Smash WiiU & 3DS Miiverse Daily Pic - October 7th

[Smashboards]

Super Smash Bros. for WiiU & 3DS director Masahiro Sakurai said: "Pic of the day. For the first time ever in the Super Smash Bros. series, you can play with a collection of real-life trophies in the form of amiibo. Simply touch them on this part of the GamePad. This particular screen is dedicated to activating amiibo, but you can also tap your amiibo on the GamePad at the character-selection screen to let that character join the battle."

​

He continued, saying "Once you do, the trophy of your amiibo character transforms into a Figure Player (FP)!! FPs fight and develop on their own."

[BunnyBoy1337]

Hopefully Smash amiibo will compatible with the 3DS version, when the peripheral comes out next year. I say this because I don't have a Wii U. I also hope peripheral will be cheap.

You should get a Wii U... Just sayin.

 

[AIM0001]

Waiting for that King K. Rool amiibo! Haha......*sigh*

 

[Logsmash]

Yes, finally a release date! Gotta figure out which amiibo I'm going to buy first.

 

[KrymsonSkyz]

Yay Gimmicks!!1!

 

[Largo Shogun]

This is how I always wanted pokemon to be. As in you directly control them in a fighting game.

 

[DuckDogDuo]

Whatever. I still don't see the point of Amiibo besides cash grabbing.

 

[GymleaderBen]

hundreds of more dollars to spend! hooray!

 

[RedFly]

Duude, That 2nd picture looks majestic.

 

[Zonderion]

Whatever. I still don't see the point of Amiibo besides cash grabbing.

It is definitely a cash grab. However if you buy two Links, they will level up differently and have different play styles. It will store that data on the Amiibo figure itself so you can take it to a friend's house. I can't think of a better way to do that then this way. Also, this Amiibo will make for an interesting side event at a tournament!

 

[EgeDal]

You should get a Wii U... Just sayin.

new 3ds supports amiibo

 

[TheCJBrine]

Wasn't it confirmed earlier this year (perhaps during summer time) that Amiibos would work on the 3DS, also, by just placing one on the bottom screen?

That only works on the new 3DS. Old 3DS's need to buy a pad to put the amiibo on.

 

[Newt Floss]

Whatever. I still don't see the point of Amiibo besides cash grabbing.

The point is they look cool. That's the only reason I'm buying them.

 

[Adamated]

Don't forget about these two handsome devils that weren't announced already...

 

[bigbro2233]

The only one's I'll buy is Captain Falcon, and if the Tower of Smash leak is true, Ridley.

 

[AuraShaman]

That second pic feels so much like Melee's opening! ^^

 

[elitex12]

Honestly, I could care less for the Amiibo's function... I just like how detailed they look. Needless to say I will be getting some of my favorite characters in amiibo form.

 

[L9999]

That second pic feels so much like Melee's opening! ^^

I think they did it on purpose. Still cool though...

 

[DoodleDuck97]

Captain has an amiibo very early and before Bowser....... F-Zero confirmed ?

 

[beestmode]

I love the idea of the amiibos! I'm going to collect them all!

 

[elitex12]

Nah, F-SHMERO confirmed.

 

[drsusredfish]

so do you need amibos to get certain trophies?

No
