Anticipated Super smash bros bundle

[GameTrigger]

Those Amiibos looks overall much lower quality in real life

warning for the amiibo collectors out there!!! http://www.nintendolife.com/news/201...ed_time_offers

So the lamest characters will end up being the most valuable in the future? Quickly, someone predict the future value in 5 years of the rarest amiibo---I'm trying to figure out how many Villagers I should preorder.

Limited shelf space for their amiibos. More like, too many characters in Smash Bros. am I right?

id say "because nintendo" but we all know why nintendo does what it does. they have been cutting costs ever since the wii u was failing in sales. We even went from a regular 3ds CE with the physical game, manual, case and everything else, to a code stuck in the box, to oh your 3ds has the game installed. this amiibo downgrade is not a shocker. We all love nintendo but they are slime balls anymore. with all the cut costs you'd think we could get a decent online infrastructure where i can fucking play smash bros without ERROR ERROR ERROR, ERROR CODE 3234234-34342, You have been disconnected from the game. But since its nintendo we put up with the bullshit.

In this particular case (assuming you're talking about what Twisted posted about), I'd say it has more to do with retailers offering less and less shelf space to Nintendo. Since Nintendo's already committed to making an assload of these amiibos by committing to NFC support for a game like Smash Bros. with a million and a half playable characters, they need to reconcile that with retail shelf space that is becoming more scarce.

Cutting costs and limited retail space have to be what is driving them to heavily promote eShop sales as of late, for consoles without much internal storage space mind you.

If I were Nintendo I would have already started heavily investing in an online store for the US and Canadian market. Like a cross between Nintendo World Store and Nintendo UK's online store. Because this is bullshit.

That would be awesome if they had an online store for Nintendo World. Means some of us could finally have a chance of getting our hands on some of the limited/collectible items!

Side note: how good is the cosmetic condition of refurbished 3DS XLs? I wouldn't mind getting a Yoshi one.

Final strategy guide art?



Had hoped it would change significantly from the concept art, but at least it got a little more colorful than it was.

Nintendo US just announced that some amiibos are to be RETAILER EXCLUSIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they have NOT however said which ones and which retailers as of yet...you can bet one NINTENDO WORLD NYC getting some exclusive version as well, I would guess..since this is the road Nintendo US is going down with these.

[KnightOfTruth]

They did announce that Shulk would be a GS exclusive. It's doubtful they'd make a NYC exclusive amiibo - the production cost would be too high for one small run like that.

Meta Knight is confirmed to be a Best Buy Exclusive and Lucario will be Toys R Us exclusive...

[singer07]

Loot crate is going to get a lot of the exclusives
