t Event Closed Let's talk about Amiibo I got into Amiibo collecting late in 2014. Since then I've amassed over 30 Amiibo. I got to a point where I knew I wasn't going to collect every one and had to start drawing lines to curb my collection habit. Here are 3 rules I've set for myself:

Brandon 02/20/2016 9:57 PM 1. If an Amiibo comes in different colors (Gold/Silver/Standard) I'll only get one of them. 2. If I don't own a game their compatible with I won't collect a set. Examples of this would be the amd Animal Crossing sets. 3. I refuse to keep them in their boxes and try my hardest to avoid scalpers.

E Yeah! e 0 D Brandon 02/20/2016 10:01 PM Have any of you guys gotten in to collecting Amiibo? If so are you going for every one, just certain sets, or are you creating your own subsets (Zelda, Fire Emblem ect.)?

E Yeah! e 0 D

Ray 02/20/2016 10:15 PM 30 amiibo!? I have none, but am thinking of getting the Wolf Link one with Twilight Princess HD. Either that or Toon Link. Otherwise, the Smash ones and beyond don't really interest me.

E Yeah!? e 3 D

Brandon 02/20/2016 10:26 PM It's a problem... I also purchase in waves. I'll go through a period where I buy 3 or 4 and then don't for a while.

E Yeah! e 1 D

Stagger 02/20/2016 11:01 PM I have all of the LoZ related ones and Shulk. My Ganondorf and Toon Link are still in the box, but that's only because I haven't had a use for them ... which will change next month. I just recently finished my subset when a used Sheik came in to the store. I've considered trying to track down a Samus or getting her Zero Suit version. It sunds like they'll have an application in Federation Force.

E Yeah! e 3

JohnnyTLP 02/21/2016 12:06 AM I haven't gotten any Amiibo, personally. I was going to get a few for Smash 4 at one point, but, as I got out of the Smash 4 scene soon after that, I never got around to it.

E Yeah! e 2 Jade 02/21/2016 12:55 AM I've got the 3 Splatoon pack, yarn , , and Zero Suit Samus. I have 6 .

E Yeah! e 1 D

Elzonire 02/21/2016 1:30 AM I haven't found a use for a single amiibo yet. Unless Zelda U does something GENIUS with them (Genius, not cheap), then I might get one!

E Yeah! e 1

Justin86 02/21/2016 7:04 AM I have 20 at the moment. They are all from the SSB series. I really found no interest in collecting any other series amiibo like SMB or Animal Crossing, but I'll soon have my first one with Wolf Link. I was able to get all the Zelda amiibo, and looking forward to putting Ganondorf to work in TPHD.

E Yeah! e 1 D

Blake 02/21/2016 7:04 AM Hmm... I have , , Yoshi, Link, Toon Link, and Boy. I think Yoshi and Mario were gifts. I got Link day one along with Sm4sh and purchased Luigi to round out my cast, and I got Toon Link because he's currently my favorite character with an amiibo.

The only ones I might consider getting at this point would be Yarn Yoshi, Modern Pixel Mario, and/or the Inkling Girl.

E Yeah! e 1 D

Blake 02/21/2016 7:09 AM I doubt I'll buy any of them myself, but I have a family that loves overwhelming the youngest generation with overly generous gift giving come birthdays and Christmas.

I'm not impressed with their functionality yet, but they look really cool. They suffer from the "can't have too much content locked behind them, but also can't be a ripoff price" paradox. SMM finds a way around this best.

E Yeah! e 3 D

Brandon 02/21/2016 9:18 AM I'll admit that the content behind them is lacking. Mario Maker and 8 had decent content. I don't mind content locked behind them for the most part because I'm okay with buying them but I do see how it can be unfair for those who don't collect.

I guess the balance would be offering locked content for a reduced price for those who don't collect them. At this point I don't think most

E Yeah! e 0 D

Brandon 02/21/2016 9:18 AM people are buying them for the content they unlock. Part of the reason I have problems with people leaving them in their packaging and not actually using them is because of this.

E Yeah! e 1 D

Blake 02/21/2016 10:36 AM I personally see MK8 and SMM as the best uses of amiibo. TPHD's compatability with amiibo looks amazing, a perfect balance of not punishing penny-pinching completionists while giving those willing to splurge a worthwhile gameplay feature.

...Except for the Wolf Link figure. I really hope it's going to be obtainable at MSRP a while after release, but I doubt it will.

E Yeah! e 3 D

Jade 02/21/2016 11:27 AM who has a pac man amiibo!?

