I keep forgetting to post this.
I dunno if you guys have been keeping up with Nintendo's instagram stories/snapchat stories but they've been posting pics from the Switch events these last couple of weekends.

This neat Squid statue keeps showing up in all the pics they take of the Splatoon area and I was realizing...it looks pretty much exactly like a giant sized version of the Squid amiibo that's been out.

Spoiler

Clearly, giant amiibos are confirmed.

Actually I wanted to point out that the Squid is an easy money amiibo they could continue to release in a few different colors, maybe even chase variants. a Pink one whenever Splatoon 2 comes out seems likely, and maybe some new squiddos with hairstyle/weapon changes. I still want a nice roller one ;-;

I expect figures based on these two:

Yeah those would be perfect to launch with, or more recolors lmao.

From the Press getting their Switch thread, GameXplain got theirs:

The Guardian looks like its HUGE. Is it the same price?

 

[Curler]

Nope, hogher prices. I figured it was jumbo-sized when I saw the price.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I only want Botw Zelda. Has that hit Amazon yet?

 

[TheSuperSakura]

Yep, and they've closed preorders on all the Zelda BotW amiibo from what I understand. I missed them all Amiibogeddon for me on the 3rd most likely.

Lame. I'll wait, I don't want it that bad.

 

[KingBroly]

I think Gamestop still has pre-orders for the BotW amiibo.

Speaking off, these amiibo

Can't say I'm thrilled.

Where did we get this info from? I already pre-ordered the Guardian and Link Archer one but have no idea what they do.

Also Best Buy has pre orders up for the amiibo still.

GameXplain has a video detailing it.

Archer Link looks like it'll give you the most stuff, or at least the possibility of the most stuff.

Personally I don't like it. I pre-ordered Zelda and the Guardian, though. The other 3 shoudn't be much of a problem to get

 

[PtM]

What do the Smashmiibos do?

As far as I can tell, not a damn thing

I wrote here some Kotaku level stuff about what Nintendo can do with their amiibos. Now I know that every Zeldamiibo is explicitly supported and bow my head in shame.

I thought these are all items you can get normally through the game otherwise still though?

Saw both BOTW Links at Walmart today. The archer one looks pretty cool. The rider one looks ok, I know you can't see his face under the hood but I would have liked it better if it was more featured in the parts you can see. I didn't want either so I didn't try to check out but they were out at the bottom of the amiibo shelf.

[Thoraxes]

So I managed to finally curb my addiction somewhat.

Only getting the Guardian from the Zelda BotW wave... For now.

 

[TheSuperSakura]

Well, Best Buy is now preparing my amiibo. I wanted to hold out for Amazon again but seeing as how I'm no longer a prime member I decided to take the plunge to Best Buy.

Is it me or does Link archer have huge ears. They look really odd, lol.

I think I'll only be getting Zelda and horsie Link amiibo. Guardian is cool but that price is not that cool.

Remember, link raider has no face painted...

[Persona7]

Why are the new amiibos more expensive? I understand the giant one but not the other ones.

 

[Zalman]

Have you guys seen this? Apparently there are data in Breath of the Wild for three new amiibo in the Zelda 30th line: Majora's Mask Link, Twilight Princess Link, and Skyward Sword Link. Sounds pretty interesting to me, although I wish we got some of the Zeldas as well.

Yeah, was gonna say reading that, that's a lot of Links lol. Surely some other characters could get some love. Zelda, of course, but maybe some fun ones like the Happy Mask Salesman or Tingle.

 

[Zonic]

I get Link was the most popular in the US, but man, there's gonna be more versions of Link than Mario at this point:

- Smash Link
- Smash Toon Link
- OoT Link
- Wind Waker Toon Link
- 8-bit Link
- Wolf Link
- BotW Link (archer)
- BotW Link (rider)
- MM Link (aka Young Link)
- TP Link
- SS Link

That's 11 versions of Link, compared to the 7 versions of Mario:

- Smash Mario
- Super Mario series Mario
- Silver Mario
- Gold Mario
- 8-bit Classic Mario
- 8-bit Modern Mario
- Dr. Mario

 

[D.Lo]

Mario's basically the same guy in every game, Link is a completely different character.

