Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is now less than a week away from release in North America, which is a sentence sure to delight many and slightly irritate those in PAL regions and Japan that need to wait a little longer. With release so close there are no doubt plenty of Wii U owners getting ready to receive their pre-orders, so the latest Nintendo Minute episode should be of interest to those ordering some amiibo and the GameCube Adapter game bundle.
Those are the goodies that get unboxed by our hosts Kit and Krysta in their video, though it's the amiibo that are a little more interesting — a game case and the adapter aren't the most interesting items to unbox, in truth. It's Mario and Marth that get unboxed, and those that feel toys should be kept in pristine boxes — as opposed to being used for fun — may want to look away. Kit doesn't mess around with Mario.
Check it out below and, to make those of us around the world jealous, some of you in North America could take the chance to tell us what Smash Bros. treats you've got pre-ordered.

Is Krysta getting hotter with every Nintendo Minute?
@cfgk24 No.
Will they still be scanable in the box?
Strange start to a comments section.
I've worked out that I can probably afford to get one every fortnight. Which'll be good. Gives me time with each character.
@danjohnson141 No, unfortunately. There's this metal sheet thing just below the figure that prevents the scan from taking place. GameXplain made a video about it on YouTube if you wanted to see. That same video is also on amiiboinquirer.com I think.
@Scary_Old_Lady Ah! you just don't appreciate finer geeky ladies.
@danjohnson141 supposedly not, i havent seen anyone try it but there is a sticker in the bottom of the box that may or may not stop you from doing so. im still gonna try it when i get mine
Watched this earlier, i like Nintendo Minute but i think they need to inject a little something into the show to make it better.
Aw man... I need some prerelease Amiibo in my life! For my channel and for myself, maybe next year?
Can you tell me the exact height of the amiibo packaging, trying to set up the shelves in my display case but don't know the size of package.
What ever happened to the old duo that did the video on the Wii every week? I can't remember their names, but I used to love those when they came out.
No close ups on the Marth face. Apparently folks are upset about that.
@danjohnson141 No because there's a strip of metal blocking the scanner
@cfgk24 I find her so uncomfortably awkward. I guess if you're into that sort of thing...
Maybe it's only me that got annoyed that they didn't zoom in toward the Bundle Box to see how you take the items out and what it looks like before you take anything out of the box.I'm wanting to keep the controller in the box and not use it and just use the adapter and Game without touching the controller.I've got a few controllers to burn through before I even think about using the controller included with the game.I think the controllers will become Valuable and Rare to find in new condition maybe someday.Appears that the NTSC version has the controller below the adapter and beside the game so that's a good thing to me.Hope it will be the same for the PAL version.
So...are they wearing pants or what?
@WiiLovePeace Lol. At first I didn't realize that guy was from Beyblade, and thought I he was just letting out a big, painful one. Pfffft.
all wonderful! especially Krysta!
@SanderEvers I ordered it on Base.com and for some reason they don't have it on their website at the moment but it's still in my order history and they haven't said anything.I checked and it does have the controller in the bundle box.
@kupo bahahahaha that works too!
;_; I want it now!
Well, I have kept some Gamecube controllers... 19 of them, and the Smash one coming soon.
Why 19? 18 wired ones (16 for Double Dash LAN, one still in the Wind Waker Gamecube bundle which remains boxed in my Zelda collection, and one from the Tales of Symphonia Gamecube), and my WaveBird for strictly personal use.
I can't wait to play this game!!!
I watched a quality video comparing the E3 versions to now and some of them look terrible (maybe not that bad). Marth is definently the worst with half a missing face and a cheap bent sword. Most are still fine though like Samus, Fox, Mario, Donkey Kong(although now has a plastic shell) and Yoshi.
Europeans get the hell over it
You guys got donkey kong trilogy and numerous special editions this year.
One week is nothing
I like Nintendo Minute. Although I do miss Nintendo Week that used to be on the Wii.
@SanderEvers Oh I see what you meant when I looked closer.It actually said nothing about including a controller with the Game I bought on the website I bought it from.Well thanks for saving me the disappointment.That kinda annoys me now and there was an offer to get some money off the controller if I included the controller in the same basket the game was in.The discount didn't work properly and so I decided to just not buy the controller and canceled that part of the order
@WaveWarlock Sorry, but to me, all your "improvements" sound terrible. I like the show the way it is - watchable for both children and adults. And I find both hosts quite likeable (him more). They sound like normal geeks/fans and not like paid hosts reading scripts. Flashy Nintendo music and green screens would turn this into a cheap Japanese commercial.
^^ Damn I miss the 80's
Those 2 guys sound like Bill & Ted rejects!
IGN did a pretty good job unboxing these amiibo. Wished Nintendo minute had done a close up so we can see Marth's face.
AMIIBO IS LIFE. ROARRRRRR
In all seriousness, these two people annoy me. They are pretty obnoixious. I just feel like they spent more time fooling around than unboxing, it didn't seem proper. People from Nintendo should be more official.
Just my opinion.
I wish you could use the amiibo without ripping the boxes...sigh I'm not even a pristine collector I just think the boxes look nice and would want to keep them.
@Ryu_Niiyama I agree. That is the hardship of the collector I suppose, whether to have a lovely package or a useable product. If only the boxes could be akin to n64 game boxes, where you could get the game out without absolutely ruining the box.
