So what Nintendo Classic highlights will the Splatoon Amiibo unlock? Oh right listened again Iwata said it is random (probably biased towards the base franchise of the character)

That's 1 thing I complain about with the Amiibo line. It's not the first time they've done this kinda crap
Hyrule Warriors had a weapon on disk locked behind an amiibo
Smash had a feature locked behind amiibos

Mario Party 10 also had a mode that needs at least one amiibo to play and the mode becomes tedious as you have to scan the amiibo every fucking turn and the amiibo player has a huge advantage too...

I'll take an Inkling girl thank you.

 

[jon bones]

Shame they didn't make an Amiibo of one of the darker skinned inklings also.

yep, they almost me made me give a shit about these

 

[PetrCobra]

So basically, in Europe, if I want the green squid amiibo and getting the game digitally, I'm a bit screwed. I'll either buy the bundle and try to sell the game without too much of a loss, or I can order the triple pack from US.

Why is Nintendo limiting the options like this?

 

[Dr. Black Jack]

I am going to waste so, so many hours in Battle Dojo co-op.

Spoiler

and so, so many dollars on amiibo

 

[RandomExpletive]

Signed up for Amazon to alert me when the 3-pack is available, hopefully I'm at home when it opens up

 

[Tom_Cody]

This gave me the biggest smile.

Without the larger context of amiibo, this comes across as a little creepy.

So we can import amiibos.

..Wait, amiibos aren't region-locked, are they?

nope, region-free

 

[Jeels]

Hmm, the costumes don't look that great. Will skip out on the Amiibo, I think I may be done w/ them in general.

I did the same. I don't usually pre-order amiibo, but these things fly off the shelves at break neck speeds. I really don't want to miss out.

well, I'm sure there are more than 1 costume per amiibo

 

[Psxphile]

Did you make this just now??

Nope. Source.

 

[Rush2thestart]

Of course they don't make a black one......

Smh

They didnt make a middle eastern one either, guess I should throw a fit.

 

[Diablohead]

Squid boy really lost out with the unlock custome from the Amiibo, both should have had school outfits IMO.

 

[Village]

Stop.

 

[theprodigy]

If stats are still tied to clothing I wonder how these outfits hold up.

inb4 the amiibo sets are the best sets

 

[R.D.Blax]

... I want the school uniform

 

[Capra]

well, I'm sure there are more than 1 costume per amiibo

I hope so. We need schoolboy inkling to be a thing.

 

[Javier]

I'm so buying the triple pack. I love the looks on these, they're perfect.

*Back to voting for Inkling in the Smash Ballot*

 

[EloquentM]

Really not a fan of the art style in Splatoon.

Very Nickelodeon Sunday crappy cartoon feel.

I think that's literally why people like it.

Look at it conversely not at what the amiibo unlocks in terms of words but what it actually does in the game:

• HyWa: Spinner - Redundant weapon and type-cast element on character with too many weapons. In a game with too many weapons and too much damn content.
• MP10 - Boo this implementation.
• Captain Toad - Luigi hunt... with Toad. Doesn't add much of anything to the game proper.
• Splatoon - Short missions + skins. Are the skins special from generic gear?
• STEAM - FE characters that becomes entirely pointless come the end-game. Could have been an unlockable but it doesn't really do much for the game one way or the other. The game still is filled with stuff to unlock in the base game that is actually in-universe relevant.
• Smash - Literally nothing of relevance, the whole concept doesn't even really work without some sort of physical memory card to move around. Just use the CPUs.
• MK8 - Hats.
• Yoshi - A Friend. ;_;
• Kirby - A useless power-up.

Aside from MP10... its been pretty much nominally irrelevant unlocks that make you happy to tap that toy.

 

[balgajo]

Best looking amiibo or best looking amiibo?

 

[Tom Nook]

*saving this*

 

[GustyGardens]

I think you have those confused with the Yoshi's Wooly World amiibo.

It was a difficult choice anyway.

Is it just me or Green Squid support looks better than Link's?

Spoiler

jk of course
