Amiibo

Those Animal Crossing ones look fantastic, they've definitely got to grips on how to design these now, not a yellow "piss stand" in sight!

WiiU Animal Crossing confirmed! ...I guess.

Well not 100% confirmed, as they could easily be for the happy home designer game to work alongside the cards or even a totally new animal forest game for 3DS. But it does seem strange that it's been so long since the last game on a home console, bet Nintendo have something hidden away to go with them.

Home Designer seems a safe bet, especially as the AC team was making Splatoon. For me an AC game needs to be early in a gen, seems wasted on a machine with a successor being lined up given the social aspects

Animal Crossing can do one. I must be at the 200hr mark on New Leaf now and I'm beginning to question my life. There must be better things to do on the train; such as listen to a Pimsleur foreign language class, or read market/stocks news.

I played a lot of FFXI, and even more WoW - both wholly fulfilling experiences. AC isn't, for me.

Ryu amiibo. You rang?

The mr G&W is actually quite nice, you get several poses that you clip into the base.


ROB also has a pic as well

R.O.B. and Falco for me, if I can ever get hold of any.

Animal forest Amiibo cards up on Amazon my god are they expensive, box of 50 packs is 16,200 yen and restricted to one box a customer. Considering 50 packs with 3 cards a pack will only get you 150 cards in total and the full series 1 set is 100 cards the chances of completing a set with 1 box is very slim.

Not even tried the game to see if it's any good so thats too much of a financial risk to try go for complete sets, think i'll stick to youkai medals as they at least have multiple uses.

[kryss]

I think they have the "guaranteed one set per box" thing going on.

[importaku]

That would be amazing if they did but i remember back to the e-reader days even with full boxes of booster packs my animal forest collection sadly went uncompleted. Is there any confimation that's the case of a full set from a box?

Managed to convince myself to stick them on preorders i have till 30th next month to cancel or talk myself out of it hehe.

[kryss]

Nothing. It says "random" on the page for them. Round 2 is out Sept 20th.
Also, 300yen per pack...hmm http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/edhj/a...ard/index.html

Oh and new 3DS plates: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/hardwa...ate.html#no062

[importaku]

I'm hoping once released amazon will relax their one per customer restriction, failing that if i need certain cards i'm hoping marketplace sellers will have them or i'll have to resort to yahoo auctions. Hoping it's a lot easier to complete a set than it was to get those kid icarus cards. I love them to bits but my god were they hard to get hold of those promo cards.

[Decider-VT]

Variants on the ROB and 8-bit Mario Amiibos... ugh. Why did I start collecting the full set? Madness.

Anywhere in the UK we can preorder the new Animal Crossing 3DS game, the cards or Amiibos? Would make a great gift for someone.
