Rover amiibo - Nintendo Wii U

Love this amiibo, building a collection

The amiibo itself came in great condition, but the box had a big crease in it. Overall that its fine. It came packaged really nice with my other items.

Brand new, ready to make him a beautiful home in animal crossing xD

Great

Animal Crossing is a pretty cool cat Eh...

Ive probably played way more Animal Crossing: New Leaf than is healthy for a human, but part of the reason is theyve been making neat little changes to the game. One of those is the introduction of these little Amiibo. This is the Rover Amiibo. Like the other Amiibo, its adorable, and heres how it works: 1) At some point after the Animal Crossing Welcome Amiibo update to your game, youll hear a voice calling out to you. Follow that voice and eventually youll find an Aladdin-styled Genie lamp on the ground. Pick it up and take it home. 2) Put the lamp out somewhere in your home and click on it. A spirit will pop out who says he can possess various characters in the game, if you have their Amiibo. Youll be prompted to set the Amiibo on the touchscreen (and youll want to have Wireless/NFC turned on). 3) The spirit will appear looking like the Amiibo character. If you choose Lets hang out!, hell then possess them and make them leave their job and go hang out in the campground. When this happens, you can go visit them in their RV and buy things from them. Be aware this also means theyll be away from their posts! Because this spirit has possessed them and convinced them to go take the day off. For Rover, that doesnt mean much since Ive only ever seen him twice--once when my game started and once when the Welcome Amiibo update was applied. Things return to normal the next day. This makes a cute and fun add-on to the Animal Crossing game. Its just a shame that Nintendo limits every Amiibo to specific individual titles--it would be more fun if you could use them across multiple games.

Cute, nicely made amiibo, even if he has a bit of a staring-into-eternity thing going on.

Arrived as expected and works great!

I got this because Rover is my favorite Animal Crossing character, and also to try out using it in Animal Crossing: A New Leaf - Welcome Amiibo. I was playing the tetris-like Puzzle League block game in the in-game 3DS, and Rover will give you Blight, the ability to wipe out all blocks of one particular color. The newer 2DS and 3DS systems (in real life) will allow you to scan an amiibo right on the touch screen, no other peripherals needed! Which is really cool. You can also use AC amiibos with the in-game Wisp genie lamp to call the character into the game.

We have over 60 amiibo and we just couldnt pass up the deals Amazon has had lately on them, with many of them being four to six dollars. We used the super slow saver shipping to get a one dollar credit for digital stuff and its even better. Im looking forward to see what Nintendo does with them on the NX and in the future.
