Mewtwo Amiibo (Super Smash Bros Series)

I love Yoshi. Yoshi is not the most interesting figure. Perhaps the pose could have been more action packed, (like the ground pound!) but it could have led to a lot of jokes. I like to play as Yoshi in Super Smash Bros. BUT I had completely misunderstood the functionality of Amiibos and who I play as in Smash is totally irrelevant besides personal affinity for a figurine. Regardless, I plan to get the new Yoshi games, so its all still good. Yoshi Specific Functionality ----------------------------------------------- Super Smash Bros. (SSB4) and Mario Kart 8 two games that currently connect with the Yoshi Amiibo. The upcoming Yoshis Wooly World and Mario Party 10 will probably work, too, but that is not announced. SSB4 records to the Yoshi an AI opponent that learns from fighting you. Mario Kart 8 gets you a yoshi suit for your Mii driver. General Amiibo Functionality -------------------------------------- Most Amiibos only unlock special items in games. I assume this aspect of Amiibos is the reason that a metal deflector is in the box preventing them from being used unless unpackaged. Otherwise, people could just purchase, unlock, and return. Mostly a collectible. (but doesnt function if kept in the box) Super Smash Bros. is currently the only game that lets you raise and level Amiibos. You do not play as Amiibos. They are like an AI friend stored in a figurine. I had thought that my personal performance as a character would influence my Amiibo development. Not the case. So buy Amiibos that you want to play against, not as. IF in the future multiple games can record to an Amiibo, only one game at a time can do that. (hopefully they can overcome this design in the future) Amiibo functionality requires updating. So you need to have your Wii hooked up to the WiFi. Hyrule Warriors update isnt out yet. But Mario Kart works (but with a subset of figures.)

**Please note that the product picture with Fox attached with a single pole to the base is from the original Nintendo prototype and the one you purchase will have the less aesthetic but more sturdy blocks on his feet I ordered seven of the first series of these -- Fox, Pikachu, Kirby, Villager, Samus, Link, and Mario -- and I have to say Fox impressed me most as far as detail goes. I put my order in for these before Nintendo released the official images rather than prototypes, and was a little nervous to see the less aesthetic blocks holding his feet down, but since this is meant to be played with and not just displayed I dont think its distracting enough to dock a star for Fox. Id be happy enough for the money just for the figure as a collectible. They have his reflector and blaster on his side, and theres a decent weight to the figure. As far as durability, Im in my 20s and am not concerned about breaking it from the base, but I am keeping all of mine in a Tupperware container for storage to help prevent bending anything like Links sword or Foxs tail. Im not sure about younger children, but I assume that if they have Skylanders or Infinity (similar products) theyll be fine with these. Now for the Wii U functionality, so far I dont think youll be missing out if you pass on these. Theyre fun to play against, and the AI seems challenging enough as it levels up, but syncing with the figures when you exit smash mode or the customization screen can get tedious. If you play against three of them, youll have to set all three back on the gamepad NFC portal after youve finished. Im not sure what happens if you just turn the game off before pressing b in smash mode, the game may persist unsynced data or you might lose it. The NFC function of the game pad does work quite well though. Syncing is pretty quick, though I did pull the figure away too quickly once and corrupted its data which the game detected and helped me fix. The other games that support these figures dont seem to have much content yet other than custume changes, which in my opinion shouldnt be content that requires the purchase of a figure, but in the guide for the amiibo it says that only one games data can be stored on each figure at a time, so Im interested to see how Nintendo manages that with the multiple have support theyre planning.

Everything perfect Just i dont realice That it Was the japanese version, Good package

Possibly the most useful amiibo as of right now. -Creates a figure player in Super Smash Bros. for WiiU -Unlocks the Link Mii racer outfit for Mario Kart 8 -Unlocks the Spinner weapon in Hyrule Warriors Works exactly as intended. Although I wish the sword wasnt as... flaccid looking.

Managed to snag one before scalpers became active. Great delivery, great price, great service.

I have not actually used the amiibo for its intended purpose. I bought this one for my wife as a Christmas present. In her words, Princess Peach looks like a bad***. In truth she does! The detail on Peach is amazing, and we are looking forward to seeing what games we can use the amiibo in along with Super Smash Bros. If you are looking for a cool collectible or an addition to your Nintendo games then I would grab one.

Got this for my sister in law. She absolutely loved it. She wanted to start collecting amiibos even without the game system. Great attention to detail in my opinion.

Sword was a bit bent, but that can be fixed. Marth was expected to be delivered really slowly but I got him a week to a month early. Not bad

I really like her. First we play some Tennis then we head to the park for some Golf. After that she cooks me a nice meal with her frying pan. The eggs and ham are very good. My ZSS, Rosalina, and Sheik get a little jealous so its hard to go out with my Peach to dinner.

this guy was just too cute. Loved how it works with my game.
