Post by: TheGameNinja on July 12, 2015, 04:21:38 PM
Anyone else suckered into this Amiibo scam like me? Managed to get Marth, Wii Fit Trainer, and Rosalina the other day on Target's website.

If you care enough you will, because I certainly don't care enough to repeat myself.

Clearly you don't care enough to do anything because you haven't answered any of the questions in your thread in years!

For the record my first Amiibo was Peach (of course). Kirby and Luigi followed as Christmas presents with Wii Fit Trainer (and one for my sister) coming soon after. My memory of which came when is fuzzy after that but I ended up getting Golden Mario, Jigglypuff, Silver Mario and Rosalina after that. I have no plans on opening the two special Mario figures.

You don't own both Peach Amiibos? Pfft, and you call yourself a Peach fanatic.

My Amiibo so far. Except those ones I mentioned before that are on their way.

Wish I could throw down that much money for Amiibo. What's that, "Star Power" Mario?

It's from this World of Nintendo figure set. They're super cheap, usually like $3 near the register at Walmart. Pretty nice little toys for the price.

(I don't have these, only the Star Power Mario)

Oh, I thought there was a special Mario Amiibo I was missing. You had me scared there. Still never seen those at my Walmart. Are they common where you live?

Yeah, at least they were. Haven't been looking for them lately. When I've seen them they're with the trading cards, usually on a shelf near the floor.

...but there are more Mario Amiibo coming. Gonna have to track down those 8-bit ones once they're out.

Man, I'm so glad they don't make toys about anything I really care about.

I mean fuck, if there were a Jet Set Radio line of Amiibo toys, I'd be screwed!

Kinda lame that the only way to unlock co-op mode is to buy a toy in the 5 minutes before it sells out.

Remember when Co-op was a standard in video games?

I don't recall old Megaman or Castlevania games having co-op.

You're right, Co-op never existed before, my apologies.

It certainly wasn't standard for games like Shovel Knight.
