Fellow gaffer KT$2448 posted this in the amiibo thread:

This is some certificate for two special amiibo: Gold Mario and Silver Mario.

This definitely looks legit... and it's from the official Nintendo website, so... yeah. Protect your wallet... unless it's some reward for Club Nintendo, as suggested by some.

I believe Nintendo said they were going to release some Limited Edition amiibo, and looks like we have the 2 first ones

Spoiler

(no Rosalina in NA don't count)

I wonder if these are separate SKUs, or if they'll be chase figures for the normal Super Mario-series Mario.

 

[Dawg]

 

[mdubs]

As if amiibo weren't already limited enough.

 

[Busaiku]

Could be Club Nintendo prizes for Platinum/Gold.

 

[Clefargle]

Get ready for them to disappear

 

[A Dead Diehard]

Meh. I'll hold off for Platinum.

 

[Lucina]

Could be Club Nintendo prizes for Platinum/Gold.

Someone pointed out Nintendo said prizes for the revamped program will be digital.

Yes, they did.

http://club2.nintendo.com/program-notice/

"Members who reach Elite Status will be able to choose a downloadable game from a wide selection of Nintendo 3DS and Wii U titles."

Edit: I guess that doesn't say digital only. So maybe? The colors match up with the tiers.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

Jesus what does a limited edition Amiibo entail? Like 10 of em?

 

[LoveCake]

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

Haha wow, imagine the lines and road trips these amiibos will break loose, when people are so serious about Rosalina.

 

[darthbob]

Could be Club Nintendo prizes for Platinum/Gold.

Platinum gets Gold, Gold gets Silver?

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

Mercury Mario or no buy

 

[TunaLover]

Are they built in precious metals?

 

[PAULINK]

haha wow are you kidding.

 

[Tom_Cody]

I will look forward to the inevitable Pink Gold Peach

[Weiss]

I can't wait to pay some neckbearded scalper six times the retail price for one of these.

 

[Japanmanx3]

Platinum gets Gold, Gold gets Silver?

Oh mercy me oh my....I'm faint...

 

[Welfare]

Waiting for Pink Gold Peach.

 

[jaina]

I will look forward to the inevitable Pink Gold Peach

I've listened to this embarrasingly often last year.. thanks for the reminder.

 

[LiberaTeExInferis]

That fourth answer!!

 

[blast processed]

Silver & Gold?

 

[eudaemonic]

I wonder if they're going to be an E3 exclusive...

 

[Kyne]

They were sold out 2 minutes before this thread popped up.

 

[ahdurian]

imagine if a scalper gets that....oh god...

 

[javac]

On the gold one, what is on Mario's dungarees? The image on the packaging, that is.

 

[duckielein]

Ewwww, they're ugly as hell! :x

 

[friskykillface]

$$$$$$$$
Dat gold

It can easily be a club Nintendo prize , Nintendo of america doesn't have to follow their own words

Do it Reggie


Lol gold x silver edition means errrrrrrrrybody (character ) could get a gold or silver version

 

[SalvaPot]

Hi-Res version from a handsome guy.

Used snipping tool & zoomed in to make it easier to see the box.

Also, mario pupils kinda ruins it for me, but I´ll jump in this if I can.

 

[snowmint]

My wallet continues to cry... Just reveal them now Iwata

 

[theechrisfox]

I will wake up early as hell to buy one of these. Better set an alarm.

 

[jooey]

children's product

 

[RedNumberFive]

That's enough Nintendo.

 

[mantis23]

Oh dear lord. I can only imagine the chaos that will ensue if these are chase figures and not a separate SKU. All of the Amiibo amateurs are not ready for that hardcore toy collector life.

If it is an Elite reward for Club Nintendo, that would be rad.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Amiibos have changed.

 

[Mango The Magician]

I bet they unlock Gold Mario for Mario Kart.

 

[Broritos]

You motherfuckers.

 

[Ahnez]

Yeah, looks legit.

Spoiler

Pink Gold Peach next

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

I will look forward to the inevitable Pink Gold Peach

I want her...

Edit:
Oh it looks like there will be more gold and silver edition amiibos then?

 

[-Horizon-]

No Goldmember gif? I am disappoint gaf.

 

[SalvaPot]

That's enough Nintendo.

 

[Lucina]

If it is an Elite reward for Club Nintendo, that would be rad.

Yeah. But you know they will just turn around and scalp them given the insabe craze with Amiibos.

 

[Popnbake]

Jesus what does a limited edition Amiibo entail? Like 10 of em?

It entails that blood will be spilt.

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

Please be the Club Nintendo Gold/Plat rewards

 

[Opinionatedfish]

Jesus what does a limited edition Amiibo entail? Like 10 of em?

Yes.
They will send five of them to retail in the Nintendo World Store on a random Saturday.

The other five will be sent to five YouTube personalities who will destroy the packaging on camera while saying "Heh. Mario is such a terrible character. I don't know why anyone likes him."

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Oooo shiny.. getting that

 

[NotLiquid]

Hey cool I'll get a legit Metal Mario Amiibo

 

[Mango The Magician]

Also, I hate the idea of them being CN prizes, I didn't even make the gold member status this year. ;_;
