Everyone still likes amiibos right?

Back in May, when Capcom finally revealed new details about the game, it was announced that Monster Hunter Stories would get not one, but three amiibo figures. It was the first time ever a major third-party publisher created their own amiibo figures (something Nintendo has been open to from the beginning), but not the first third-party amiibo (that’s Shovel Knight, from Yacht Club Games!).

And today, Capcom announced that Monster Hunter Stories would get a second wave of amiibo figures, on December 8th. This time, the amiibo are based on the following characters:

Cheval riding a Rathian
Ayuria riding a Barioth (glacier)
Dan riding a Qurupeco

Just like the two amiibo for the protagonist, you can actually remove the character from the monster. That way, you can have any combination you want: Protagonist + Rathian, Ayuria + Rathalos, or even Dan + Barioth.

Here’s some pictures for this second wave of Monster Hunter Stories amiibo, which will cost 1 800 Yen (+ taxes) each:

There are a lot of screenshots at the link. Here are some of them.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

yo dat Barioth tho

 

[jediyoshi]

No Felyne amiibo?

 

[Kinsei]

I need that Qurupeco amiibo.

No Felyne amiibo?

That abomination is getting one.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

You can remove the character from the Monster 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

 

[mStudios]

damn, they look good.

 

[wapplew]

Some of the best looking amiibo.

 

[Greddleok]

Holy shit, I think I'm going to buy some more amiibo.

 

[Possumowner]

OK,i definitely need those Amiibos,really nice

 

[Rambler]

Dan has good taste in monsters.

 

[Dominator]

Aside from Shovel Knight, this is the first third party amiibo line right?

I am not a MH fan but even I think those look cool. Might get one.

EDIT: What I ask is answered in the OP, oops.

 

[Cow Mengde]

Wow, they do look good.

Wow, the graphics also look good.

I'm not a fan of MH and clicked on this thread by mistake. First time seeing the game.

 

[Memory]

Is it just me or are Amiibo's getting better? These and the Zelda BOTW ones look really awesome.

 

[daxy]

Screenshots look great, but the anti aliasing is too good for those not to be bullshots.

 

[Cerity]

That quro tho.

I haven't bought an amiibo before but I think that'll be the first.

 

[Alrus]

That Barioth one, damn.

Also those are some very elaborate amiibos for their relatively normal price.

 

[Nights Owl]

Oh man. I want all of these. They look super well done and cool.

Except for the felyne one.... Why they would turn such cute critters into that monstrosity I'll never know.

Edit: Whoa! You can take the riders off and put them on other monsters too? That's super neat.

 

[Chunky]

That Queupeco is going to be mine. And that bugger riding it is going in the bin.

God, I hope they bring loads of these out. I wanna get Kecha, Zinogre, Barroth, Lagombi, Narga, Blangonga, Arzuros, Nibelsnarf, goreMags...

fuck

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Based on the price that would be an $18 Amiibo when it comes to the US.

The felyne is a standard price Amiibo.

Will get both female characters and the felyne. There is a good chance I never play the actual game.

 

[Aostia]

I would buy them all alongside the game, if localized

 

[plentyofmilhouse]

Nice, wasn't expecting any more to be announced. They'll look great together on the shelf.

Spoiler

RIP money

 

[Ridley327]

Considering how big a release Capcom wants this to be, it'd be crazy if they didn't try to release it internationally, but that might get tricky with what would be a 3DS game in the later part of 2017.

Can't believe they remembered Barioth, too.

 

[Samemind]

You can remove the character from the Monster 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

YES! YES! YES!

 

[SpotAnime]

This has to mean it's a shoo-in for an international release, right? They wouldn't make amiibo like this for a single market.

Believe.

 

[Mupod]

I never thought about buying Amiibos until it sank in that Monster Hunter Amiibos were inevitable.

Also BARIOTH KITTENS

 

[rhandino]

OMG... that Barioth and Qurupeco amiibo.

Please come to this side of the ocean T_T

 

[TheBaldEmperor]

I will never forgive Nintendo or Capcom if this doesn't come to the west. Y'all better buy Monster Hunter Generations!

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

I'm pretty sure I saw a Deviljho you could mount in a screenshot somewhere.

I need that.

Is Lagiacrus available as a mount?

 

[explodet]

Even the amiibo version of Qurupeco looks like a total asshole.

 

[oti]

They look really nice.

 

[Mockingbird]

Looks good. Hopefully final retail will look as good.

 

[Ridley327]

Even the amiibo version of Qurupeco looks like a total asshole.

He's just getting ready to blurt out that Savage Deviljho roar.

 

[Kas]

Don't own a Nintendo console, but I love Monster Hunter.

So Ill be getting one or all of these.

 

[KeigoNiwa]

Is this game supposed to hit the west??

 

[Berordn]

Is it just me or are Amiibo's getting better? These and the Zelda BOTW ones look really awesome.

The references always look better than the final productions.

I wouldn't get too excited just yet (though they are getting better).

 

[tuffy]

Is this game supposed to hit the west??

There hasn't been an official announcement yet. But Capcom clearly wants this spinoff to be a big deal, so I expect that it will - maybe sometime next year.

 

[explodet]

DESTROY HIM

 

[Barrel Cannon]

What is this artstyle 0_0. Is this handheld or console

 

[Ridley327]

What is this artstyle 0_0. Is this handheld or console

3DS.

 

[kunonabi]

Line does look great. Ayuria w/ Barioth and the female rider from the first wave will be the ones I pick up for sure.

 

[UCBooties]

Have there previously been Japan only Amiibos? I'm hoping that this is a sign that Stories is coming west.

 

[Berordn]

The Famicom colored ROB was exclusive for a short while, but eventually made it over.

 

[Aiustis]

Peco will be mine

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

What is this artstyle 0_0. Is this handheld or console

There's been a few indicators that it might also secretly be in development for the NX, which would explain a lot about the IQ.

 

[Gaspard]

Everything about this game is gorgeous down to the Amiibos.

 

[nubbe]

Nice Amiibo's. shame this game won't ever be released in the west, like literally ever

 

[gameoverbro]

First amiibos I see myself buying.

 

[Toxi]

HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT

RATHIAN

BARIOTH

QURUPECO

 

[Ridley327]

The Famicom colored ROB was exclusive for a short while, but eventually made it over.

Amusingly, I'm pretty sure that Mega Yarn Yoshi has yet to see a Japanese release, so there's one Amiibo that the west has all to themselves.

 

[Toxi]

Is Lagiacrus available as a mount?

Yep!
