Kind of want the Kirby one to unlock that Kirby face helmet in Mario Kart. But I'm not paying $12 for that shit. Nintendo has found a way to make some pretty expensive DLC.

this whole 'plastic figure as DLC' trend ends this year, right? Or is at least on the downslope, gotta be.

'plastic instrument music games' got overcrowded and collapsed over their own proprietary weight, this will happen soon too, right?

Probably, but not before next year when the release Disney Infinity: Star Wars (3.0 Edition).
yeah... I'll buy that too... b/c I'm a sucker.

This reminds me, the Marvel stuff and BH6 got me interested in Infinity so I looked up some gameplay on YouTube and... the fuck. It looks completely unfinished and total shit. Maybe that's the point, I don't know, but even the PS4 version has flat or low res textures, all environments are low poly as fuck, basic shading, and environments are just floating planes in the sky that fall off into nothing. The character models and attack animations seemed well done but the game as a whole looks 20% finished if that. Is there a reason beyond "Lol kids will buy it"? Reminds me of super early PS2 era open world games.

Yeti · « **Reply #21 on:** November 25, 2014, 02:07:38 AM »

I'm probably going to wind up getting a few of these despite not owning a Wii U.

I really don't like the transparent plastic chunks they shoehorned on a lot of the more flimsy looking figures, is it easy to remove?

Rare. Says right there in the title.

Honestly though, I didn't expect akimbo Samus to net that much moolah already. If that's NOT some tech brat with buyout money burning holes through all of his pockets...

Your opinions are not far off. The game is definitely lacking in some areas. The visuals don't bother me at all though. My biggest issue is the speed of the characters. They are SOOOOOO SLOOOOOOW!
Other than that, it's tolerable fun to play with my kids.

normally i think reselling is not worth the effort, but between amiibos and the GC adapters, could've made a decent extra chunk of change this winter.

Quote from: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-12-07/nintendo-heads-for-best-holiday-in-years-as-profit-seen-tripling.htmll

The Japanese game maker that lost 23.2 billion yen ($193 million) last year is on a surprising comeback with hit game titles like Super Smash Bros. and a new line of interactive figurines called Amiibo. At least eight analysts raised profit estimates or ratings since September, with the two most recent calling for profit to triple to 36.8 billion yen.

Such results would mark a vindication of sorts for President Satoru Iwata, who stuck with a strategy of selling his games only on Nintendo devices rather than offering them on smartphones and tablet computers. With Super Smash Bros. and Mario Kart 8 gaining popularity, the Kyoto-based company projects it will sell 3.6 million Wii U consoles this year and take in $1 billion from Amiibo sales in the U.S. alone.

I have all of wave 1 now and even got a few extra for gifts. Some of the paint is crappy on some of the figures, but I've found many that have great paint jobs on them. I've yet to use one of them once so far.

Don't hate me, hate bestbuy they made it all too easy to find them all even if my local store didn't have the hard to find ones. I'm a power consumer when it comes to them. Which one('s) were you having a hard time with? I was able to track down villagers and marth without issue.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #41 on:** December 10, 2014, 01:01:42 AM »

No, I hate that you gave Nintendo money. Stop it.

I also bought Toad Tracker, NES Remix, Smash, Bayonetta 2, and Hyrule Warriors. And none have been opened yet! I am part of the problem.
