yea i want to collect them all. its taken me a while, but i almost own all of the current waves. but, i also managed to order a dark pit, zero suit samus, palutena, and ganondorf amiibo. though they are all from japan, they are a hell of a lot cheaper than the US and European versions that i see on ebay and i'm not gonna bother waiting outside a store or preorder them online. thank God for no region lock amiibos. so hopefully by the end of next week i'll have 41 amiibos. lol.
Do you plan on getting all Amiibo or just the Smash amiibo?

just the smash bros amiibo. i may end up buying a toad amiibo for my little brother for his mario party 10 game and also to unlock the mii costume for mario kart 8. i hate not having certain things fully unlocked.

so my fellow smashers, i have a question. how many amiibos do each of you have? as of now i have 34 amiibos, with 7 coming in the mail. i am about to own all the current wave amiibos before wave 5 hits. hows your collection looking?
something like... 23?
:4peach::4dk::4sheik::4tlink::4samus::4metaknight::4pikachu::4jigglypuff::4greninja::4falcon::4ness::4robinm::4lucina::4pit::4wario::4wiifit::4sonic::4megaman:
SMB Bowser, Silver Mario, Inklings
and... sort of gold mario. sort of.

i do hope to get all of them, although my main remaining targets are
:4bowserjr::4dedede::4gaw::4myfriends::4lucas::4mewtwo::4olimar::4rob::4ryu::4shulk::4zss:, chibi-robo, isabelle, and the yarn yoshis

Operation 1338
Part 1 Get dose LEakZ
The Leaks group is anxious for m0re leakz. (spelling errors deliberate) They find out that the leaks they stole only went up to Ryu and Roy, but they want to know what other DLC is coming. They decide to break into Nintendo HQ again to steal the new leaks and maybe save Reggie, however they need to be careful, last time they severely injured Anouma, which led to a delay of Zelda U, and Iwata out of pure anger for being directly scorched in a lava pit, decided to greenlight Metroid Prime Federation Force.
@BluePikmin11 in his new form yells stuff in Pikmin to distract the guards, they also have to kneel down to spot him since he's now a Pikmin, then @ The Stoopid Unikorn The Stoopid Unikorn will jump on them and knock them out. @vaanrose will come into Sakurai's office with the leaks file he stole in operation 1337 and Sakurai will chase him. Then @ Burb Burb will go into his office and #Free Wolf.
With Wolf freed and running about, Sakurai will have no choice but to chase after him, before he gets leaked, giving @Mega Bidoof time to break into the leaks lab and steal the new leaks, while @Con0rrrr and @Tr1pleDee fight Shibata and Not Iwata from the June 1st direct. @ Swamp Sensei Swamp Sensei and @ ThePenguinGamer0 ThePenguinGamer0 will fly the getaway copter, @Naoshi will serve corndogs to the crew while @GoldenYuiitusin and @Frostwraith laugh. Any other member who wants to be a part of this mission will be in the getaway copter with everyone else. Back at Nintendo HQ Bill gets fired and shrunken into a mini Bill by Iwata for failing to stop the leakers, and Wolf gets away with me on a Wolfen. Sakurai then goes down a secret staircase, where he's keeping Krool locked up in a Kage, and then he laughs.

Part 2 When Monkay NInjas ATTACK
Meanwhile the leaks crew gets attacked by Knuckles the Tank engine (Knock Knock its Knuckles) and crash land in the woods where they find King Dedede fighting against Monkey ninjas and their leader. The leader notices the leakers and steals the leaks so he can see if they contain any Monkey magic (so he can rule the world as king). He then reveals that he has geneticly mutated Smasher ZeRo to be more monkey like, and has gotten Diddy to join his side. Just then Etika, who's in the middle of filming a video, walks in and bumps into the monkey ninja leader leading to a fight. Nigel Thornberry appears Smashingly and goes to attack the Monkey ninja leader, but accidentally kicks Etika in the DOODONGS!
Monkey ninja leader then kidnaps Etika and vanishes with him into the night. To make matters worse Monkey ZeRo and Diddy appear to take their revenge on Smashboards for putting a bounty on their heads. Dedede then calls up NME"
Customer Service:"How can I help you King DEDEDE?" Dedede:"I need a monta to clobba dat dere Monkay Ninja!" Customer Service:"That's what we do best at NME" Escargoon:"You better get it with a money back guarantee!" NME then sends over the monster and archenemy of Monkey ZeRo, Krool under the guise of ___?___ . Meanwhile at Nintendo HQ, Sakurai remebers that he accidently built Krool's cage ontop of an NME transporter. Krool then throws Pokeballs at Monkey ZeRo, but he catches them all, but then Krool Falcon kicks him, thus defeating him. Dedede, then clobbas Diddy and the remaing monkey ninjas in the area with his hammer. At the monkey ninja leader's castle, The monkey ninja leader is trying to decipher the leakes, but he isn't very good with technology, so he contacts the evil Dr. Eggman to come decipher the code, for the price of 7 Chaos emeralds. Monkey ninja leader sends the meme Ganonduff to help him and Eggman get the Chaos emeralds.

Part 3 Chaos emerald LeAKiNg
@Naoshi finds a chaos emerald, but the dreaded Shovel knight attacks him, luckily he summons Zazz to give Shovel Knight some megaton news, "YOUR GOING HOME IN A BOX!"
@BluePikmin11 finds a chaos emerald under water.
@Tr1pleDee fights a moon with the monado to get the 3rd chaos emerald.
@Mega Bidoof finds a chaos emerald, but more importantly finds some rare amiibos.
@ Swamp Sensei Swamp Sensei goes to a swamp and fights Shrek for control of the swamp and the chaos emerald.
@Con0rrrr finds one and gives it to Ganonduff mistaking him for @vaanrose
@vaanrose leaks the final chaos emerald to the ship, but then encounters his doppleganger, Ganonduff. An epic battle takes place.
With all 7 chaos emeralds, the leaks group + Nigel and Dedede DACUS to the Monkey ninja leader's castle.

