Nintendoes!

while this may be true for now, Mario kart 8 will have a big draw holiday season, coupled with smash bros. we're going to see mk8 sale well through out the year, and eventually it will be new adopters. 

I've taken it places yeah. road trips will be perfect!

It makes sense though, with all the figures due to come out retailers cannot simply keep making room for them on the shelf. Online outlets should carry every amiibo, at least you would hope. I suspect the main nintendo characters to remain on the shelf in stores and with each new wave coming out, they'll probably only carry a handful of the new ones.

They're not discontinued..

That's good. Just hope Nintendo does larger runs for each wave from now on. 2nd wave pre-order on Amazon.... almost all unavailable except for Luigi.

This is all sorts of GREAT! the pricing is fair, the content is mind blowing, and the timing is perfect in november! however.....can't help but wonder in the back of my mind...is this releasing in november to strengthen mario kart 8, or to make up for a possible smash bros delay.

this IS something nintendo would do, and the timing of this coming forward, it would have been more appropriate to announce this in a september direct

Finally begun to release my creations to the public. Many more to come
Preview is in the video, if you like, the download is there as well.

a moth hahaha. welcome back

& nano assault.

only ones i can speak on, but i have alot on my wishlist for the future

maaan i really hope this game sells well. Played the demo, and was INSTANTLY impressed. But if i buy this day one, ONE of these titles wont be purchased this year:

Captain toad - Pokemon Sapphire - Smash bros U

Well i had been playing since i came home from work ha so just now hitting the internet. Never played any so I'm starting on the 1st game, its very nice. I like the combat, the visuals even for the 1st one are very grand and fluid, so I'm very much looking forward to the 2nd game. 5 hours in, no complaints so far. and the costumes/sound effects are so awesome. 

I think launching it on the same day as OR/AS is kind of a bad idea. I know this could be like last year where they launched 3D World and LBW on the same day. But Pokemon is a sales juggernaut, more so than Mario and Zelda. Launching it on the same day as one of the games that's supposed to improve Wii U sales just seems a bit risky to me.

i agree. however I'd be buying both day 1 if so ha

Things i would like to see on Animal Crossing for Wii-u 

* More furniture interactions such as being able to get into tubs, cook, etc 

* Being able to launch miiverse by interacting with a computer (furniture)

* being able to launch any virtual console game by having the wii-u as a piece of furniture (similar to NES items in gamecube AC)

* Option to have random wi-fi visitors

***** be able to mail letters to your friends list******

and as a bonus, bring back the Gamecube Island so i can have a get away home!

found out some inside information working at best buy, but some of the amiibo's have a higher margin value than others. for example when i was looking at the store cost (which also is our employee pricing) Mario cost more than Donkey kong, $11.05 mario and $9.56 dk. may not sound like a big deal, but that $1.50 difference tells me that nintendo is selling mario figures to these retailers at a higher price than others, which also must indicate one will be more valuable in the sense of use across other games.

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?

Imo, they aren't being used like at all...

My only problem is my Link Amiibo most likely won't work with MK8... unless they patch on Link. That would be sick. .. Maybe Link is there waiting for my Amiibo to unlock him. Doubt it.

So i guess my one concern is how a Mario figure may have more value/use then say a Link, Animal Crossing villager, Samus or whatever.

I see what you mean, but if you think about it, chances are all those amiibos will have use at some point between 3ds games and wii-u

only one i see possibly not would be wii fit trainer.

I would assume that Zelda, Ganondorf and sheik will be added when they release for Hyrule support too?

as well as link and villager for mario kart 8

Nintendo games release on Fridays, smash bros isn't the 24th, that would be a monday. 

Hoping this makes its way to NA as well, want a bigger screen to play smash on.

i feel like i SHOULD finally upgrade, but man i really like how my launch 3ds fits in my pocket..
