Again, I find great value in Amiibo in how it contributes to my gaming experience for games I'm going to play anyway, but I'm 100% disappointed in the commitment by nintendo to get them in the hands of people, scalpers aren't entirely the problem as I've seen from working in best buy warehouse that stores are simply not being sent any. my store literally got 1 diddy kong, 1 little mac and 1 pit. never got wii-fit, marth or villager...what kind of garbage is that?
@JaxonH you hit the nail on the head. Obviously we have revolutionary classics of all mascots across the generations, but you're right, not single nintendo game so far has felt like a let down for me, except for kirby triple deluxe & maybe new yoshis island, though it was exceptionally better imo than yoshi DS. I have no reason to believe Nintendos' titles for 2015 will be disappointment.
Having owned every nintendo device except a virtual boy, wii-u and 3ds are the 2 systems I've been most pleased with as a whole, the software is just BEYOND!
1. I totally didn't even know the game released 2. I'm in shock that it performed well, just shows brand name can sell anything 3. waiting for story of seasons
Really on the edge to buy this, already have the snes version on wii-u, but 1. I like luigi 2. the extras in the game makes my 2nd favorite mario game (yoshis island being 1st) that much better. however i agree with the review, the snes has a tab better audio, and that's pretty big for me. but....LUIGI!
@CosmoXY That's semi true, but then you look at the over abundance of sky landers and disney infinity figures that are sitting in every retailer and you can't help but wonder. At my best buy, we've NEVER been sold out of any figures for skylands or infinity, yet have never had a quantity of more than 10 in stock for any amiibo (i work in inventory). The way i know this is nintendo being the core of the problem vs retail, the same thing has happened with gamecube controllers and adapters.
This is ridiulous. Screw it, I'm not going to fight over these amiibos. My local best buy only got 1 little mac and and now you're telling me we wont ever have any more, just stupid. This has to be the biggest fail for the most indemand class of items. Amiibo has the potential to make an outstanding profit and sell well over millions, and they've handled this all wrong. Hype up amiibo for little over half a year, and in the 1st month of release they under manufactured quantities, and now they're discontinued. I love my wii-u, love my 3ds, love nintendo, but the Amiibo is the run-away failure of this gen for Nintendo.
man, i really wanted to vote for diamond and pearl, then i wanted to say gold and silver....but they're all good, voted " i can't decide". i will say, Diamond and pearl had the best music IMO.
man, really hard to pick, but had to choose Tropical freeze for GOTY. Just flaw less game. was an early release so it's being forgotten in the mario kart, smash and bayo hype. however, in terms of hours played, Hyrule warriors is the run away winner for me.
.........all is lost for the generations of gamers. Both hilarious and a disgrace. " You never said i couldn't walk on it" & "Was that a boss"...FACE....PALM!
@antipop621 tell me about it! sadly i only have 4, so I'm missing out on at least 1 special item or loads of ruppees per day. None the less, reminds me of the pokemon gold and silver daily mystery gifts.
I want DLC as much as anyone, and will readily buy it, but i perfectly understand and respect his stance AND he did put tremendous work into these titles, lets appreciate what he's given us instead of begging / demanding for more.
This game...it just doesn't end. and still 2 more packs to go! My friend has a theory that after the 4th pack, they'll release a 5th one with to continue zelda hype with majoras mask and zelda u that year. I would like to see some windwaker stuff added.
I'm getting more and more excited for amiibo! It's going to be awesome training them to level 50 and giving them custom moves. I already have my partner "Dark link" planned and ready. but when mewtwo comes out.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH YES!
i voted for the Digital Deluxe. It's been great getting money back, and now that future titles (some) will be doing pre-downloading, i have even more incentive to buy digital.
really don't think there's much to look into with this, considering the beefy amount of games that are out / coming. I believe the game will have a good shelf life
His story is one of many testimonies that drove me away from working in video games. my life, family and personal values are just to important for me in exchange for a near 6 figure salary
