Nintendo Amiibo figures.

So where is the Cloud Strife Amiibo?

 

I'd say we get the last of the Smash amiibo when they announce SSB for the Switch. We're missing three, right? Cloud, Bayonetta and Corrin.

 

GOD DAMMIT why did I resist Amiibos this long, I need a Link for ~BOTW and cant find any for even a half decent price

i was seeing them at about £5 6 weeks ago

 

Yeah, those three and yeah, basic assumption is that they'll announce them along with the Smash Switch port. Which is...okay, whatever, I guess.

 

The Guardian amiibo is perhaps the best built amiibo Nintendo has made. It's such a great figure. From the pictures it didn't look very impressive, but I saw one at Walmart and it was just too great to pass up.

 

2 Bayonetta Amiibos. Crap. I just bet Bayo 1 is going to be a pain in the ass to get.

 

You can pre-order Cloud and Bayonetta on Best Buy right now. Just did.

 

Took way too long to get Cloud and Bayonetta Amiibo

 

Getting both Bayos, and the new Inkling Boy and Girl. I think I'll skip the new Zelda ones, though. I'm not sure why, just don't care much for any of them vs the ones I already have. The MM one is disappointing, too. I was hoping it'd be Deity Link.

I may get one of the Clouds just to have.

 

Yeah, I'm not exactly thrilled to get minor differences in Link figures.

Though MM Link is tempting for the Fierce Diety costume.

 

Advent Children Cloud (or Player 2 Cloud as the alts are being labeled) is exclusive to Gamestop. You can order it online there now if you want. Female Corrin is Amazon exclusive, but the link for it hasn't gone live yet though you can find it if you search. No word on Bayo alt yet. Probably Best Buy, if I were to guess.

 

Why did they take so damn long to get these done?

 

Bayonetta P2 is Best Buy exclusive. Preorders are up now.

Nabbed my Bayonettas.

 

So, more Zelda: BOTW Amiibo.

Mario, Peach, and Bowser in wedding outfits.

New Samus and Metroid.

And now, more Fire Emblem amiibo, so far Chrom and Tiki.

 

Aw no Sidon :'(

 

Nintendo need to announce an Amiibo toys-to-life game. They need to be doing more than they actually are.

 

Nah, not really. Toys-to-life games are basically on their deathbed. Infinity died, rumor has that the next Skylanders will be the last because the toy sells have tanked, and Lego Dimensions has mostly maintained through staggered license releases and the Lego brand. Releasing a toy-to-life game name would be pretty pointless overall, unless it was just a shallow F2P game that no one really cared about anyway.

I think Nintendo tackled amiibo with a better long term strategy. They are, first and foremost, collectibles. They do thinks in software as an added bonus, but they are cheap collectibles above all, so their value isn't attached to a specific project (this is why Infinity figures' price tanked, since no one really cared about them since their whole identity was tied to a game series that ceased to exist).

 

Hopefully Nintendo got the most out of Amiibo. They will be a distant memory sooner rather than later.

 

Nah, amiibo is something that is going to be a permanent fixture for Nintendo, or at least will for the foreseeable future. They may rebrand it at some point, but cheap collectibles straight from Nintendo that sells out? Even if sells are down from the Smash hype, it's still a slam dunk. The only real misfire was the Animal Crossing line, but even if that was offset by the strong amiibo card sales.