That said, it's true, seems silly there are two BOTW Links. And Smash caused a lot of it by having Smash versions of characters.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Considering we have Link amiibo for LoZ, OoT, MM, WW (twice), TP (both Wolf and human, the latter twice), SS, and BotW (twice) we might as well go all the way and just do every Link at this point, lol. We already will have every 3D Zelda covered.

 

[Zonic]

omg, I completely forgot about Wolf Link, that makes 11 of them.

....yeah, I guess all those jokes of "yo nintendo's gonna make a version of EVERY Link" are coming true.

.....gimme Wind Waker Ganondorf as compensation for not being able to get that figurine with WW HD.

 

[zigg]

Huh, I hadn't noticed this, probably because GCU drops them back below $13

I'm sure when they do a Skyward Sword HD they'll release a few Amiibo for that.

 

[Triforce141]

Link with his Loftwing would be a great amiibo

 

[D.Lo]

I would buy every single Wind Waker one. Tetra (Zelda one should have been Tetra), Aryll, King of Hyrule, Grandma, Medii, Makar...

 

[TheSuperSakura]

Same. I would absolutely love a Makar amiibo. I even bought the little wind waker play set just to have a little figurine of him.

Awesome find, thanks for sharing!

BTW, you should definitely make a thread. I don't think many are active ITT nowadays and I think a lot of people would be eager to know of this.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I hope the BoTW amiibos go back up on amazon launch day and not after the fact.

 

[spyroflame0487]

I was relatively sure the new amiibo are a bit bigger than the regular ones like the Smash line. They were supposed to be around the size of the Monster Hunter ones which were also larger.

If anyone has them, can we get a size comparison?

Kind of bummed it's not a Skull Kid amiibo but I'll take any Majora's Mask amiibo.

The Link ones I saw just looked like a normal amiibo size, certainly no bigger than Wolf Link or 30th Mario, but this was just based on a brief look at them.

I completely forgot about that. Hmmmmmm, what to do now.

Also I'm sorry, lol.

 

[bumpkin]

Scored Waluigi and Daisy at a decent discount from Best Buy, still need to track down Wario and Rosalina. Then I'll have the entire SMB Series.

I just need Wario and Waluigi since I grabbed Yoshi off ebay the other day. After that I'm going to work on grabbing some of the Smash ones I still want.

My Breath of the Wild Amiibos shipped today. Hopefully I get lucky and they get here early.

 

[RootCause]

Zelda amiibo available at Amazon. But no 20% discount this time around. Pretty lame. No feeling it anymore.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I preordered it. Gonna see if I can get CS to refund me the 20%. They did last time for Callie and Marie.

I wish Zelda Amiibo was up on Best Buy, since I have a 5 coupon I could use on it.

Toon Link too?

 

[Zonic]

Quick question. I'm gonna let my friend borrow my Wii U so he can play BotW along with WW & TP HD, and realized "oh damn, if he's gonna play TP HD, I should let him borrow my Wolf Link amiibo so then he can scan it & give me extra hearts for BotW". Is it read-only for BotW, or will it be limited to one profile/game? I think I still need to register it with my system, but would be nice to have Wolf Link have more than 3 hearts when I play BotW.

This is awesome.

I got my BotW Zelda amiibo early today, now I play the waiting game for the other four that say they'll arrive tomorrow.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Man if they made a few other main characters from Breath of the Wild i'd never complain about anything with Amiibo again.
(or do a Hyrule Warriors set)

 

[pete_clarf]

With all the Switch hype, I kind of forgot that the BoTW amiibo are out today too! I just went and double-checked my Best Buy orders to make sure everything was in before I drove out there and was reminded that I have five amiibo to pick up!

I still need to order Alm and Celica too.
