I got Fox yesterday. I love him. He looks so damn good on my shelf. I honestly think he's one of the best from this wave.

The bird let out a slow chicken cackle. It sounded like a chicken, but in her heart she knew it wasn't. In that instant, she completely understood the concept of a chicken that was not a chicken. This looked like a chicken, like most of the Mud People's chickens. But this was no chicken.
This was evil manifest.

Some of these are amazing. I particularly like Dark Link.
He just murdered Yoshi didn't he?!?
It just needs that skylanders type game for thatWould be crazy if amiibos become the 'thing' that saves the WiiU (ala Wii Sports / Will Fit for Wii, or Brain Age / Nintendogs for NDS etc)

What exactly do you do with these?
Yea, this was crushing finding this out, spending an hour just funding out what exactly I can do with them, as co-op was all I wanted. I'm probably gonna hit up Twitter, try to get some kind of answers.In regards to feeding Amiibos equipment I suspect they did it that way to encourage / deal with grinding tons of badges over time. Amiibos basically act as a trash compactor to suck up badges rather than just sell them for gold.
Otherwise I would agree it's very disappointing they can't be used as a partner for Classic and All Star. The AI can navigate stages like The Great Cave Offensive + it works in Smash Run on 3DS, so I can't imagine why the AI cannot be adapted to fight the Hands or cope with Master Fortress.
I'd really like to see that support in a future update. I like how Classic works in the Wii U version, it's a ton of fun in co-op with the large opponent count battles and random craziness that happens.
I hope so. The yoshi and kirby ones are awesome.Does anyone think that they'll add more racing suits to Mario Kart for later waves? That would be awesome.
I pray that Lucina in the next waves will be better than this atrocity.
Link please! I NEED that!I recommend waiting for the Figma instead of the Amiibo:
It is indeed a Goodkind novel! Classic series. The infamous "gang rape" quote was terribly worded, but his point was spot on. Democracy is not and never will be an inherent good. He was trying to make a point (and did it terribly) that democracy can easily end up being about larger group deciding on what happens to the minority even against the minorities will, protest and consent (much like rape). It was a comment on how the "tyranny of the majority" can end up being a political rape on the minorities of a body politic.Is that a fucking Terry Goodkind novel?
The shit man...
People use democracy as a free-floating abstraction disconnected from reality. Democracy in and of itself is not necessarily good. Gang rape, after all, is democracy in action.
All men have the right to live their own life. Democracy must be rooted in a rational philosophy that first and foremost recognizes the right of an individual. A few million Imperial Order men screaming for the lives of a much smaller number of people in the New World may win a democratic vote, but it does not give them the right to those lives, or make their calls for such killing right.
Democracy is not a synonym for justice or for freedom. Democracy is not a sacred right sanctifying mob rule. Democracy is a principle that is subordinate to the inalienable rights of the individual.
It was inevitable. I thought about retaking the picture, but I don't give a hoot.I knew as soon as I saw the photo someone would bitch about the Goodkind book, sigh.

Hah, I knew a comment was coming too. I enjoyed the first novel, but then it was like reading a train wreck. I had to stop after the book that portrayed pacifists as evil and totally deserving of enslavement and death.I knew as soon as I saw the photo someone would bitch about the Goodkind book, sigh.
The thirst is real. Link is coming in the mail hopefully today from Amazon.

Full quote for reference:

Hah, that blood splattered Villager is incredible.
So, I have been feeding my Amiibo everything beneficial. Then I realized, some things were unique rewards. Did I screw myself over and will I never see that unique equipment again?
Link please! I NEED that!
Thanks anyways! Glad you brought it to my attention!
Your opinion of the books was not the issue. I don't really care what you think about the books. You're the one who brought up the quote. The quote isn't from the books. It's a real-life (poorly worded) statement Goodkind made about the dangers of the tyranny of a majority.Sorry man but...no.
God help you. Amazon completely FUBAR'd my Link Amiibo
Are there any deals on Amiibos coming up anytime soon?
Thinking about picking up a few for Christmas gifts.
Really good technical and in game impressions with Amiibos

Ars is always great, and I haven't seen any of the major outlets put up impressions yet (IGN and such).

Buy an Amiibo, they said. It would be fun, they said. It's getting out of hand.
Just accidentally bought smash + 12 amiibos. And then bought a double because apparently now I'm a collector and can't bring myself to open boxes. What have you done to me, Nintendo?
edit: aaaand now I've just ordered 2 shulks from game stop. Please help me.