E Yeah! e 2 D Brandon 02/21/2016 11:37 AM @Jade. I have one.

E Yeah! e 0 D

Ray 02/21/2016 11:43 AM Well, I would say the Wolf Link amiibo and the Splatoon amiibo have the highest amount of content associated with them in a single game than any other amiibo. But I also really think costumes are quite irrelevant things to pay for in games, so I don't consider them the best uses of amiibo either. So I'm curious now, Blake, what do you think of Smash Bros.'s use of amiibo?

E Yeah! e 0 D

Jade 02/21/2016 11:50 AM ike?

E Yeah! e 1 D

Blake 02/21/2016 12:15 PM Smash? It's a nice gimmick, but I honestly wouldn't recommend buying more than one, if that.

They didn't appear to have that much depth, but then again, I never really used them long enough to find out.

E Yeah! e 2 D

Brandon 02/21/2016 1:28 PM Smash was alright, but at the end of the day training Amiibo gets old. I thought Captain Toad's use of the Toad Amiibo was a nice addition. Added an extra element to the game that if I wasn't into Amiibo wouldn't have minded missing out on.

E Yeah! e 2 D

Blooky Bae 02/21/2016 4:37 PM I have 16 I bought 3 today!

E Yeah! e 1 D

JohnnyTLP 02/21/2016 5:02 PM I was more interested in the fact that Amiibo apparently learned your fighting style and developed tactics to counter them. It sounded like that would be a great way to improve any flaws your strategies have.

Granted, like I said, I got out of Smash 4 before I could actually confirm if that line of thought held merit.

E Yeah! e 2

Brandon 02/21/2016 5:41 PM I've been meaning to play more Smash and use my Amiibo more. I used to have friends that I would play it with regularly but I've since moved and it's hard to find people to game with.

E Yeah! e 1 D

Tabi 02/22/2016 3:54 PM I have been looking for the amiibo. I thought someone mentioned that it was a Target exclusive. But everytime I go there, they don't have any! They have a lot of inklings and Peach. Lol.

E Yeah! e 0 D

Brandon 02/22/2016 4:48 PM @Tabi, I ordered Rosalina from Japan, cost me 20$ but it was better than paying 40$ for one in the United States.

E Yeah! e 2 D

Stagger 02/22/2016 6:44 PM The Link amiibo's use in Hyrule Warriors was awesome. A whole new weapon? That's heavy content. The Shulk amiibo's use in 3d was tacked on but awfully helpful. It was a rough model gallery and jukebox to fill otherwise ...

I understand the concern about Wolf Link for those who are late to the game, but come on ... it's ten bucks extra for the bundle, and it's still available.

E Yeah! e 2

Brandon 02/22/2016 7:48 PM Also it's much cheaper on . I paid 47.99 for the Amiibo Bundle. And the Wolf Link Amiibo is a pretty cool looking collectors item.

E Yeah! e 0 D

Tabi 02/23/2016 12:02 PM I preordered Twilght Princess HD from Gamestop. I know some people are upset about the wolf amiibo being included in a remastered bundle. But since I never played the original TP, it was a win-win for me.

E Yeah! e 0 D

zane 02/24/2016 9:08 PM i have 20 amiibo

E Yeah! e 0 D

Ryan 02/26/2016 6:11 PM ...surprisingly i have 70 amiibo. IM ADDICTED

E Yeah! e 0

Joshua 02/27/2016 11:58 AM I have every one

E Yeah! e 0 D

Brandon 02/27/2016 2:03 PM Every one? You must be dedicated to collecting them Joshua!

E Yeah! e 0 D

Ryan 02/27/2016 4:51 PM im still looking for my amiibo! And im not somewhat close to getting them all

E Yeah! e 1

Ryan 03/23/2016 5:25 PM so who got the new ones, i did (^o^)

E Yeah! e 0

Brandon 03/23/2016 6:04 PM Which ones? The only new one I've got recently was the Wolf Link amiibo with Twilight Princess HD.

E Yeah! e 0 D

Justin86 03/23/2016 6:25 PM Besides the Wolf Link amiibo included in my TPHD purchase, I recently picked up Roy. I think the only other SSB amiibo I will be getting are Cloud and .

E Yeah! e 1 D

Ryan 03/23/2016 8:07 PM i meant Roy, , and all the other ones that came out Friday

E Yeah! e 1

Brandon 03/23/2016 8:50 PM Oh, I hadn't been paying attention. Nah, bought a new car so the amiibo purchases are taking the "back seat" if you don't mind a car pun.

