Min Min's Smash Bros. amiibo Could Be Arriving Soon By The Looks Of It

Man, ARMS had such an interesting and charming cast of characters. The world and universe seemed so cool and I wanted to learn so much more...! But alas, the game reeked, and it probably won't ever come back outside of "Remember Min Min from Smash?"

New Smash Bros news!! 😃… sort of.

Is Min Min the only fighters pass 2 character getting an amiibo?

@iLikeUrAttitude Nope, everyone else is to I believe. Edit: Maybe not sora tho, reason is below.

Her arms represent all the scalpers out there, reaching for the computers and carts day one.

@PBandSmelly I love it actually, but the online meta, sucks, during the free play they had. Grab city is the best way I can put it.

@PBandSmelly I hope it does come back! The game had some great mechanics and it was easy to show people the basics and get involved. It’s just a shame it all felt a little undercooked, especially at launch.

I agree with the characters being interesting and charming. The design team put a lot of love into them

@Liam_Doolan Based on how everyone got one, I want to say yes. But as Sakurai said, he was sorta a extra fighter we got, on top of sora not getting amiibo data in the file during the final update.

I don't think we are getting one for him sadly 😥

@Kintypoo121 Oh the character are amazing, there all so different.

Hopefully the others follow pretty quickly! Pyra, Mythra, and Sephiroth are all ones I absolutely plan to pick up. Might get Min-Min, I'm not a huge Arms fan but it was still a fun game and I think she's a cool character.

@iLikeUrAttitude All but Sora have been confirmed so far. It seems like Sora probably won't be getting one since Sakurai explicitly confirmed everyone but him in the final Smash presentation, but I hope that's not the case.

@ReaperMelia Lovely Xeno 3 avatar! Also getting Pyra & Mythra are gonna be a nightmare considering their other non-Nintendo figurines would sell out hella fast.

@Axecon Thank you! Yeah, I'm worried about the stock on those two. Their other figures are way out of my price range, so I've just been waiting for the amiibo to have something for them. I'd buy a full set of Xenoblade amiibo if Nintendo ever made any more, I'd love to see more (affordable) merchandise for the series!

@Snatcher Did the other DLC fighters get amiibo data? I haven't really followed it closely. I suppose there's a possibility they could do a small update later on down the line just to add Sora amiibo data if they needed to. I'm not going to get my hopes high at this point though.

I haven't seen an amiibo in the wild for several years now, I keep forgetting they keep making them.

@ReaperMelia From what I read, yes, everyone else has amiibo data in the files, but there's none for sora, I would love to be wrong tho, because I really, really want a sora amiibo.

Tempted by Sephiroth and Kazuya amiibos but I'll probably hold off from any of those purchases. I kind have already gotten all of the amiibos I intended to get

I don't play Smash Bros, but I want Spring Man Amiibo rather than Min Min Amiibo just for display purpose.

Man if ARMS 2 ever comes out, just give us a campaign mode where you run through levels beating up bad guys, swinging on your spring arms, and taking down bosses. That coupled with an online mode that doesn't rely on grabbing constantly and you'd have a great game.

I was wondering when the next bunch would start coming!

@Anti-Matter
I haven't played Smash in about a year.
Was Min-Min the only ARMS character?

@Spider-Kev
There are 15 characters from ARMS.
Spring Man, Ribbon Girl, Ninjara, Twintelle, Min Min, Kid Cobra, Lola Pop, Misango, Mechanica, Master Mummy, Max Brass, Byte & Barq, Helix, Springtron, Dr. Coyle

@Anti-Matter
That isn't what I said/asked.
I asked if Min-Min was the only one in Smash.

Happy to pick this one up. My son still plays Arms from time to time.

And if they want to go ahead and make a female Byleth, either for Smash or Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, my wallet’s waiting.

@Spider-Kev Min-Min (Fighter) and Spring Man (Assist Trophy) are the only ones from ARMS that are in Smash in terms of playing the game, Ribbon Girl is a Mii Costume and the others are spirits (along with Spring Man, Min-Min, and Ribbon Girl)

I actually thought this amiibo already came and went, so this is good news for me. I love Min-Min, and she's a good choice to represent ARMS. I hardly buy Amiibo - my collection is six or seven of them - but I'll be watching for her.

And I hope ARMS gets another chance sometime. It was a great game. Unfortunately it's best as a local multiplayer game, and I guess not a lot of people played it that way.

@PBandSmelly The game is really good, the problem is the lack of a proper single player campaign. It has all the fonts for some very interesting single player gameplay but making it so focused on multiplayer means that if it doesn't catch on, it's pretty much an irrelevant game.

