Monster Hunter Stories Gets Three Shiny New amiibo Figures

Now announce the game for the West please...

2017 Im sure.

Capcom better bring this and all the amiiboes over.

Also Amiibo for MH5 please. I want a shelf full of badass monsters.

surprising that they don't have support posts. maybe a new manufacturing process? or maybe they jsut edit them out.

Seeing new amiibo announced is always bittersweet. I love collecting them because they look really cool, especially these ones, but my wallet hates me...

Are there any news about Bayonetta amiibo? It looks like it disappeared

Oh man. Please Capcom and Nintendo being the game and all those gorgeous Amiibo to the US.

I'm not a huge fan of amiibo, but I love Monster Hunter. So I'd probably buy these.

Qurupeco figure? You have my interest.

My list of 3DS games of 2017. There's some life left in the handheld next year. Looking forward to MH Stories!

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King
Ever Oasis
Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns
Monster Hunter Stories
Dragon Ball Fusions
Level 5 games: The Snack World, Inazuma Eleven, Professor Layton, Yo-Kai Watch 3

Why are the original 3 MH amiibo on cool looking clear plastic bottoms but these seem to be on the SSB line ugly brown bottoms?

@Jamotello No, they designed them with logical poses. So no need for columns of urine streaming from their legs. Nintendo didn't think of that for the Smash Bros. range but took it into consideration for the later ranges.

@rjejr because those are prototypes.. they'll all have thick and dark bottoms eventually

I'm glad they have the uniform amiibo bases. Fair enough the yarn yoshis don't, but otherwise I think you should be able to look at an amiibo and recognise it as one regardless of the character or franchise

i heard of monster hunter stories a while ago but what is it o.o

@Shinji Well that's depressing, I have never liked the brown.

Kirby did get a nice sahde of blue so I suppose there is hope.

I really like the bases on the Dory and Nemo DI figures, but those are done so I suppose it isn't the best example. Doesn't mean they don't look good though. I'll probably pick these up on sale just b/c.

Shame there aren't any core series MH Amiibo. I'd buy them all.

@Xaldin same! But my wallet doesn't mind so much. The misses however......

Even though I was hoping for main-style amiibos, these are ok. I'd get Qurupeco.

Freakin' Qurupeco!! Y U Damage my spear so easily, brah?!

These Monster Hunter amiibo look so nice. Hope this game gets a Western release date soon. Also waiting for news on the Corrin amiibo.

My interest in amiibo has been declining for a long time, so I'm not bothered with these. However, I'd like to be able to play the game.

Hells yes. Gi'me Gi'me Gi'me. I'll make it rain for these bad boys.

[scuttles off to AMAZON JP, sees first 3 up for preorder, locks it in]

Need.... western.... release date.

I swear if this game doesn't get localized, it'll at least get a fan translation patch down the road. And if not, I'll learn Japanese if I must. One way or another, I will play this game.

@Oubie What!? No interest in Shakedown Hawaii?

@JaxonH I'm with you. This may be the one game that makes me regret not modding my 3DS, if it doesn't come to the west...well this and TGS, both capcom games go figure

See, I believe they brought over the Famicom R.O.B so importers did not create a shortage in Japan (Similar to how Western gamers are importing Japanese games on an increase in recent years and thus retro game stores are short on certain games.). Reckon it might be the same for this too.

@Dave24 There is a rumor about the NX getting a port of Smash Bros for Wii U (Or maybe a 3rd "for NX port" just like 3DS and Wii U) so maybe if its true, they would be saving the last Smash Amiibo in the run up for that and/or an additional bundle...

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Most likely because they decided to base them on the renders, which were designed before amiibo were finalized.

@KTT You heard correct, DI is done They had a couple of figures for the new Alice in Wonderland movie - Mad Hatter, Alice, maybe 1 other, but I don't think they bothered w/ a playset, and the Finding Dory playset and separate Nemo are the last pieces ever as far as I know. They also had Balo from Jungle book, and some guy named Time, no idea where he was from.

So no new DI game this year for Wii U, and Lego Dimensions is only getting more packs for the first game, no new starter pack game, though Skylanders does have a new game. So not only is Wii U being mostly neglected by Nintendo this holiday - only Paper Mario - but it will also have less 3rd party games. And for what feels like the first time in many many years there is no new Lego game on the horizon either. The past few years Wii U owners had Lego Batman 1, 2 and 3, Lego Marvel, Lego Hobbit, Lego Avengers, Lego Jurassic Park and just recently Lego Force Awakens. So Wii U may have been bad last holiday, but at least it had Sonic Boom for kids who don't know any better. Really empty under the Christmas tree this year for anyone only gaming on a Wii U.

@rjejr You may want move on 3DS. Seeing the comment I think there will be more games than on Wii U (I don't own WiiU so I may be wrong); Pokemon, EO and MH - that's more positive.
