Sometimes I have a Skylander with me all the time. [lol]

(And I don't even play games in that series anymore, just buy figures.)

Anyway, the Super Mario (Party) set 2 recently came out here, so I bought a Rosalina and Waluigi for myself, plus Diddy Kong for my girlfriend.

My DA account... I draw stuff sometimes!

Funny thing is, I've seen a few people who had a Wool Yoshi dangling on their bag like it was some fashion accesorry. [lol]

Usually if I'm taking my amiibos (or Disney Infinity figures) places, I have a shoebox I typically carry them around in. Of course, it doesn't stop me from getting concerned that someone's going to lose and arm/leg/tail, but it works for me.

Yeah, most amiibo just seem ill fit for travel unless inside a special container. (Such as the box they are sold in.)

Zelda 30th anniversary amiibo and what they do in Breath of the Wild.

  • All of them may rarely summon a random chest with a rare item.
  • 8-bit Link will summon several barrels.
  • Oo T Link will summon a random amount of meat.
  • Toon Link will summon a random amount of fish.
  • Toon Zelda will summon a random amount of plants.

Kind of lame, but I wasn't expecting them to have that much functionality in the first place. I wonder what the Breath of the Wild amiibo do.

Wonder what the Smash amiibo do as well.

Looks like it comes out in Japan on February 2.

Oh right, boxboy is a thing.

Big enough of a thing to get a box with an amiibo and soundtrack, it seems.

Has it dethroned the "Blox/Mo series" as Nintendo's box based puzzle series?

I still need to get BOXBOXBOY!!, but I liked the first game enough to where I'll gladly buy a Qbby amiibo if it comes overseas.

Cloud better not end up being a Toyless Toyline Character, but I am seriously starting to think he will.

Several amiibo (including some rare ones like Pit and Villager) have been reissued, and I'm having fun picking up some of the ones I missed.

As nice as the first wave of Super Mario Bros. amiibo looks, I think they may have been a little too big. I picked up Peach yesterday and was amused to discover that she's taller than Donkey Kong!

EDIT: [up] Rumor has it Cloud, Corrin, and Bayonetta are all coming out when the Switch port of Smash 4 releases. What I wanna know is, will they be compatible with Yoshi's Woolly World? I wanna see Cloud Yoshi and Bayonetta Yoshi! Come to think of it... Is Ryu compatible?

[up] Well, that's just a rumor. I don't think a Switch port of Smash 4 is confirmed.

At least Cloud has a figure I can buy.

[up][up]Nope. None of the Smash DLC amiibos are compatible.

Man, that's too bad. I guess Yoshi's Woolly World wasn't a very high-profile game, but you look me in the eye and tell me the prospect of Bayonetta Yoshi isn't a good enough reason to put Good-Feel back to work.

Well, there's the upcoming 3DS port, which we know supports a Poochie amiibo. So there may be hope yet...

Sure—hope for the 3DS port! I really doubt they'd update the original Woolly World to make the amiibo compatible. It's like 75% of announced first-party content for the Switch (i.e. enhanced ports of Mario Kart 8, Splatoon, and Breath of the Wild) are a big middle finger to Wii U owners who actually bought the games the first time. Que sera.

Was there any confirmation on enhanced Switch ports of Mario Kart 8 or Splatoon?

Not yet officially, but there's reason to expect them considering the games were featured in the Switch announcement trailer.

Said features also had stuff not in the Wii U versions.

More specifically: in Splatoon, the Inklings had new clothes, weapons, and hairstyles (tentaclestyles?); and in Mario Kart 8, King Boo was playable, and the HUD showed that you could carry two items at once.

Just got 8-bit Lonk. I love how they captured his look from the front and at the sides, just like his sprite, and there's even the White Sword on his back!

Though I already have Smash Bros. Zelda, I kinda want Wind Waker Zelda since Wind Waker's my favorite Zelda game.