Part 4 You know what they say, the more the merrier.
Arriving at the castle, the leaks group locates Etika, but the Monkey ninja leader steals all the chaos emeralds. They pursue him to a room with a big ceiling when all of a sudden a voice says, "SnooPINGASusual I see" (Eggman drops from the ceiling in his Egg Dealer, E.G.G.M.A.N. Dr Robeatnix starts to play) "Monkey man, hand over those Chaos emeralds to me, like a good boy" Etika then attacks the monkey ninja leader, but Eggman intervenes, "You know what they say, the more the merrier!" The leaks group and Nigel faces off against Eggman, while Dedede and Krool take on the Monkey ninja leader in his robot monkey mech. Just then Wolf and Wario come in and destroy Eggman and the Monkey ninja leader with a fart and a flash. The leaks group gets the leakz and escapes on my super carrier with Etika, Nigel, Wolf, Wario, Dedede, and Krool. Then @ PushDustIn PushDustIn gets the leaks.

Since I got my Dark Pit and ZSS amiibo, I've been playing with them a bit more. I always wanted to main ZSS.

There's too many fricken characters in this game.

Since nobody paid attention to the beautiful script I wrote, I'll just turn it loose on the other threads.

Soooo anyone else having crazy issues with Splatoon tonight? I basically bought Splatoon today so I could participate in SplatFest but I haven't been able to play a single game without getting disconnected (and I'm not even getting error codes, I just get "communication error"/ UNSTABLE CONNECTION across the screen and sent back to lobby) Everyone else I'm seeing is saying when they get kicked they get an error code, but I don't and I can't find anything about it.

Anyone have any thoughts? :I

It seems like team dog has this Splatfest in the bag. Like seriously, numbers alone have them significantly ahead... I've had 6 matches so far in which the opossing team (cats) didn't have more than 2 teammates.

As well, I've had maybe 2 communication errors, but everything has been working fine otherwise.

SplatFest is very fun!
Which side you're on? I'm on team dog and I must say, the team is very aggressive. One point, we were attacking the enemy turf for a whole minute.

There were also some matchmaking issues. One point the match was team dog v. team dog.

This doesn't sound very good. I wish Nintendo would be a little more competitive.

I feel like I can counter that with I wish that gaming hadn't become "Oh look how powerful our system is."

Hm. If they aren't making the NX at least as powerful as XOne and PS4, what is even the point of making it?

It can't be that much more powerful than the Wii U, if the above is true. I can understand if they can't/don't want to make it more powerful than a PS4, but not even making it close to being as powerful is just weird.

Edit:
Also, please don't get me wrong, I couldn't care less how powerful the NX will be as long as the gameplay stays awesome. I just find the idea weird to release a console, that is replacing another console, and while doing so not making it more powerful.

In the case of Nintendo, I think for them a more powerful console easily equals more creative gameplay. As they don't use that power to produce "pretty" graphics but use it in other ways.

It's a third pillar, its not suppose to be a home console (apparently).

Though, it's more likely to become less relevant now.

I thought the Wii was proof enough that "console power" means nothing

Maybe the NX is Nintendo's next handheld? Which means it wouldn't have to be more powerful or on par with the PS4.

And before anyone says, what about the hybrid handheld and console rumors? Try to remember that they are only rumors and we still have no idea what Nintendo is doing for their net consoles. And just because Nintendo merged their console and handheld departments doesn't mean their only going to start making only a hybrid console.

It's always been like that I'm afraid. The bit wars, etc.
If they continue to go weak, the chances of third parties supporting are slim.
I'm not saying they should be the top dog in power, but they should at least be in the same range as the others.
The ps2 was weaker than gamecube and xbox, but not by a landslide like the wii u is to the ps4 and xbox one.

Logistically, NX would be a handheld, but as far as I'm concerned [and from what I have seen], the handheld dreams are looking grim.
I don't care though, they'll make a new handheld eventually.

There's no point in trying to compete in power with PS4 and Xbone, Nintendo does its own thing and I'd hate to see it go down the "look how powerful our console is, lol there's nothing to play on it though" route.

Mostly because anything Smash related is probably for EVO or when Peach's Castle/Hyrule Castle and Tournament mode are done.

So it's gonna be slow until August when Nintendo does their (Damage Control) Direct by then and get something interesting Smash related then as well
They're not going to announce anything at EVO.

They never make major announcements at gaming tournaments. It's always Directs, similar streams, or E3.

I wouldn't say the wii u is weaker by a landslide, it's a much smaller gap this generation than the wii was to the ps360.
The problem with the wii u is that it's difficult to develop for, and often times if a developer is making a game for all 3 consoles, the wii u will end up falling behind because the team hits a wall that they are not quite sure how to overcome. We have games like Xenoblade that show the wii u has plenty of power, and it's architecture is definitely a problem with developers not wanting to learn how to develop for it.
If Nintendo wants to get third parties back, they need to make a system close in power to the other two, and easy to develop for.

Pretty sure he was just saying that Smash is going to be at EVO.

What exactly does a third pillar mean?
This term is really confusing to me, are there any examples that were a third pillar?

I think it's just a third console on the market that they will support, along with the other 2
