Ridley, Inkling And Wolf amiibo Will All Launch Alongside Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Wolf looks awesome, but does this mean Cloud Player 2 will be available again?? AT LAST!!

How long will it take for scalpers to ruin it and buy up all of them like last time's farce

@Bunkerneath

My thoughts exactly. But I'm afraid they won't do it since it says "some" amiibos would return, and the "alternate color" ones are probably on the lower side of probability scale.

I'd love to be wrong, though.

ridley will be mine

I hope they really restock old ones. I have a few on my wishlist.

But shame on them for slapping to new ones (since Metroid & Samus for Metroid Samus Returns) a higher tag price.

Do the redesigned characters get new amiibo or are they reusing them?

I'd assume the old ones will be compatible anyway.

Definitely picking up Wolf and Ridley. The Wolf amiibo looks really awesome btw.

Looking forward to adding these to my amiibo collection I can't wait to see the Pokemon Trainer and Snake amiibo I also wonder if we will get the new Zelda and Link versions? I certainly hope so..

I'm wondering if the original Inkling amiibo will work just the same?

@jswhitfield8 Fair enough, a lower price is better anyway. Thanks

I'll be looking to grab the Ridley amiibo, and maybe Wolf - though I'd just be getting him because I have Fox and Falcon and not because I'll ever use the amiibo...

Gotta collect 'em all! Managed to preorder Ridley and Inkling earlier today!

Good bye money. It was nice knowing you

No Pichu Amiibo? Pokemon Amiibo are largely useless, but still... It's Pichu.

Now what about Snake?

I’m down for Ridley and Wolf, and eventually Pichu, Snake and Ice Climbers.

Inklings (and eventually Daisy) are surplus for me since I have non-Smash variants - though not being part of the Smash set will annoy the completionist in me.

Young Link depends on whether or not SSBU classes the Majora’s Mask Link as Young Link. Unfortunately BotW lured me into a small army of Links...

How come they pump the price of 20% ? o_O

Ow, stupid of me, yeah the Switch taxe even on Amiibos, duhhh... erf ! :/

@Cobalt considering less people are interested in them these days I would have figured it would have lowered to 9.99. But you're right "switch" tax.

@sixrings

Nintendo probably wants to compensate for the money they lost on stock market ? They can count on die hard core fans for that !

This is pretty cool, but means nothing to me. No stores in my area carry amiibo anymore, including EB Games. They all phased them out ages ago.

Very cool designs, these ones!

And man, I never got around to buying Smash 4, so I was never aware that Wolf wasn't in that game, and subsequently never had an amiibo before.

@Cobalt
Man, that's not how stock value works.

@Pod

Why do you think I put a smiley at the end of the sentence ?

PS : I worked almost 10 years in a bank, treasury, dealing-room and risk managment... soooo maybe you get it now ?

Well here’s hoping somebody decides to re-release the zelda amiibo. Those are the ones im looking for...

Still waiting for the Ashley Amiibo to be announced! Out of the old Smash Amiibo though, I’ll pick up a Link (so that I can play BOTW as green cap Link instead of gender fluid ponytail Link, and unlock that horse) as well as a Bowser Jr for my dad.

I may get Wolf but my amiibo collecting days are mostly over as Nintendo's being more reasonable with unlocks this gen. Gone seems to be the days of locking meaningful content behind amiibo. Gone also seems to be the days of special editions, only BotW, FE Warriors and Xenoblade 2 got them on Switch.

Can’t wait to get some of these new amiibo but I already have all of the old ones that I want. (I just wish Nintendo would give them better functionality!)

I'm personally looking forward to a Snake amiibo.

I could have bought a 4k tv with all the money I spent on amiibo

And what do they add to the gameplay aside of looking nice.

@Cobalt
Alright, I did have a hunch you were just being silly there.

Must get epona and twilight bow in botw!!!

@Pod

The next time, I will put an " ironic " at the end ! More efficient !

I just wishs you tapped them once and they were in your system forever. Mine are under a giant pie glass thingy. So I never touch them.

Virgins will line up to buy these

Shame there not available to pre order in the UK yet, I really want the Ridley one and would rather not pay silly money when there sold out straight away.