E Yeah! e 4 D JohnnyTLP 03/23/2016 9:09 PM @Brandon: Any time is a good time for puns...or, well, that's the case if you ask for my opinion on the matter.

I guess it's worth mentioning, since this discussion is still ongoing, that I did finally get my first Amiibo (Wolf Link) a few weeks ago, but since I got TPHD around the same time, that's kind of obvious.

E Yeah! e 2

Brandon 03/23/2016 9:37 PM I was surprised when I saw a notification for this thread and that I never closed it. Since I haven't had reason to close it I'll leave it open until it reaches its limit or I finally make a new discussion...whatever comes first.

E Yeah! e 1 D

Manic 04/10/2016 1:50 PM I love the Amiibos' detail!

E Yeah! e 1 D

Niles 04/25/2016 2:08 PM I only have the amiibo, but I REALLY want a Dark Pit amiibo as well...

E Yeah! e 1

Woominator 05/10/2016 10:42 AM i have , mlg shalk, ganondorf, midna and link, and inkling boy

E Yeah! e 0

briAnimal 05/13/2016 9:36 PM i have every Smash one so far and will complete the collection with bayonetta cloud & . also have silver mario. toad. 3 Yarn and MEGAyarn. chibi. shovel night. wolf link. splatoon set too. gah im a crazy person! heres hoping Nintendo implements them with the NX

E Yeah! e 1 D

Brandon 05/13/2016 9:51 PM They had better be implemented with the NX. I hope the Amiibo contented for the new Zelda won't be locked to the U version of the game only. While I haven't bought an Amiibo in a few months I do enjoy when I get a new game like Zero and it has some amiibo support.

E Yeah! e 1 D

Stagger 05/14/2016 9:52 AM I bought a couple yesterday. Finally go ahold of a Samus, so then I was obligated to get a Zero Suit ...

E Yeah! e 1

Joshua 06/04/2016 8:59 AM i used to have every one but now i do not

E Yeah! e 0 D

Brandon 06/11/2016 10:29 PM Picked up Falco the other day to complete my Star Fox sub-set. I haven't actually used it with Star Fox Zero, yet. Maybe, after I complete Phantom Hourglass I'll get back into it. That is, if I finish it before I head to Alaska.

E Yeah! e 1 D

Niles 06/12/2016 12:41 PM I've had the Dark Pit amiibo since last month

E Yeah! e 0

Brandon 06/14/2016 10:38 PM Looks like we're getting some new Zelda amiibo. They look pretty cool.

E Yeah! e 2 D Elzonire 06/14/2016 11:29 PM ·Spoilers This new game may actually convince me to get some amiibo. If they have any bearing on ingame 100%, that is. I wonder, if I were to get the Wolf Link amiibo without playing Twilight Princess HD (Therefore no Cave of Shadows data on the amiibo), could Wolf Link still be used as a partner?

Short of Twilight Princess Link and the Hero of Time meeting several times, this is the biggest interaction

E Yeah! e 2

Elzonire 06/14/2016 11:30 PM ·Spoilers between different Links from different times. What teamwork to be seen!

E Yeah! e 2

Blake 06/15/2016 8:26 AM From what I heard, Ezlo, the Wolf Link partner defaults to three hearts of health. To increase its health, complete the cave of shadows with less damage taken.

As in, if you collect all 20 Heart Containers and take no damage in the cave, the WL partner has 20 hearts in BotW.

It's actually a genius use of amiibo. No 100% barriers, but a real reward for training and using it.

E Yeah! e 6 D

Justin86 06/15/2016 11:56 AM It'll be interesting hearing about what each of these amiibo do. Perhaps they may even bundle one with the game.

E Yeah! e 5 D

Stagger 06/15/2016 2:03 PM I'm assuming there will be more than the three they're showing on the main page, but that they are sensitive to spoiling more characters. What does everyone make of the Guardian(s) being that important?

E Yeah! e 3

Brandon 06/15/2016 5:26 PM The Guardians look like this games version of the Shadow Beasts. Maybe they will also open warp points. I dunno I'm not very good at speculating. Their amiibo looks cool.

E Yeah! e 2 D

Blake 06/15/2016 5:46 PM I actually rather like the idea of the Guardians. Sure, ancient robots have been done to death in this series, but the giant laser cannon thing really makes the other BotW weapons look like sticks and pellet guns.

