Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Sora amiibo Locks In February 2024 Release Date

I hope they print a lot of these. Sora is a popular character and many people will want this figure.

With this I will complete my Smash Amiibo collection. Is it me or his face looks a bit weird when zoomed in?

I was expecting Holiday 2024 honestly. Not quite a decade of amiibo but a nice journey.

@Yoshif3 : That will depend on whether Nintendo issues any alternates of other characters (like male Wii Fit Trainer, female Villager, the Koopalings, Alph etc.). We did get alternate amiibo for characters such as Bayonetta and Corrin, so there is a precedent, though not a consistent one.

But I doubt it though. Amiibo are seldom released anymore, and while I hope that existing amiibo will continue to be supported on the next hardware, I can't see there being the same influx of the figurines (if at all) as there were during their Wii U/3DS heyday.

Even pre-existing figurines are being completely ignored (such as Detective Pikachu and the much sought-after Pikmin) when new games in their respective series/franchises are released.

The game is also getting new spirits

@Sisilly_G true... I wish they would do the alternate costumes because I have the alternates for Corrin, Bayonetta and Cloud... and because my OCD needs them....but my wallet and shelf space would hurt.
Didn't know the Pikmins one was that rare... I have it.
The one that's been a pain in my ass has been the fluorescent Boo.

I don't pick up every amiibo, but I definitely plan to get the Sora one because ot the legacy behind Kingdom Hearts. I never had the opportunity to play them as I never had a PlayStation, but I got a PS5 a little over a year ago and one of the first games I purchased was the complete collection of every Kingdom Hearts game.

I started playing the first one around this time last year and want to say I beat it either in January and February. There were definitely things I liked about it, but I don't think I can call myself a KH fan just yet. The world's didn't really have all that many areas, and yet I found myself getting lost constantly as I felt the game had a rather poor sense of direction. Lots of backtracking to previous areas as well. The combat was also quite difficult for me, and from the very get-go I had to do a lot of grinding before I could take down the first boss in Wonderland. It proved to be quite a frustrating experience.

I jumped into Chain of Memories shortly thereafter but fell off pretty quickly. I know it's necessary to understand the broader lore, but I didn't want to have to revisit the same exact worlds I just played in the first game. Take the battle mechanics I already struggled with in the first game and infuse it with Sticker Star elements where your attacks are perishable, and it was the perfect recipe of "I don't want to play this" for me.

I hear KH2 improves a lot of elements from the first game, and it adds a lot of Disney worlds and characters I'm really eager to explore. But I don't know if I can push myself to get through Chain of Memories. I guess I could watch a playthrough online or something, but I don't really want to do that. So I'm in this weird limbo right now where I kinda want to keep playing and I kinda don't.

It doesn't help that I've never played a single Final Fantasy game, so a lot of the references are lost on me. I binged almost every Disney movie before playing KH1 though, but I'm admittedly not as big of a Disney fan as a lot of people. So maybe KH just isn't for me, I don't know. But I haven't given up on it completely, and I can appreciate the franchise for what it is. I'm happy Sora is in Smash because he deserves it from the vocal outcry.

I don't regret purchasing the collection, as there were things I quite appreciated. I popped off so hard at the Fantasia boss fight toward the end of the game. Flying over London in the world of Peter Pan was magical. The visuals held up shockingly well for an upscaled PS2 game. The story wasn't as cringe as I thought, and I was actually pretty invested. And, of course, Yoko Shimomura's music is always a treat.

I love this game

Kingdom Hearts, one of the worst franchise to ever grace consoles.

Shulk reprint available for order on Target website just FYI to fellow Amiibo enthusiasts

Play asia has listings but no links yet as far as I can tell.

Edit: Already sold out at Best Buy, Target and Gamestop (online you can do in store preorders).

This still feels so surreal. Mickey Mouse merchandise sold by Nintendo. Even if it is through a little keychain thingy.

Oh yeah, I guess Sora is there too.

After Sora we're in dark Amiibo waters.

This will be the last Amiibo I buy. I don't have a full collection, but have nearly every one I wanted to get.

@Yosher Nintendo have published Mickey games before

@Not_Soos Dude I fully hear you. As someone who just went through the entire all-in-one package for the first time over the course of this year, I would honestly treat CoM like one of the cutscene movies they did for the DS games. Pull up a YouTube comp and don’t bother riding it out with that slog of a combat system. It’s easily the worst one gameplay-wise. KH2 is def a massive improvement on the first and feels so much better to control, BBS and DDD are what the inbetween spin-offs SHOULD be and are worth your time, and the rest still merit a viewing as their weird Frankensteined movie edits for the added lore.

Anyways back to the amiibo this’ll be my first to pick up since Bayo! I dropped off of the things long ago now but I have to make an exception for my boy

Wow, I must be the only one who enjoyed Chain of Memories lol … you can see it’s an old PS2 era game… but I liked the system. A bit like Baten Kaitos.

@larryisaman Games are different than merchandise though.

@Not_Soos don’t let Chain of Memories stop you from continuing the series. Kingdom Hearts 2 is great and yes you would be missing some context but I never completed it before moving on to KH2 back in the day and it was fine.

Also one of my favourite series of all time despite what others say. I even like KH3 even though it didn’t really have much mainline story.

@K1LLEGAL I don't think the concept of Kingdom hearts is bad. I'd even go as far as to say the first game is fun.

Kingdom Hearts sadly took a bad turn in making everything bloated and convoluted. I don't know what happened, but the writing in these game are atrocious, nonsensical, and just bad. It's word barf.

It didn't help you have had multiple games spread across multiple consoles (before the collection) just to even understand what's going on.

KH is a example of just bad storytelling overall.

Is there a full list of amiibo?

@Yosher Disney Hanafuda cards then

I think that’s what people call a s***-eating grin.
