    Brace yourself for nuttiness, Animal Crossing fans -- In the U.S., Isabelle and Digby only come with the Festival Game (in a bundle for $60), K.K. Slider, Reese and Cyrus only come in a triple-pack, and only Tom Nook, Lottie and Mabel are sold separately.

    Cripes.

    Oh, and apparently the retro three-pack is up again on Gamestop.

    Tom Nook should be bundled with the game, AND part of the three-pack, AND sold individually.

    You should be basically unable to avoid him.

    I don't mind the 3-packs only because I want them all anyway. I think bundles are slightly cheaper than buying them individually.

    I feel like that analogy is better used for the inevitable Resetti amiibo.

    Now that they can track things like play time through the internet, I think that if you don't play for a week they should just charge you for a Resetti amiibo and mail it to you without telling you.

    I wonder how hard the come by the Animal Crossing cards will be on launch day. Ideally since they're easier and cheaper to produce Nintendo could flood retailers with 'em, but knowing amiibo...well, who knows what the hell could go down?

    I would get a KK amiibo if there were a version that played KK songs when you pressed it.

    Like those singing bass fish plaques. Only, y'know, classy.

    It's one thing to force torture on someone. It's quite another to make them ask for it. And they will ask for it.

    So I've ignored buying a Sonic amiibo for months now, I've ran into them several times and said "yeah no thanks"

    I bought one today

    Putting him in Mario Maker is too crazy to ignore

    So a couple of questions

    1. Is the 8 bit modern Mario only in the WiiU bundle or is he separate and when are we getting him? I know classic Mario is on 9/11

    2. When you use an Amiibo in Mario Maker is the character just a skin or do they retain their original move sets? Like can you spindash as Sonic, shoot as Mega Man or Samus, or use your sword as Link, Marth, Lucina?

    8-Bit Modern Mario is only in the Wii U bundle for now in the U.S.

    But if you get twitchy, you can try importing him from Japan or Europe.

      The link seems to be dead, so I assume it's the Shovel Knight amiibo that was rumored.

      Was an actual amiibo this time or was it still that mockup that's floating around?

      It was an actual Amiibo an English Game location offered for preorder. It was in special Yacht Club Games packaging, so no promises he'll be in Smash.

      Yeah, that's what I assumed what would happen all along.

      I could see Nintendo doing small print runs of some of their more successful Indie partnerships like Shovel Knight and Commander Video, but the prevailing internet assumption that "AMIIBO = SMASH CHARACTER" is a bit overblown and frankly incorrect.

      Yeah, this seems to be just an amiibo, not a smash announce. Which is totally fine, it looks awesome!

      Plus they could always still add him at some point to Smash - there are already duplicates of a bunch of Smash amiibos with the Mario series
