Not confirmed but saw this posted in another forum. Awaiting on an official source. If you have info please post.

"Link is top selling amiibo in NA, EU, and JP. Mario is top in AU.

63% of amiibo sold in NA.

Free game 2nd half of the year that will allow NES/SNES games to be played (on a timer) by tapping amiibo.

Card-based amiibo coming."

There's an interesting idea. A lot of people have asked about a VC sub. Amiibo is an interesting way to do it. Eh, a glorified REALLY old demo as a part of Amiibo stuff is neat. Not amazing, but neat.

Some people always have a cellphone on them. I'm so awesome I always have a 3DS.

The demo vc games from some amiibo adds a tad more value but also helps promote the vc and classic games to those that may not be familiar. Good marketing approach.

Card amiibo nfc stuff is good for games like Animal Crossing and Pokémon with tons of characters but would also allow smaller scale games to possibly get them too.

Oh. I was thinking make the NFC chip pretty, not actual cards. -facepalm- That'd be neat too, if only the brutal murder of my wallet if I bought a pack. And then several more.

So the Amiibo thing is just for a demo? Isn't that basically Smash's masterpeice? I mean come on, who dosen't own smash. A full VC game would be better.

Not hard to sell out of 63% of your Amiibo stock whenever you only printed 12 of some figures.

I would love this.

We know we're coming up short in a few areas but we're working hard on those and our attitude's really good and the morale in the place is still good. Contrary to what everyone thinks at the moment, that we're falling apart, that's the furthest thing from where we're at. I hope the effort from those developers hopefully reflects that.
