Re: Nintendo of America Suggests That Fans Hoping for a Gold Mario amiibo Should Head to Walmart Stores on 20th March

@Porky: I clearly stated i'm trying to help my friends out - I have three friends who want the Gold Mario amiibo, and they don't have a lot of time between school and work. So I'm merely just looking to get a hold of them and they'll just pay me back what I payed. It's not the first time we've done this, and it probably won't be the last - these things are hard to obtain, and we're taking every advantage we can so we can actually collect them.

Re: Iwata Doesn't Feel amiibo Has Shown Its Full Potential Yet

I have to agree with people above - Ninrendo needs to focus more on stock than what games have compatibility. Granted, I like watching my troop of warriors have at it on Smash and earn goodies in the process, and I like getting random presents whenever I pop in Hyrule Warriors, but the main reason I got these was because the figures are just cool, period. Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely willing to see what they can come up with, but you need the figures to actually do so.

I also kinda see the cards as a a double-edged sword too - definitely great for 3DS for on the go, but at the same time it feels like they're just more willing to give up on making more figures, which I really don't see as a good thing.

Re: Feature: Tales From the Front Line of amiibo Collecting

Let's see...

I picked Mario, Peach, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Link, Samus, Kirby, and Pikachu at GameStop on a midnight release for both Pokemon games last year.

Then I grabbed Fox in late November at the Walmart I work at, as there were only 3 left in the store.

I managed to find Zelda first at another GameStop and paid with store credit. Luigi, I ordered from Walmart.com with the money I got from SavingsCatcher. I then got Little Mac, Captain Falcon, and Pit as imports from Japan (a tad expensive, but I've been doing odd jobs like shoveling snow, and that does pay nicely). I got Diddy Kong from a guy in Missouri - which was hilarious when it arrived in a toaster box. My sister was bewildered trying to figure out why I'd be getting a toaster in the mail.

I then pre-ordered Bowser, Sheik, Toon Link, and Sonic from GameStop. Bowser arrived first, even before February, Sheik and Toon Link arrived around the middle of the month, and Sonic will finally get here tomorrow. I ordered Lucario from a seller in Japan on eBay (he really ships them fast and has them wrapped up nice for free shipping).

Then there was Rosalina... my friends managed to get ahold of their own at Target, whereas I ordered mine off of a Japanese seller on eBay (different than the other guy). It shipped around the same time as Lucario, but didn't arrive around the same time. Which got me paranoid. So I panicked and bought one off of a guy in Virginia. Had a good laugh when both arrived in the mail on the same day. But I wouldn't say I'm entirely out of luck with the Japanese one - it's still in its packaging and could come in handy.

I've now since pre-ordered PAC-MAN and Ness from some website, and Wario and Charizard from the amazon.uk site. And there's still 12 more I want to get when they get released.

Re: Guide: How to Transfer from a 3DS to a New Nintendo 3DS / XL

So I would just hit "No" on the screen that asks if I'm using a standard SD card, since I'm currently using a microSD card in an adapter. So once they're done transferring, I would just take my microSD card out of the adapter and just plug it into the New 3DS, no PC required. Am I understanding this right?

Well, I'm looking forward to this. Even though I just got the N64 version on Virtual Console for 250 Coins on Club Nintendo because I either had the majority of the games on offer, wasn't interested in certain ones or just didn't have enough coins.

At any rate, I do like seeing how games can change when remade, so I'll have my copy picked up after work on the 13th, and then I just have to wait for my New 3DS in the mail.
