According to Kotaku (http://kotaku.com/up-close-and-personal-with-nintendos-amiibo-figures-1656410094)Just return them to the store after you use them assuming they are able to be scanned through the package. Skylanders can be scanned through the package.
I'm not a Smash fan. So far they've announced 18 figures for $13 each, that's kind of a lot of money - over $200. I'd assume that at some point they'd make them useful in other games (besides smash). Clearly most people aren't going to spend $200 for "hats" in Mario Kart. Honestly, I'd be happy if they just sold all the cosmetic DLC for $1 each without the need to buy the figures. I wonder how well they'll actually be supported. I say this because once you purchase them, they have your money and won't have a lot of incentive to continue to release content for the figure. Who's to say they don't just put out another varient of a character and the older one doesn't do anything now? This is especially true for the "limited edition" figures. Do you really think they'll continue to make DLC for them once they're no longer available?Well, most people are getting them for Smash Bros., with the other games s a bonus.
I'm sure some folks would try things like that but it's a bit unethical for me.Just return them to the store after you use them assuming they are able to be scanned through the package. Skylanders can be scanned through the package.
Walmart carries the 32GB bundle with Mario Kart 8 and Nintendo Land for $299. I imagine that Black Friday will either include a $30-50 price drop or gift card promotion at a lot of retailers. If you're going to download a lot of retail games, then you'll want an external hard drive too. I have a 1TB portable drive with y-cable that cost me about $40 and there's more than enough room for everything.I need help again. I got a job recently and want to buy myself a WiiU for Xmas. What's the best option? I know there are a ton of pack in game choices.
I'm most interested in playing Mario Kart 8 and Hyrule Warriors. I'd probably DL a lot of games too.
See, you're in the minority on that.I'm not a Smash fan. So far they've announced 18 figures for $13 each, that's kind of a lot of money - over $200.

That sounds perfect.Walmart carries the 32GB bundle with Mario Kart 8 and Nintendo Land for $299.

I've seen picture of a Super Smash Bros bundle on twitter too, but I don't know if those turned out to be accurate or not.
Now THAT'S perfect.Best Buy is selling the Wii U on BF with Donkey Kong/Smash/Nintendo land and Mario 3D world for 359.99. Comes out to you getting DK for free which is good I guess. Would rather get Kart and Smash for the same price though at Walmart.
I'm not real interested in DK. I will probably have to work so I won't be able to take advantage of it.Now THAT'S perfect.
I justify the price as $300 for the console and the four games at $15 each. I love it.
Of course I'd love it more if I had the funds to purchase it. Hope some good deals on 3DS surface in the meantime.
That's what it sort of pisses me off. If they don't give you good content, at least let the figures be of higher quality. But no, neither.That is just sad. Get the hype working with awesome looking prototypes and then sell them cheap looking versions. Typical bait and switch. Tsk! And to think they are selling the figures at a premium.
I cracked up when I saw this picture. I have a ton of Skylander figures, and I'm resisting Infinity, so this made it easy to resist Amiibos.I don't think I'll be getting Amiibos anymore.
I remember when the initial pictures of the actual production models hit, it was on either here or Reddit but someone was making all these excuses about how the lighting wasn't right to make the figures look good. No amount of lighting is going to make that figure on the right look good. The damn thing looks like it was made out of playdough.I cracked up when I saw this picture.

thanks! had $10 there from the MK8 free game promo so used that and an Eshop card to buy the DLC bundle! perfect!Go to ddp.nintendo.com and enter your NNID. If you have enough for a credit, it gives you a code to enter in the Redeem Downloads Code page on the eShop.
They went up to $25 + $5 shippingBe SUPER careful on eBay, since there are tons of Chinese knock off Wii remotes and nunchucks.
I didn't check recently, but as of a few weeks ago Nintendo still had the refurbished sets of Wii remote + nunchuck for $20... and the one I got looked perfectly like new.
buy the walmart exclusive this week 300 with 50 dollar gift cardI have a question about the wii u. My son is asking for one for Christmas. Mario Kart 8 is tops on his list. This is s something I would be playing with him.
So I was able to find the mk8 limited bundle locally. It comes with the mario wii mote and a steering wheel. Came to about 350 with tax. Walmart has a mk8 bundle but no extra controller for 300. Would have to buy something.
My question is about the wii mote. Is it an easy controller to use? Do I need the wii u pro controller? He Is 7 and will probably play mario games, and other kid style games. Do you guys actually use the wii mote or steering wheel? I may try piecing together something with the sm3w from eBay if the extra stuff in the bundke are junk. Thanks!
