That's a great confirmation. I'm glad they didn't went with the Skylanders approach for amiibo.

Off topic, but I like the name Amiibo, it should have been the name of the Wii U.

Fixed it for you.

Because Reggie knows as much as we do?

Pretty sure it's just you that doesn't understand what these are. That's OK though. They've been explained pretty thoroughly by everyone, so you just need to look back at all the text you ignored to find out.

Ah I see. I cannot deny that I want some...just because I'm a big fan

I'm not even sure I'll open the 2-3 I'm planning on getting, doesn't seem like they really do much.

I wish there was a Wario Amiibo in the initial lineup but he isn't even confirmed for Smash yet.

Wario is in the leaked roster, which has pretty much been unofficially confirmed at this point.

Top right.

That doesn't count because there have been parts of these Smash leaks which have been false like the leaker trolling about DLC. The only characters found out this week I trust are Shulk (official reveal) and Ganondorf (hidden in an official trailer).

So will these be in stores? I'll probably only pick up Kirby. And when they're cheap. And when they actually do something interesting to the game.

As far as I know, Gamestop, Best Buy, and Amazon are planning to carry them

I'm pretty sure it's safe to say he's in the game. I believe someone also found smash to be in a list of games under the Wario name on the eshop as well

I don't understand why anybody would get the figures but not the only game they work with. (The current just figures are about half the price and I think look better - HMV has 50% of the Nintendo section for just figures.)

If somebody was going digital 4 lyfe I don't understand they would want to supplement that with physical junk. (The better convenience is lost when you still need to mess around)

cause kids love the physical junk, and it brings a new revnue stream.

For those of us who aren't getting the game I'm picking up a few to sit on my desk next to my Maleficent, and soon to be Donald Duck, Cap America, Spider-man, and Groot Disney Infinty toys.

WAT!

I think it would be cool if your amiibos show up on wara wara plaza. A little samus running around among all the miis would be sweet.

That's a brilliant idea and would likely sell the figures as well.

I have to think they'll have an amiibo data management tool - that would differentiate them even further from Skylanders and Disney.

I would be happy for that

I want to give Nintendo my money for these but they aren't telling me a price. I want that YOSHI!

He is my favorite.

I pre-ordered the Kirby, Peach, and Samus amiibos. I'll buy all of them, but it will probably take quite awhile. I'll be all over Palutena, Rosalina, Shulk, King Dedede, Luigi, Sonic, and Mega Man amiibos in a heartbeat!

I wonder if Nintendo online store will sell refurbished Amiibo (with bite marks) for half the price later on.

@Sentinator The price's have been announced for $12.99 a piece.
Definitely going after Yoshi first. Too many I'm not rich though. Not sure who to make priority after him for sure...
