoof]

Kinda of ironic the Shulk amiibo is a Gamestop exclusive...

Guess that only leaves a couple default roster characters, definitely surprised the Sonic/Mega Man amiibos are coming out as soon as they are.

Yeah, especially since this article that said they are "considering" letting Third Parties use Amiibo.

Then again, these ones are for a First Party game.

I don't know where you live, but the guys at my local GameStop have been working their for years, and every old game I got their has been cheap (every used game is cheaper than the new ones).

Old games are usually MUCH more pricey on a site like eBay.

Then consider your local GameStop "La Resistance".

I wish Sheik had a cooler fighting stance in Smash 4.

The main thing with GameStop is that it varies from place to place. I live in New York and the nearby GameStop is pretty bad since it's in a giant mall and it has to compete with Target and Costco, so employees there are worked to the bone. I lived in Florida once and the GameStop there was much better compared to the one in New York (however that was a couple of years ago).

Oh by the way, I meant to say local retailers for when it comes to buying old games. There's one that had Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2 both $20 each and completely new with everything inside, which was a crazy good deal since Target, GameStop, and Best Buy had Kingdom Hearts 2 for like $40 to $50 and they had it used.

I just want C.Falcon, L.Mac and P.Man, but M.Knight is looking good right now.

 

[Keeshu]

Ah finally. Meta Knight and Lucario are in. Those were the characters I was hoping to fight against the most. Meta Knight is my #1 favorite Nintendo character afterall. Lucario, while as a pokemon I only think he's cool, as a smash character I love him a love, I look forward to sparring with him. I'd get Meta Knight before Lucario though.

Probably wont get others, but I'd probably get some others in an order similar to this:
#3 - R.O.B. - Nostalgia for R.O.B. and the NES as a whole. NES took up a few years of my childhood and it'd be nice to connect it with Smash and how Nintendo has grown since then. It'll be nice to have him up on the shelf, and to be able to play with him every now and then.
#4 - Little Mac - Nostalgia for the NES Punchout (havent played the new one yet), and he might be fun to spar with (haven't played ssb4 yet)
#5 - Link - Fun to fight with/against, and is a swordsman that uses whatever at his disposal.
#6/7(maybe 8 with DLC) - Star Fox Characters
#9 - Charizard - Because dragons
#10 - The suit is awesome and she kicks butt... but gosh darn, why is she in an angelic pose (why doesn't Pit do this pose? Afterall it was one his taunts in brawl). Samus doesn't strike me as an angel, but wwhatevver.

 

[Kingkool]

honestly surprised they went and got merchandising rights to the third party characters to make Amiibos. Not bad Nintendo, looks like ill need 4 or 5 now

 

[Geegog]

Dat Peach is all i need

 

[Acryte]

Blatant merchandising. Amiibos make me sick.

 

[Narpas_sword]

Blatant merchandising. Amiibos make me sick.

so dont buy them?

 

[DoodleDuck97]

What's this ?

 

[DoodleDuck97]

You know what.....out of pure love I am buying that Dedede with Kirby just so I can relive those old times.

I miss you Brawl in the Family :')

 

[ZOMBBQ]

that phallus that supports luma tho

 

[Logsmash]

I NEED THEM ALL!

Seriously Nintendo, I might as well just make any cheques I get from now on payable [DIRECTLY] to you.

 

[Keefer]

Welp. Going to have to buy em all.

 

[Omegascizor456]

Lucario and shulk are my most hype out of this wave of amiibo but i plan on collecting them all

 

[GunGunW]

<3

 

[mario123007]

Get this: Shulk is an exclusive to Gamestop, GAMESTOP. Unbelievable.
Whatever, it's not like I was gonna get him anyways.

http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2014/11/shulk_amiibo_listed_as_gamestop_exclusive_in_the_us

"GameStop has a track record with Shulk — sort of — when it drew ire for selling and allegedly re-printing Xenoblade Chronicles at $90, being accused of abusing its exclusivity of that game in the US; the reprinting allegation wasn't proven, but the title was certainly pricey for a time."

