So there will eventually be a Bayonetta amiibo right?

Yeah... Lucas, Roy, Ryu, Corrin, Bayonetta, Cloud are the final Smash Bros. Amiibo to come.


At this point, the only really "rare" Amiibo are some of the Fire Emblem characters and Gold Mario. Rosalina is also somewhat hard to come by.

Yeah, both Marth and Ike had reprints I believe are pretty easy to find nowadays.

Lucina and Robin are still tough to find, but I'm sure they will come back just as every other one pretty much has well.

I'm trying to wrap up the original smash run, I only need Robin, Lucina, Meta Knight, Lucario and Shulk. I see Shulk is available on gameslop, the rest I haven't seen since launch and they were all really hard to get.

Preordered my Kicks and Lucas from Best Buy. Still grabbing the ones I like, but avoiding the catch them all fever. I think the craze is dying, though, or stock is way better. Maybe both? All of the January wave is easy to get on Best Buy, which usually sells out first thanks to the GCU discount.

So I assume Nintendo is going to be touting Star Fox Zero as a "flagship" game...at least they should I be, I think...

But anyway, I hope it will have some amiibo support and it's own amiibo line. Ooooh, Slippy Toad, Peppy Hare, Pigma Dengar, Wolf O'Donnell, Krystal. Lot of characters to draw from. That is a series I'd definitely go all in for if they release an amiibo line.

Ahh Nintendo would be fools not to have a Star Fox line.

Got my Shovel Knight amiibo today and it's definitely what Amiibo always should've been. Not only does it unlock some new challenge stages (like the Splatoon amiibo for their game), but it allows you to level your own "custom knight" like you would a Disney Infinity figure. You scan in the amiibo and then you play through the level killing stuff/collecting loot and it levels you up like an RPG and gives you equipment each time to level. It's excellent.

Cool. How's the quality on it. From the pics I saw, it looked a little bit cheapish.

I'd add the Mega Yarn Yoshi to that list :(

I picked up Shovel Knight on Wii U over the holidays and have been playing off and on... Damn... Wasn't going to get the Shovel Knight Amiibo, but now I'll probably grab one when I'm picking up Kicks and Lucas next week at Best Buy. Nice they worked in some good integration with the game.

K.K. Slider, you mean. And nope...the only way to buy him separately is to get him used off ebay or something.

WTF is an Amiibo? Some kinda doll you gotta buy to play a game you've already paid for?
