I WISH I WAS AUTHORIZED TO GIVE OUT ACTUAL PRIZES SO TAKE A METAPHORICAL COOKIE

Not gonna lie.... Thought Dedede was new too and I may have looked back a page at the last pic....

Meh, doesn't matter. You still win my fake cookie.

While i have a bitter resentment for amiibos I was happy to find my sister and I a Sonic today :3

I JUST GOT CAPTAI FLACON FROM BEST BUY!!!!!!! My face when I got it:

Just picked up Mega Man and Sonic from my nearby GameStop.

Saving up money to get Sonic, after that I will save up for Sheik. My collection of amiibo are coming along nicely, I still don't have any wave two one's though.

Well some leaks have been showing up recently showing that the Male and Female Inklings from Splatoon, Greninja, and Jigglypuff could get some Amiibo's soon. This is not confirmed, so take it with a grain of salt, but it's still interesting to speculate on...

Leak Link.

It isn't just Nintendo, though. The port strikes are also to blame.

Nintendo is a Japan-based company, so it's obvious that they care for their "home base" more than the rest of the world, even though Japan is way smaller than the US. Nintendo also shows this "error" with Pokemon; there are dozens of event exclusive Pokemon that were only given away in Japan.

But Nintendo of America don't manufacture them, nor do they have any say over what NoJ does (NoA have a lot less control then they really should have). So this petition would not accomplish anything.

Also Nintendo aren't creating artificial scarcity, they just don't care to produce as much of certain figures (e.g. why bother printing loads of the more detailed "Rosalina & Luma" Smash figure, when they can just produce loads of the more simplistic "Rosalina" Super Mario figure instead, since they do the same thing in-game?).

Nintendo doesn't cover these events though. The Pokemon Company International is in charge of what event Pokemon get distributed. Nintendo just mass-promotes it.

Didn't the port strike end though?

That's not exactly the case here. It's more of poor planning and assuming their all star line up is the only thing that will sell, so they somewhat neglected the others at first. But instead of issuing more of the rare ones, they're more focused on newer things. I wouldn't say they intentionally created artificial scarcity so much as lacked the foresight to prevent it. I also don't think they're playing favorites with countries as the issue is everywhere it seems; the same may not be rare everywhere but everywhere does have rare ones.

^The port strikes did technically end but it'll probably be weeks or months before we see any difference. And the effect they had on amiibo are somewhat questionable.

The list of Amiibo's compatible with Mario Party 10 is confirmed.

Wario has his own franchise and actually has some degree of a fleshed out character. Waluigi is not, and will never be more popular than Wario, and only exists to play second banana to Wario.

I mean, Waluigi is funny and goofy and all, and I think he will get an Amiibo. But let's not pretend he's more than he actually is.

Exactly. Wario is ew no, but still has some fans from his WarioWare games. Waluigi is Waluigi tho. How can you not love him.

I might've bought a Daisy and will admit there is some loss of money there, but still nowhere near as much desire out there for her as there is for Waluigi.

Waluigi exists to be in the extra spot for tennis.

THIS IS BULL**** WHERE THE **** IS WALUIGI

Maybe Waluigi and Daisy will get amiibo, but a patch will add them to the game to keep it from being revealed this soon?

Why wouldn't they just release them now then? It's not like anything is holding them back, and I doubt they'll make a wave of just Waluigi, Daisy, Toadette, and Spike. Maybe they just think Waluigi and Daisy don't have enough fans to warrant an Amiibo or something to that effect...



I'm sorry if I come off as really annoyed right now, but this is one of my favorite characters from back when I was first introduced to video games, so I get pretty heated whenever Nintendo ignores him for no reason whatsoever. Mario Kart 7 was bad enough (Why put in one of Waluigi's best tracks if you don't make him playable? Oh, and who replaced him in that game? None other than the one off Queen Bee from Galaxy 1!) A major reason of why many believe Waluigi is a bad character is because he doesn't do anything, he worthless to a lot of people. He's just Wario sidekick/Luigi's rival with a few goofy lines and characteristics. It doesn't have to be that way though, he has so much untapped potential that by simply giving Waluigi his own game you could flesh out the character to be one of the more complex characters in the series. He could be a misunderstood wanna-be criminal with a heart of gold; He could be a greedy cheater, despite the fact that isn't all that good at it; he could be an insane villain who only wants to bring chaos and have fun doing it; he could be a hopeless romantic who knows that his crush on Daisy will probably not work out, but will do his best to save her from evil when the time comes and the other hero's are busy doing there own thing. Point is is that Waluigi has too much potential and a growing fanbase, so it sucks that he gets denied any chance of this by everyone at Nintendo, instead using him as a filler roster slot in Sports and Party games.

Wow, sorry about the paragraph. I just get really heated about when Waluigi is left out in the cold.

Quote:

They would probably come out with Wario, DK, and Rosalina.

Another thing worth noting though is that these Amiibos aren't "Mario Party" Amiibos, they are "Super Mario" Amiibos, meaning they encompass the entire Mario series and will likely see a lot of use in the future. Just because Waluigi or whoever else don't get a figure now for Mario Party, doesn't mean they can't get one later to coincide with another game. If Next Level Games are working on another Mario Strikers or something, and it has substantial Amiibo support, you can be sure Waluigi will get an Amiibo then, since he's their favourite character.

Which is definitely why Wii Fit Trainer gets one instead. <.<

hav u ever been on rule 34?

