Among all existing and known upcoming amiibo, the only ones left that I want are Robin, Lucina, Wolf Link, and Corrin. Hopefully the Fire Emblem figures will get American restocks soon for the Fire Emblem Fates release, but if they don't, I'll just not get Lucina or Robin. I won't pay more than MSRP for them.

I and several other boyagers are partially responsible

The 21.5 million amiibo cards surprises me a little. I don't doubt that they count every individual card as one "unit" (6 cards per SKU in America, 3 in Japan), but even then it doesn't seem like any of the Animal Crossing stuff is as popular as the Smash figures.

That is somewhat adorable in theory

i certainly hope not, but they've proven to be such a resounding success that nintendo would be crazy to abandon them

in fact i think kimmy even said to expect further amiibo integration in the next gen

[C.Mongler]

yeah considering amiibos are keeping nintendo afloat at this point it'd be fuckin' mad to dump them completely. i wouldn't be surprised if they come up with AMIIBO 2.0 and reshit out the entire collection again, but hopefully that won't be the case.


hopefully they just die with the wii u and 3ds but i think that's also unlikely

yeah this is probably going to happen, just new poses and likely expanded memory so they can have more than one game's data on them
