Rumour: Dataminers Uncover Evidence Of Diablo Themed amiibo

It’s not exactly the most surprising thing that could happen. If Dark Souls can get an amiibo, then why not Diablo III?

I started playing it 2 days ago. Necromancer is really OP, all you need is a golem to kill a few monsters for you then corpse explosion will wiped everyone out!

I'd definitely buy that little treasure goblin.

gotta collect em all, amiibo!

I really want this game, being so much like Gauntlet, but mainly due to the very over priced nature, I've never been an Amiibo person myself, just never saw the point

If this is the big Diablo announcement that's been rumored to occur at Blizzcon, man, that would suck. 😑

I won't be playing Diablo 3 on the Switch, but odds are I will get those amiibos.

Seems very likely

Good on Nintendo for extending the Amiibo line to third party devs. I’m happy to see this working out. Blizzard isn’t just a PC game company, it’s a video game company with the goal to make amazing games. They lost sight of that focusing primarily on one cash cow MMO for the last 14-15 years. Sure they’ve had expansions for other titles, and World of Warcraft was a monster success... But they need to keep growing, they have the capital. They’re not some little indie developer a good number of their fans make them out to be. They’re one of the last surviving brands from the 90s not picked up and eaten by EA. That foundation is built. Let’s focus on other areas of the house. I want to see them grow, the Amiibo is a step in that direction. Game on!

ive got Diablo 3 pre ordered and cant wait to play it, havent played any d3, (only d2 yrs ago) so if these rumors are true ill def pick up those amiibos

@StarSurfer you realize they developed overwatch as well right?? Game of the year 2016. Blizzard has done a lot more than just focus on “one cash cow mmo for the past 15 years.” Seems to me like you literally have no idea what you’re talking about dude.

Im not interested in the amiibo, in the game I am though

Comments restored and we have dislike buttons now. Hmm.... 🤔

I hope other Amiibo will be compatible with D3. Can I get a Mega Man armor for my Demon Hunter? Can I scan an Inkling Amiibo to get a Bloblobber or NZap? No? OK. Still looking forward to jumping back into Diablo.

@StarSurfer StarCraft 2 says hello to you too lol

Please please please don’t do something stupid like make them exclusive to Blizzcon attendees. Even exclusive to the Blizzard store would be a drag, but I could live with that as long as I can do an international order without paying an eBay scalpers rate.

Deckard Cain amiibo please.

@Dazzle Depends on whether you feel you'll get value out of the digital content (depends on the game and Amiibo and the digital content value add can vary dramatically) or whether you like them as something to collect.

Bit hard to tell you one way or another, it depends on whether you think they're worth it to yourself or not. I believe they are going to re-release the entire Smash line in Japan at least around Dec - Feb so if you plan to get in then it might be a good time given many of the older ones are hard to get or go for an arm and leg on eBay.

Hope this release doesn't have gimped audio like Dark Souls.

Skeleton King and the Butcher maybe? Make it happen Blizzard.

@Retupmocnin so he jasnt changed very much from the diablo 2 version. Good to know.

@GamerDad66 Nope. Audio is fine. Game run in 60 FPS.

@whanvee D2 is a challenging game. D3 is a lot easier, you need to crank up the difficulty. I never once use health potion, my magic attributes restored my health every time I killed a monster. I remember in D2 health potions are actually needed and dodging attack is a necessity... in D3 I massacred everyone when I arrived.

Still fun though, it's a comforting game.

I hope there's a Demo, I'd like to check this out without dropping $60.

@Retupmocnin I really dont remember having a dodge option in D2. Maybe I was doing it wrong,lol.D3 is pretty easy compared to 2. I haven't gotten the chance to play as the necromancer in 3 yet and I've tried to learn as little as possible as I knew I would buy him eventually. Here is my chance, hope he was worth the wait.

@Balta666 When was the last expansion for this game? or signs of an SCIII? I'm familiar with StarCraft having played since the beginning. It's all about that Zerg Rush.

@2legit2quit I was a bronze league player, had the game on PS4, I'm what you call a port beggar as far as that game is concerned, I want it on Switch... Overwatch was the successful result of the aftermath of project Titan. I'm very familiar with both games. For a good chunk of time before that. World of Warcraft was a dominating force long before Overwatch dropped. Whole BlizzCons were built around that. Everything else was kept aside. Only in the last 5 years, other games have started to be part of the Blizzard family. It's good to see them branch out again.

@StarSurfer it is just that you said that they did nothing more than loving of a cash cow in the last 15 years and they actually did the amazing StarCraft 2 episodically (I would love for a new one but the game is still very much alive online therefore I don't expect any time soon)
