Don't try 'okay', try better. THERE IS NO JUST OKA- 

Nah seriously, you did pretty good

The game is coming to NA on October 2015, and the Amiibo will be exclusively sold with the game as part of a bundle. No word on pricing or any other sort of thing. I /think/ Europe is getting it too, but I'll have to look around for that.

I'm just gonna lock this topic since the rumor was proven to be false.

I think the problem a lot of people are having here is that the game isn't finished in terms of content, even if said content is being added later on. If literally any other company besides Nintendo released a game light on content but said the rest of it is 'coming soon over the next few months' and released it at the full $60 anyway, the gaming community (and I'm sure this includes a few people here, too) would be in an uproar. And really, making a game where most of the focus is on the multiplayer anyway only have one game mode and five maps at launch is...kinda sad, regardless of the originality of the game itself. I'm pretty sure even the first Call of Duty to support online had more content than that at launch.

It's like if they released Smash Bros with half the characters of the previous title, one game mode, and a third of the stages, but still charged $60 and said "Eeeeh, we'll get the rest out eventually we just want our money." There's no excuse when other companies are releasing full online experiences with their games from the start, and then adding to /that/ at a later date.

I know I'm certainly not buying it until they add more content and I can get a few other games off of my Nintendo backlog first. (Though that last part is really no fault of Nintendo's, I'm just a lazy bum with a large Playstation backlog too >_>) But that is to say, I'm sure it's a great game. It seems wildly original and a lot of fun, it's just not worth my $48+tax at this point.

Like other people in this thread have said, it's just a good, currently-unfinished game with a lot of polish.

Off the record, the president was rumored to have said "We might not even try with this whole amiibo restock thing, I dunno"

Well, this is pretty awesome. I was just thinking not too long ago how much of a bummer it was that I couldn't make 3DS games if I learned the Unity engine, but this is fantastic news. ^^

I don't think it's BS. One of the main reasons I don't like online multiplayer is specifically because of voice chat. 99% of the time, it's not used for anything other than a podium for 9 year olds and immature 30-something neckbeards to scream how much they're going to do your mom, or blasting random, garbled music as if it was being played through a potato.

My favorite uses for Amiibo so far are through Splatoon, Smash, and Code Name STEAM. 

With Splatoon's brand of Amiibos, you get whole new missions to mess around in.

With Smash, you get way more powerful AI to battle against.

In Code Name STEAM, you get whole new party members through the Fire Emblem series...even though I only own Ike at the moment, it's still cool.

But like Sorceror said, the main problem comes in NoA's incompetence when it comes to stocking the things. Especially with the Fire Emblem ones...what's the point of having special characters in Code Name STEAM if you can't even buy the things?