Gamestop is the last place I would go to get a game.

Rosalina looks a bit striaght, really curious what her down skirts looks like. Will it be galaxys under her gown just like in the game?

Ooh, you're so righteous and anti-establishment because you don't want to buy a collectable figure. How noble of you.

 

[Aninymouse]

I already preordered DK. Ike is next. All that's left is Mewtwo...

Those are probably the only 3 I want. I might get a Mario one later on, though. I dunno. Right now My WiiU doesn't even work, so it's not like I can use them. I still have to send it in to Nintendo to get it replaced or fixed, but I heard that can cost $170 or so. I definitely don't have that kind of dosh.

 

[CardStealer1]

Meta Knight Amiibo? ...
...
...
...
Life, Complete...

 

[LucasBlitz]

I'm throwing money at the screen but NOTHING IS HAPPENING!

 

[1DeadRabbit]

Yeeeees! Lucario's got an amiibo!

Though I'm not sure about the look of it. Kind of looks a bit like a fast food toy.

I wonder if I can do a repaint of it like I see people do with plastic toy dolls.

I wonder if I'm going to care enough.

 

[skylanders fan]

yeah cant wait to get all of them man this skylanders and disney infinity just glad there arn't more...for now anyways got to love this wave with bowser mega man shulk sonic and lucario cant wait to get them

 

[Artryuu]

Finally it's SHUUUUULKKK time! I'm really feeling it ! :D

 

[DarkLink55]

I'm still waiting for the Robin ones announcement!

 

[ChikoLad]

that phallus that supports luma tho

I think we'd all have one of those if Rosalina was "pretty rough" with us, as Pit would say! :V

 

[Acryte]

Ooh, you're so righteous and anti-establishemnt because you don't want to buy a collectable figure. How noble of you.

I'm actually surprised that it took people this long to realize that instead of just selling games or toys, they can sell toys that factor into the game. I certainly prefer it to dlc, but it still seems to be a ridiculous gimmick for side profit.

 

[WindozeNT]

that phallus that supports luma tho

Sheik looks like there's one going inside her.

 

[link and ike lover]

Skylanders much?

 

[NintendoPSX]

It does matter where a person gets a game because there are other places that provide better prices and deals than GameStop, just like sonicbrawler182 said. The eShop is one of the ideal places to get Nintendo games depending on where you live. You can't avoid tax at retailers, but you can avoid tax on the eShop.

I know it seems that I'm making a big deal out of this, but GameStop is really terrible. The people employed absolutely despise working there and they get fired and hired quickly, you can't find old games anymore (and even if you do, it's likely overpriced compared to an independent retailer), and they do shady business practices.

Uhm excuse me? I work at GameStop so you're just filtering words into a mouth that would never say this. I haven't been fired and I don't despise working there (Except Call of Duty day). You CAN indeed find older games it just depends on HOW old you're lookin' at. Don't except to find a rarer game from 5-6 years ago there, gotta keep the shelves clean and relevant. And no eShop is worse. They keep the prices at the same price range barely EVER changing (Minus Atlus).

good. shulk is a dweeb.

 

[NiderQueen]

There's something off about Ike's eyes....I'm going to buy him anyways

 

[EmceeEspio]

good. shulk is a dwe-

I'll make you really feel those words!

#SettleItInSmash #NowItsShulkTime
#ReallyFeelingIt #MonadoMonday

 

[Yuritails]

I will definitely be getting Sonic and Ike.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Thought I read somewhere that Megaman was going to be another exclusive. As long I can get Sonic and Dedede. Being in México means that getting exclusive Amiibos will be extra difficult and extra expensive.

 

[Wavebird]

I'd rather have an exclusive/limited edition amiibo than none at all.

Plus is not like they're jacking up the price on release date it's the same price for all amiibos just pre-order.

 

[Archimedes]

That lucario and bowser tho <3

 

[S2]

I don't really need to collect all the amiibos... omg, Sheik. And Mega... and Toon Link! I need them now!

 

[elitex12]

As soon as I saw Megaman... I freaking squealed like a little girl.
