Anyone buying Nintendo Amiibos?
Im definitely picking a few. first and foremost Peach then Yoshi, Link, Starfox, Pikachu, Zelda and Little Mac. Im mostly going to get them for collecting purposes. I'm still not sure what exactly these will all do. Anyone got any favorites if they do pick any?
I might if I knew what they were for
They modify the game environment in whatever way they're coded to if you try them on a certain game. I imagine they could be used from anything like special suits, to tossing that guy into a game as a character to even just ripping off Disney Infinity and doing an entire game that expands with the more of them you have.
I'm tempted to buy a couple of them or so, just as desk toys, as I don't know if I'd want to bother carting them around to use on my 3DS or with the WiiU.
Some of them look really nice, I could see myself getting the Peach, Little Mac, Donkey Kong and Kirby ones just to have on a shelf or something.
Yoshi's Ned Flanders ski suit pose kind of creeps me out though.
I might get my favorites just for decoration. Samus, Peach, Captain Falcon, Fox. I'm not too interested in their actual in-game function.
Yeah, I have a shelf with my Skylanders that has extra empty space to fill out. I might pick up the first wave to fill the shelf for display as well. In-game function....nah.Originally Posted by fake
How does this differ from buying a code to unlock content already on the disc? Many people had trouble with that concept. With all the controversy surrounding availability and Nintendo planning to replace figures with simple plastic tabs or cards, do you think the figures really negate the argument of buying to unlock content already on the disc?
Bah. Just wait for these things to hit market saturation and the price of the used toys to drop just like Skylanders (sky-who-what-now?).

Ah Amiibos... man in their late thirties harassing store clerks on the phone everyday to get the latest released figurines, and buy all of the same model to call them rare and put them on craigslist for 60$ or trade against another lame figurine... good times. Seriously I dont get it, dont expect to get a girls phone number when you pay!
I only have Mario and Link, might get a few others if I happen to see them when I have money to spend (Toon Link, Mario Party Luigi, particularly) but I'm not going to lose sleep if I don't get them nor am I going to spend aftermarket prices on them or spend time tracking shipments to stores, harassing clerks, etc, to get them.
I haven't opened them yet, only thing I have that supports them so far is Hyrule Warriors, and I'm not far enough into that to be ready for the weapon Link unlocks and whatever Mario (or any random Amiibo) does.
Yes, at least partially. You can hold a figure, look at it, put it on display. Codes, not so much. I'd still much rather there not be locked content in the game, or have a way to unlock it for free within the game with the Amiibo just unlocking it easier, but at least you get something physical for your money here. If that's not something you want, then no, it's not better than a code, but to a lot of people they are a neat little collectible.
Today Best Buy got restocked with Meta Knight amiibos... I showed up late in the day around 7:30 and got the last one.
Pretty cool to be able to get one for 13$. Might want to check your local store if you are into these.
I have yet to start collecting or buying Amiibos as of yet.
