Amiibo or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Go into Massive Debt Over Kids Toys

[TheGameNinja]

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?

[Elija2]

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

Oh snap, both Peach Amiibos? Now there's a guy who's devoted to Peach!

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.

I almost forgot about those...ugh.

[Elija2]

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!

Not unless Nintendo helps Sega make the next JSR title.

[Elija2]

Not unless Nintendo helps Sega make the next JSR title.

And thank god that'll never happen, right?

...wait...

[Hakudamashi]

Thank god indeed.

Shovel Knight Amiibo confirmed

[Elija2]

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

[Hakudamashi]

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

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

[Hakudamashi]

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

[Elija2]

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

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