These things are real jerks

You can buy them, maybe, and they'll do something, probably, on your Wii U or 3DS

They unlock a lot of costumes in Mario Maker!

And just announced last night, Shovel Knight is getting his own amiibo, produced and sold by the creators at Yacht Club Games, so you can't blame Nintendo for the low production rate this time

    I think I'm at the precipice of a dark hole, all I have so far are the Splatoon amiibos and I kinda want Gannondorf, Bowser Jr., Game and Watch, a blue yarn Yoshi, the Animal Crossing amiibo and maybe that 30th anniversary Mario.

    Regardless of the rest I will own that Shovel Knight.

    The Sept 11 Amiibo allegedly went up for preorder at Target's website, but I couldn't actually preorder anything, so, pretty much par for the course. I did pick up a Jiggy restock for a buddy though.

    Edit: I look forward to being denied the opportunity to buy Shovel Knight as well.

    "So Nintendo, is the WiiU failing?"

    I'm torn on the Shovel Knight Amiibo

    On the one hand, those are cool features.

    On the other hand, they're easily the most significant Amiibo locked features in a game so far.

    The Shovel Knight Amiibo is being produced by Yacht club fyi so it likely won't run into major demand issues in the long run. Odds are they'll always have them up for sale again like their other merch.

    NOA seems legit psyched about this too. I think if Nindies takes off we might see more Indiibos and even some from Big third parties. Bayonetta seems obvious maybe even Rayman at some point.

    Yup I mean I have it on PC and Xbone already so

    (although the idea of owning it on my 3ds is nice for shovelin' on the go)

    I got a couple of Amiibos as gifts. I like the concept, but other than unlocking things the first time in a game, it is just these link and zella statues that sit there. Maybe if I was a guy who was super in to link and zella I might feel different, or if I got to use them more often for things. I think I'll probably get the Chibi Robo one because I like that little dude a lot, maybe I'll feel different then.

    The Mario Maker stuff is now a huge incentive to get them for function instead of just form

    I got a Sonic even though I don't really like the figure

    Cause having Genesis Sonic in a Mario game is too good

    The big draw for amiibo is getting neat figures of characters you like not so much the game stuff imo.

    Like that Mega Yarn Yoshi? I have 8 yarn balls ready to go as his eggs for his spot in my bedroom. I don't give a crap what he does in game.

    the world of Nintendo line is a nice option too. Not big n PVC figures with limited posability but they're covering a wide swath of franchises.

    A Rayman Amiibo would ideally not be a figure on a stand, but rather a specially made marionette.

    I understand not owning it on a particular console, but do you at least own Shovel Knight on XB1 or PS3/4? I would honestly say you're missing out on a great game if you have never played it.

    I'd say the XB1 or 3DS versions are the most desireable versions of the game.

    The former for having probably the most involved exclusive boss fight, and the latter for portability.

    Shovel Knight is also on Vita, isn't it?

    Granted that would require people to actually own Vitas, but

    I know this is greedy of me, considering this one isn't even out yet, but I'm really antsy for the Shield Knight Amiibo that's going to come with Super Shovel Knight (in, like 2020, when they're done with all the Shovel Knight content).

    I'll have you know I still sometimes give your avatar the stink eye because of that one.

    In happier news, a friend of mine swung by Target on his way to work and nabbed me a Zero Suit Samus, so yay!

    But conflicted about the retro mario Amiibos. I like the modern colors better, but who knows when they'll sell it separately.

    I grabbed Zero Suit Samus and Olimar for Raijin but then his wife got them anyway. So if anyone needs them let me know.

    I also got a Charizard just because I never saw it before.

    GameStop sold out of Ganondorf and Classic Mario literally the person in front of me