E Yeah! e 2 D

Blake 06/15/2016 5:52 PM ·Spoilers But it's the gameplay that really gets me excited. These guys appear to be an entire tier above the likes of Darknuts and Stalfos. Over six hearts of damage? Are you kidding me? If can threaten the peace of Hyrule over five times without the heavy artillery, it makes me wonder what havoc he'll wreak with it. We haven't even seen the likes of these guys nicely locked up in the final room of a

E Yeah! e 2 D

Blake 06/15/2016 5:53 PM Dungeon.

^Dont read that comment Stagger.

E Yeah! e 0 D

tooka 07/03/2016 8:11 AM @Jade I have a pacman amiibo E Yeah♥ e 0 D

Rixasum 08/11/2016 9:57 AM i have a dark pit, but i dont know if it works on amiibo tap :(

E Yeah! e 0

Brandon 09/03/2016 10:22 PM Due to the amiibo announcement the other day I decided to go on an amiibo bender. Ryu, Villager, Jr. and ( line). I actually really like the Kirby line of amiibo. Can anyone recommend me a good Kirby game. I've tried some of the older ones. I just don't get it?

E Yeah! e 0 D

Tabi 09/03/2016 10:56 PM Kirby's Epic Yarn for the Wii. Since the is backwards compatible. You should be able to find a physical copy fairly cheap (GameStop). May be on the Nintendo store VC, not sure.

E Yeah! e 2 D

Tabi 09/03/2016 11:01 PM Yeah, I just looked in the store and it's there. I got it when I had my Wii. I still play it sometimes. It has decent graphics when played on the Wii U. Also, you can play co-op which is a lot of fun.

E Yeah! e 1 D

Britt 10/11/2016 8:55 AM I have a lot of amiibo,but try to not buy em all just cause they're cute! I have all the LoZ amiibo. The new ones look great, but where shall I put them?! I'd like to say I have each character just once,but I have 2 mario's (pixel, smash), 3 yoshi's (smash, green yarn, big yarn) and 2 peaches (different dresses)! I also have Bowser,Bowser Jr,Toad,Game&Watch,Luigi,DK,Diddy and a Japanese Rosalina.

E Yeah! e 1 Britt 10/11/2016 8:59 AM I forgot Boo. Bought it cause it's cute and glows in the dark. And I'd like to get Daisy, but I have no use for those 2 amiibo, because unless there's an expansion of mini mario & friends, I don't have a game to use them in.

E Yeah! e 1

Brandon 10/11/2016 9:20 AM I didn't even know the Boo one was out. I'll have to pick it up. I've always liked Boo.

E Yeah! e 2 D

Britt 10/12/2016 6:56 AM nice! I'm a bad influence.

E Yeah! e 0

Brandon 10/20/2016 6:53 AM I haven't seen Boo around. I also haven't been looking too hard, however; I did find the gunner and sword fighter . They were used but I don't keep them in boxes so I don't really care about that. Now if only I could find the brawler.

E Yeah! e 1 D

Britt 10/20/2016 7:04 AM I ordered it, cause you usually don't find the ones you look for

E Yeah! e 1

Manic 10/20/2016 5:36 PM I hope the games supports amiibo.

E Yeah! e 3 D

Brandon 11/02/2016 9:15 AM Found Boo at Walmart today. Only problem was they aren't supposed to be out here until the 4th. (Which I didn't know) I was slightly annoyed when they wouldn't sell it to me seeing as how they had it on the floor with the other Amiibo.

E Yeah! e 2 D

Britt 11/02/2016 11:33 AM That's annoying. I got Daisy today as a present.

I can't reply on your Majora's Mask post, but I wanted to say, you can do it! I defeated majora without fierce deity mask, but don't think I could do it with only three hearts!

E Yeah! e 2

JohnnyTLP 11/02/2016 3:21 PM Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards and Kirby Super Star Ultra are my two favorite titles in the series. Sorry I can't recommend a more modern entry in the series than that, though.

Actually, impromptu random gaming confession: Despite Kirby being my favorite 2D platformer, the most recent series installment I played was released in 2000.

E Yeah! e 2

Brandon 11/02/2016 3:24 PM I got two Kirby games from that are still on my 3DS but I haven't got around to them. The new 3DS one looks alright though.

E Yeah! e 2 D

Woominator 11/02/2016 11:29 PM note: this was in 21 februari 2016. still being commented on -_- (no offense)

E Yeah! e 0 Brandon 08/10/2017 10:24 PM Well, I've left this discussion open for over a year. That's pretty impressive. Anyways, I'm closing it now to talk about Cave Story. Thanks to all who participated. It's been a good one. I'm getting a little sentimental over here. Just a little dust in my eyes.

E Yeah♥ e 4 D