Take the following with a grain of salt

So a random CPSIA certification popped up yesterday, and this time with no photo or name attached like gold and silver Mario did. People on the subreddit were already able to deduce from the item number that it's a figure in the Smash line rather than the Super Mario line:

"Super Mario Set of Amiibo figure's use the Item Number: NVL C AB
Super Smash Set of Amiibo figure's use the Item Number: NVL C AA
The (unknown) figure uses: NVL C AA"

But someone went a step further, analyzed the number and compared it to other figures in the line so far, trying to predict where the remaining characters could land (including this mystery figure), the results of which you can see here. Judging by his predictions, this mystery figure is most likely a Pokemon. So with Greninja and Jigglypuff potentially being leaked, we can assume it's one of them and call it a day right? Not quite.

Personal opinions incoming: Personally, I noticed that wave 3 and 4 figures tended to get certified around the same time as all the others in their respective wave. And wave 4 was only recently certified; it wouldn't make sense for a wave 5 figure to be certified so soon, especially when as of right now we don't know who would also be in wave 5 along with those two. This figure seems to be all on its own; separate from wave 4 and probably coming before wave 5.

With that in mind there's only one possible solution: This figure is Mewtwo. Now let's ignore how the idea of a Mewtwo amiibo releasing soon would guarantee his development is almost done, and focus on something else. This figure was certified after wave 4, before wave 5 is even announced, and, most importantly less than a month before Club Nintendo announces its elite rewards. While Club Nintendo has largely ruled out the possibility of physical rewards by claiming elite rewards will be a variety of digital titles to choose from, it could be fairly easy for them to backtrack and claim "we never explicitly said there wouldn't be a physical reward". I'm not saying to count on any of it (I'm not), but it admittedly feels rather coincidental to happen now of all times.

So in the end my money is on this mystery figure being Mewtwo, with it being a sign that his release is imminent, and with a slim chance that the figure could be exclusive to Club Nintendo.

I don't really like Waluigi because I find him kind of annoying and pointless. Mind you I don't really like Wario either. Mind you mind you I don't have strong opinions for any Mario characters aside from a liking for Luigi and Rosalina, and strong dislike for Birdo.

I'm sure Waluigi will get an amiibo. They should be able to patch support for future amiibo. I think Waluigi, Daisy, and Toadette will be a wave 3 for the Mario line.

To be honest, Wario was SO much better in the Wario Land titles. He wasn't gross, was much beefier, more serious, and more adventurous than Mario. I have no clue how he got his knack for being a disgusting slob in the WarioWare games.

Waluigi.. Ehh. I like how goofy he is, but Nintendo barely gives him any love. He deserves his own game, seriously.

Daisy is basically stuck as a side game character, and they'll probably never give her the starring role in a game. I still have my copy of Super Mario Land for the Game Boy, and I can still remember when I beat Tatanga for the first time..


EDIT:



Good God, Gold Mario looks perfect.

Bowser is huge o-o

Gosh, there are so many Mario amiibos on the shelf at my Toys R Us today that I wouldn't be surprised if in the future, amiibo's slogan would change from "Your favorite Nintendo characters come to life!" to "Your favorite Mario characters come to life!" Also, when the time comes, can anyone post what happens when you scan gold mario in smash or MP10? I'm assuming it'll just bring up regular Mario but I'm curious.

Waluigi & Daisy are rather stuck like that. Popular enough that they have a high chance (but apparently not high enough for a guarantee MK7 >.>) for being in most side games like Kart, Party, and Tennis, though it's doubtful they'll ever get enough love to feature enough of them to flesh out the character and expand the potential they hold. Pauline really gets overlooked alot. Aside from being in the classic Donkey Kong, she mostly gets ignored aside from the Mario vs DK Minis games. Would love to see her in a MarioKart game.

Daisy actually can't appear in a main series game for legal reasons.

A small bit of googling doesn't give much answer other than she wasn't made by Shigeru Miyamoto. Could be that he lacks the rights to use her in a main-series Mario game.

Daisy is owned by Gunpei Yokoi who is now deceased.

She was originally made as a replacement for Peach in Super Mario Land. This was also for legal reasons, as Yokoi didn't have the rights to use anything other than Mario for Super Mario Land. This is why everything in the game is replaced by some kind of equivalent (Sarrassaland instead of Mushroom Kingdom, Daisy instead of Peach, etc).

Daisy was literally only meant to be used in that game, but after Yokoi passed away, he still held the copyright for the character. However, Nintendo wanted to use her as a female friend for Peach, as well as to pay tribute to Yokoi. So as a compromise, she only gets used in spin-offs since they don't do much with her character, and is kept out of bigger games because they would tamper with whatever vision Yokoi originally had for the character.

Basically, Daisy's creator passed away, and since he was a well respected employee (creator of the original Game Boy) and because of legal reasons, Daisy is relegated to minor spin off appearances only.

Very interesting!

yeah never knew that but what about waluigi?

If it makes you feel any better Sakurai has trouble buying the Amiibos that he wants.

It'll just bring up Mario. It looks simply like a Mario figure with gold paint.

I think at most you'll have a little tag that says "gold" on it but that's a stretch.

Golden Mario amiibo was delayed this morning to April 3rd, but was confirmed a mistake. Stores will still be getting it on March 20th, with all stores having a 2 per person limit until the line disburses and if there is any stock left. It will go to the shelf where it will have no limit. All online orders won't be affected.
