Yet PAL regions (where the Wii U has sold the worst) had no problems with either games and still has copies of Bayonetta 2 available and the Smash Amiibo
My point is Nintendo of America continues to be the most different in terms of software releases out of the three regions and often to the negative of the consumer.
In all honesty with how quickly Amiibo Festival crashed they could have very easily made more money by just shipping actual copies of Devil's Third and Fatal Frame. Not large amounts of either by just take some resources and use them for other resources.
There's actually shelf space available in the Wii U section seen by how many copies of Rodea I see in Best Buy, Target or Walmart.
Also Amiibo Festival is critically horrific and much worse than Devil's Third and Fatal Frame.

i never understood the idea behind the animal crossing amiibos, there will be more animal crossing amiibos than the mario series, thats such an odd decision to bank on that instead of mario
Yeah, Redd is the true villain of the series. Fuck that conniving fox!
Link?

Who cares about Tom Nook? I just want an amiibo figure of Beardo. This isn't fair.
Thanks for the laugh.
Thanks for the laugh.
Animal Crossing was one of the few pre-IP expansion franchises that actually already had a decent amount of merch available for it, so I can't imagine there was even remotely the same amount of pent-up demand that the Smash line has had, and that's discounting the fact that the game they were made for as being an unqualified failure. Nintendo is really underestimating the collectible aspect of Amiibo.

Is this worth paying the six bucks for? I normally don't like amiibo but this is tempting.

Do you like him? If so, go for it. I love the way that they modeled his sweater. Gladly paid full price for that bloodsucker.

I imagine they are hung on pegs, like they are in stores.

There's some kind of cosmic hilarity in Tom Nook of all characters being so cheap.
Also the OP wasn't against Nintendo or saying Amiibo was a failure as a whole.
It was just pointing out how big of a failure Amiibo Festival is, a game since E3 that showed "gameplay" that was completely luck-based. With interactivity being dice rolls.
As well as the contrast to every other Wii U release. Nothing has been discounted this heavily for such a long time in additional to how quickly.
I own like 40 Amiibos and will pick up Tom Nook hopefully tonight.
Yeah. The packs like $23 for three characters but I don't want the llamas.

After seeing your pic I went and copied you by using thumb tacks to hang my amiibos on the wall in my game room. I only have two amiibos so far, though.

I think an Animal Crossing series was a bad idea. They're the first amiibo wave that really just feel like fillers. Like 75% of these characters are known by basically nobody unless you're a serious Animal Crossing fan. And the game they're made for isn't very good, leaving them kind of useless...
A small wave with Male Villager, Female Village, Isabelle, Nook, K. K. and Resetti probably would have been alright. But they're making amiibo for basically every character in the game and nobody really cares about amiibos for the recycle llamas or Celeste or whatever.
Anyway, I bought Nook when he was 6.50 a few days ago. Oh well, didn't think it'd go lower. I just got it in the mail today actually.
Nook really should have been in his "classic" apron, I would have liked it a bit more.

There's still a crazy ton of amiibo figures sold. The market isn't dead yet it just needs a better game to support them other than just glorified DLC.
Fuck yo mortgage and fuck yo house.

Where's the Brewster amiibo? Why is there that lame dog and weasel thing before Brewster and Kappn and Blathers?
Animal Crossing amiibos are an amazing idea because those characters make the game, but they like chose all the garbage ones outside of Nook, KK, and Isabelle and tied the good ones to a game no AC fan wants.
I agree Nook should have the apron.

okay but how much for KK slider, or better yet resettii
so you'd say they're peg-friendly, then?

KK Slider is stuck in a bundle in the US. See OP for its reduced price.
These four are own the way:
There will be twice as many Animal Crossing Amiibos as there are for the Mario series. Even though games like Mario Party 10 and Mario Tennis support them.
Not only are Daisy and Waluigi Missing but show are Mario variants of Donkey Kong, Wario and Rosalina which were shown in Mario Party haven't been made.

Bought! Thanks for the heads up. Adding him to my collection.
This just makes me sad. Why would you want your home to look like a Best Buy?
The above comments are right, the AC series should've been limited to the popular characters, of which Nook is one.
This is the only reason I haven't already bought one.
Is still a bit reaching.
In the UK charts, a game can "chart" with 500 copies sold. Examples like Bayonetta 2 being readily available are reaching too, because for all we know, they shipped like 5,000 copies which is a really small-ass number, sold half and still has half inventory out there.
In the US, Bayonetta 2 took a year and a few sales, to sell the initial shipment, stores didn't ordered more because what NoA sent to them, took a long time to sell. Threads in here were posted about the sales and noone cared, a thread is posted about the game no longer been readily available and everyone wants the game now.
Noone had any interest in Devil's Third until the rumors of NoA passing the release and still, not many preordered even so the initial shipment was small. Even the threads in here bashing NoA for passing on the game at first were bigger than the OT of the game.
Is no secret that amiibo Festival underperformed, but using that as a point to jump into NoA sucks thread #315 because Devil's Third and Fatal Frame and one amiibo at half the price.... is reaching.

Nintendo really has no idea why they're successful.
Ness breaks the gamestop website? Obviously it's because their fans will buy any plastic piece of crap they make.
Nothing to do with Earthbound.
Let's churn out every forgettable side character from animal crossing!

Wait, reading the amiibo page, and Villager isn't compatible with amiibo festival?

The Villager amiibo sold out too. You know you'd but amiibos of every forgettable character from Earthbound.

This is exactly why Nintendo didn't overprint the initial Amiibo's. With all the reprints Nintendo is actually causing some collectors to stop collecting Amiibos. I'm glad they are available but it's clear some are collecting them because of their rarity. Now that they are no longer rare, I expect we will see more sales on some figures.

Yeah, I snapped him up immediately when I saw he was available again. Villager was the only wave 1 amiibo I wanted but couldn't find at a reasonable price.
It is used to unlock a statue in the hub, but for the game per se, only character amiibo are compatible.
Guess is to separate the players which use amiibo based on characters, and empty slots which can be filled using generic villagers with 8 different looks (4 male and 4 female).

I'll only as far to admit that if they did all the Fire Emblem units as card Amiibo...

Ever since the game came out I've always wanted to be able to get the clay models they use in the strategy guide for the monsters and NPCs. Hey Nintendo, make an amiibo line based on that clay model aesthetic. There you go, I just made you a billion dollars.

Sorry, but shit posting drive bys like this annoy me. You're asking on a video game forum why people like collecting shit? Really?
Nerd or collectable shaming is annoying. Putting these on his wall is no different than the people that collect vinyls, books, video games, or even Hot Toys and display them in cases or glass cabinets.
