Pre-orders for the Amiibo figures are now starting to go live.
The Nintendo Switch is potentially nearing its lifespan, and several Wii U games haven't found their way over as ports yet.
I think it's better to leave games like AC: Amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash forgotten on the Wii U. Best case, they are mediocre games; worse case, they are very bad. It was a dark time for the Wii U, and the first only exists to sell Amiibo cards, whereas the second was put together in a couple of months with a shoestring budget, and it shows.
The rest of the list does have some really cool games, though. I would love to see a remake of Star Fox Zero with decent controls, and Xenoblade X doesn't require that much modification to work.
Same as Paper Mario color splash. One of the best wiiu games and getting even better with dual screen. Same reason why i prefer Splatoon 1
This article leaves out Nintendo's most controversial game to date devils Third.
I personally found the cover system really fun in that one compared to at the time most fps games completely lacking one.
They should remake Starfox to the switch 2. Very beautiful game during gamecube days.
Kirby is always ignored or forgotten by people, so good to see it mentioned here.
Play Kirby Canvas Curse on DS, and then play Rainbow Curse on Wii U, they're really fun and unique 'platformers' without any actual jumping.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
A new list goes over eight of the the most useless amiibo, ranging from the Shadow Mewtwo card to the Qbby figure.
I am getting more and more interested in to how these will be used. If it is some kind of avatar than can retain experience and attributes from game to game, it would be amazing. I just can't seem to find anything that goes in complete depth as to how these will be used in their entirety
With all the downers people have had on Nintendo, I can see from this they will own Christmas like Santa and the Coke a cola ads.
They will likely finish strong, and before you give a thumb down fanboys, realise that x-mas is about toys and kids.
They are the Disney of gaming but they need to realise this and capitalise more by using their characters for other stuff.
I'll be avoiding this blatant cash grab.
Pre ordered the whole set. Even if these had no functional features, I would probably still buy them. I like them from a collectors stand point. Definitely look cool.
even as simple figurines, the price is not bad, add in whatever electronic chip they have inside, and $13 sounds fair. I would have still preferred a more competitive $9.99 each.
But its not the end of the world, i might not pick up all of them but probably 3 or 4 at launch