Thank you for this article, Nintendo Life, because more than any others I need to not forget to buy this Amiibo. Man I miss playing ARMS online. Or at all. I had something like 70% of the badges unlocked before I decided to start working on my backlog and never looked back.

I’m still playing ARMS, still thinking it’s the most ambitious, exciting and fun Nintendo new IP.

Sora Amiibo?
I'd love to see the 4 different versions, But Generally Speaking, we'll probably just get his KH 1 outfit, Maybe his KH 2 if we're lucky.

This is the amiibo I am most excited for, probably ever. I'm a huge amiibo collector and one of three surviving huge fans of ARMS (we are an endangered species) so I have always, always wanted ARMS amiibo.

It's a shame the base game never got amiibo support; I always adored the idea of having amiibo that you could take the ARMS weapons off of to mix-and-match them (kinda like those JP-exclusive Monster Hunter Stories amiibo that let you swap the riders and monsters)!

Been waiting on the Sephiroth amiibo. This one looks pretty cool, will ask my kids if we should add it to the collection.

Seems weird to me Nintendo would have gotten the rights to put Sora in the game w/o amiibo rights when every character in the game gets an amiibo. That would destroy me if I had collected every single one but couldn't have Sora. Nintendo never should have made that deal.

Any upcoming Amiibos-I will get ASAP and add to the collection.

The Sora and Sephiroth amiibos are going to sell like gangbusters

Of the upcoming Smash amiibo, I'll just get Min Min and Kazuya. Sora as well if he ends up getting one after all. Maybe Sephiroth, but it's not a priority for him to be on my collection like Cloud or Hero.

Steve will depend if they sell it standalone, I don't want/need two of virtually the same character with the same pose. At least Smash Mario and Dr. Mario have different poses and attires, as well as Smash Samus and Zero Suit Samus.

Pyra and Mythra will probably be a pass unless they sell them in a pack. Hopefully they do that for them. I'm baffled they didn't do a set for Pokémon Trainer and his Pokémon.

@PBandSmelly I thought it was a pretty cool game. I just wasn’t good at it. They should have included more about how things came to be.

@Medic_Alert Unless demands for certain Pokémon or Switch game calls for them - the older ones will not be remade and your choices are if they sell on Amazon otherwise eBay is your only other choice.

@noobish_hat you do realise there's a global pandemic on, don't you? Supply chains across the planet have been massively impacted and I bet NFC chips have been harder to get hold of since the silicon shortage (which is a major part of the global semiconductor shortage) problem, plus Nintendo likely still remembers when they overproduced certain amiibo back in the Wii U days and I'm sure they don't want the headache of dealing with that again.

@Snatcher Maybe we can get a Disney Infinity figure of him, instead, or a Disney Toy Box figure. Oh, wait...

She's lovely! I still love collecting amiibo

@Otoemetry If that is true, then Nintendo might as well announce that they're ending amiibo entirely, making them utterly worthless, and instead, will make their perks as add-ons you can either buy with eShop currency, or extras you have to unlock by fulfilling certain conditions within the games, just like old times.

I still think ARMS is the best new game from Nintendo during the Switch era, with Ring Fit Adventure right there behind. I want the Min Min amiibo just for collection purposes. I might get Pyra and Mythra...not sure, but they're the only other amiibo I'm interested in from the Smash series yet to be released.

Have the full set so far, so not planning on stopping now.

She looks really nice and detailed.

@Otoemetry Hahaha what amiibo did they over produce?

I like Min Min, but if they'd make Amiibo's for each of the ARMS characters I'd get them all.

I enjoyed ARMS more than smash, but probably because Smash was much the same as it has been, and I'd already played the WiiU version to death (and it wasn't that different on Switch).

The learning curve on ARMS was insane, but I loved it once I got over the hump!

All these Amiibo for characters I have not heard of, all in 2022.

It will be so upsetting if the only character who doesn’t get an amiibo is Sora.

@YoshiAngemon it's absolutely true, so much so that it's even impacted contactless bank cards being produced. Google it, it's definitely a thing.
@Tempestryke mostly the animal crossing ones I think, here in the UK they had so much trouble shifting them they ended up in the sale for a couple of pounds each! I'm sure loads got sent back to Nintendo as unsold stock, which would have been a huge headache for them back when they outsourced their UK store to the Hut Group.

@Nintendude78
He's my main, so I really hope he gets an Amiibo.
@PtM
I know, but I won't give up hope until Smash 6.

@Spider-Kev
Yes, Min Min was the only ARMS Character to get into Smash Bros.
Everyone else became a Spirit.
