Checked the prices here in Sweden. We only get about 5 of them and they all cost a third of the price for the full game. Luckily Samus will be out here.

[up][up][up] Isn't it? I can hardly get many games just due to how expensive they are.

I do wonder though, how expensive are Skylanders figures? Are they around the same price?

13 dollars just for a plastic doll? There's no way in hell I'm buying any of these and I'm genuinely surprised that so many posters in this thread will buy one.

It's not "just a plastic doll" for the record.

A: Such a thing isn't exactly unheard of. (and I've seen figurines that cost way more)

B: It's a plastic doll with interactivity with the game itself built in.

I think people would still buy them even if they didn't work with the game, to be honest.tongue

Of Wave 1, I'll probably only get Mario and Samus. Maybe Link.

Nes:Agreed. I'm getting them mostly because they function with the game but I think having little figures of various Nintendo characters would be cool even without the game functionality. Most of their franchises don't really get a lot of merchandise like that.

I'll probably get them all eventuallynote , but will focus on getting the ones based on who I main in For. At the moment, until I play the game, that only limits me to Peach.

As for the amiibos in general, outside of specific cases like Smash (which are supposedly only intended to work with Smash, since characters like Mario has both a Smash amiibo and a "regular" amiibo; but who knows what Nintendo has planned for the Smash ones), Nintendo's "plastic dolls" are meant to be able to interact with far more software than just a single game series ala Skylanders and Disney Infinity.

Besides, collecting figures for the sake of having them is not a new concept at all.

Yeah. Considering it's from an email from Nintendo, it's probably just promoting, relaying, and repeating information for people that subscribed to them, who may not be closely following everything Nintendo's doing like other people are.

On the subject of amiibo, aside from Yoshi I'm not actually going to use them. I'm a collector, see.

Something I started to ponder when looking at the Final Destination versions of stages: I noticed that they are built that way that you cannot fly under them, with maybe few exceptions like Battlefield. And even then, I think maybe the blast zone is higher than it was in the past.

[up]Apparently they're trying to cut down on stalling this time around.

I say "apparently" because I'll believe it when I see it.

Apparently, four characters are being teased on Miiverse; one of them being a newcomer.

They are Ganondorf, Mr. Game and Watch, Wario and Dark Pit

Guesses:

  1. Wario
  2. Falco
  3. Ganondorf
  4. The newcomer is probably Bowser Jr. although it wish it was Ridley.

edit: Wait, you're saying we know what they are? So what are they? Do [spoiler: text] with two brackets.