@JTMnM where did you preorder? Bestbuy doesn't have them online yet

Edit: I preordered Ridley. Now I just gotta wait for Wolf. I wonder how BIG Ridley's amiibo will be. Probably not BIG enough haha

@GamePerson19 US? Here's Ridley and Inkling. I recommend following Amiibo Alerts on Twitter!

At least we have confirmation that the old ones are being re-released.

Maybe I won't have to import the 15 that I'm missing...

Lets be honest, Amiibos come out when Nintendo doesnt have any games to release. Same with the classic nes and snes. They are going to find a way to take our money one way or another. Im not saying other companies dont. The xbox one x was just upgraded hardware because they didnt have games either. But it is still frustrating. I really thought when they let wii u die that slow death that meant that they had started to jump onto their next systems development. Either that didn't happen or they are super slow developers.

@JTMnM
Thank you!

@Gold_Ranger 👍

I just need Lucina and Ridley then I'll be all set.

That Ridley looks amazing I can see where the money from the price hike has gone. Glad to hear the other amiibo are coming back, may finally be able to get a sonic for a decent price.

@sixrings odd you say that when these amiibo are being released at the same time as the biggest game of the year. The end of the year has Smash, Pokémon Go and Mario Party, defiantly not a time when Nintendo could be accused of having no games. I'm not saying these aren't cash grabs but they defiantly aren't in lieu of games either.

@JTMnM Ah, that I would now see a Ridley preorder page, after my Gamers Club Unlocked ran out in the 8th. Really wish i'd gone with my impulse to re-up my subscription, just a couple weeks or so before the program was ended.

Really hate that $16 price tag on these amiibo, especially since the build quality isn't particularly better than any of the other smash amiibos. I felt the same wsy about the botw amiibo. They were all $16 a pop and some of them had less detail than the smash amiibos like bayonetra yet cost more. Like what?

Ridley and wolf!!!!

Hopefully I can get my hands on a toon link amiibo. It’s the only zelda related amiibo I don’t have. Very frustrating:p

@Arpie well I don't think mario party is a big seller especially since mario 10 was a disaster. Maybe there are games but not as much as there should be and these amiibos basically are like selling a deluxe version of a game. Again no different than xbox selling forza basic edition, deluxe edition, premium edition. But it's still frustrating. I'd rather have more games. Also the games they are selling lately are super short. Kirby, mario tennis adventure more, treasure tracker. I know people like to be snobby about games like call of duty and or grand theft auto. But those games can be played forever. So even if you rate those games 6/10 the fact that you can play them forever is worth something. A 9/10 nintendo game (btw those games aren't 9/10) can often be finished in less than 10 hours and that's it.

I hope I can get a hold of the inkling. It's the only "series" I'm collecting.

@jswhitfield8 Well, all the standard amiibo have always been $13, so it's not really a price drop, it's more these new ones are for some reason charging more, which is not a smart move imo. Amiibo are popular in part for their low price point.

I'll say Ridley looks good /detailed enough at the $16 price point, the others look like standard amiibo fair though, hopefully this is not going to become the standard price. If amiibo were still a fad this strategy would be more viable, or if they re-released particular, popular amiibo at that price point people would be fine with it (aka female corrin, rosalina and luma), but amiibo popularity has gone down a lot since it's hay day.

I just want Wolf, before the scalpers get all of them. Already got Fox and Falco on my shelf. Wouldn't mind picking up a suited up Samus and Ridley either.

@sikthvash A bit late, but yes, they should. They said any of a characters current amiibo will work, even if from a different series. This should include any version of the regular inkling made up until now. Even squid forms, since I imagine it's like the FP Miis, where you pick the FP's looks when you register it anyway.

As for the Squid sisters, Octolings, and Marina/Pearl amiibo, I don't know if those will count. I wouldn't be surprised if Octolings ended up as DLC for Smash later though.

@Regpuppy Thanks! Not sure if I can really justify a third Inkling on my shelf =0p

@sikthvash Doesn't help it's the same orange girl from the first two, just with a different pose, either. Lol
