I was so hyped when they said Marth would be getting a restock. Also these new amiibo look gooooooood.

Was kind of hoping they'd confirm Shulk amiibo would work on Xenoblade 3D. Oh well, hearing the FE characters work on Codename STEAM is very cool and makes me hope I get my Marth from B&H.

At least now, Ike feels more justified, so probably will try to get him first now.

Give me them all.

Not being tied to smash poses will let them make some better figures. I want Luigi and link, but their smash poses are awful.

I just really hope they dial in the stock issues. It's bullshit that I've never seen a handful of characters in stores.

What do you want him to do? Because that Toad Amiibo functionality is pretty much a joke.
 
Well, i guess i need Marth and Ike now, as i've been super excited for Codename STEAM for a while.

Also, Pac-Man is totally mine, as is Wario and Ness. I just wish any of my Big 3 happened in this wave. Maybe next time.

I missed it but did they basically say the Smash Mario amiibo won't do anything in Mario Party 10, only this mario and team?
 
Marth Restock makes me very happy! I'll likely be cancelling my Amazon order today! And will be pre-ordering all of Wave 4 when I get the chance.
Except Pac-man...

Dam that Majora's Mask new 3DS looks nice... but I already have the collector's edition ordered ugh (first world problems).

I thought these were supposed to use faceplates? Why are there already two exclusive designs?? Majora's Mask and MH4?

The way it was worded, Smash Mario and Mario Party Mario would have the same exact internals and could be used interchangably. However you cannot have data for both games on the same Amiibo at the same time. If you want Mario Party data on a Smash amiibo, the data on the Smash amiibo gets wiped out.

We're only getting New 3DS XL. The smaller, non-XL version had faceplates. Very lame.

Toad will be mine. I like the new Mario ones, but I think the other Bowser is better.


- actually it's not that different of a pose. But, yeah, I'm liking Luigi and Mario a lot more

They finally gave me a good reason to buy some amiibo. Marth, Ike, Robin and Lucina being playable characters makes it actually worth it. I dont care about aesthetic crap.

Is that how it works with that Steam game too? I have to delete my lvl 50 Marth to get him in that game?

EU release date for Wave 4 is April 24th. Thankfully, it sounds like after Wave 3 next month, we'll get some time to get more money to prepare for the next wave.

Do you guys think we'll be able to preorder them today?!

Ness/Lucina/Robin will get out of stock so quickly, don't want to miss that out. x_x

I am honestly hoping that they make Metaknight readily available, because that mask In Kirby looks awesome.

They won't, and man children like John will have a field day.

Man, that Ness Amiibo looks smashin'! I'm also glad to hear that the Marth Amiibo will be restocked later this year, though I personally think the Fire Emblem Amiibo's look shoddy, at best.

I just hope that it won't be as big of a headache to secure the next wave, but I severely doubt it.

there are no rosalina, dk or wario mario party themed amiibos

those 3 are smash amiibos that also work with mario party

look at the colors of the base

Which is strange, as you could clearly see a new model for Rosalina's MP10 trophy from the in-game footage.

No. Steam game is just an unlock thing. It reads the Amiibo, but never writes. Mario Party has some more functionality to it. You can save items to the Amiibo and use them.
 
So Rosalina and DK are same as smash version?

You can use the Smash versions for all nine of those characters, but the six with the red stands are getting their own Mario Party-branded amiibos.

EDIT: obviously, Toad doesn't have a Smash amiibo... so you can use the Smash amiibos for eight of those characters.

It makes sense to allow smash amiibos to work in other games, but having to wipe data is maybe an unintentional way to incentivize you to buy new lines.

Aw man, I like the larger size but I was definitely pumped for some faceplates darn. I don't think price was announced yet, was it? Also no AC adaptor, come on Nintendo! What about brand new players to the Nintendo family?

C'mon wave 4 amiibo come up so I can preorder and not stress about them. For the Super Mario amiibo line, I just take Toad and Peach and eventually Rosalina is about it for me.
i won't be getting New 3DS for a while T,T
