Darkdragon Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Wait, so Splatoon Amiibo pre-orders are over? Jigglypuff (Target) and Ness (GS) Quote
just2good Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Missed out on both of today's Amiibo preorders. Incidentally, if anyone here managed/s to get an extra NESS and would sell or trade for some LEGO, let me know. Really want to get one for someone for his birthday which is just after release. My store had them... And I was there twenty-or-so minutes ago. I got Ness, Pac, and the 3-pack Splatoon. Oddly enough, preorders for Wario, Lucina, and Robin were sold out. But not Ness! Quote

Lego Spy Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) Jigglypuff (Target) and Ness (GS) Oh, phew. Thanks, I thought I was dead. Edit: Sorry, it took me awhile to grasp that pre-orders were in-store only. Edited April 2, 2015 by Lego Spy Quote
just2good Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Man. i want to live by you! I'm pretty sad, was hoping to get Ness as a gift and now it's not looking likely. Yeah, I was gonna get an extra Ness for my friend, but it's one per customer. Understandable. She's really into Earthbound, but she needs to drive herself up there! I don't wanna do the dirty work. Jigglypuff (Target) and Ness (GS) Jiggs went up? It let me press the button early in the morning, but it kept giving me errors. I scored Rosalina from waiting at Target, I'll probably do the same with Jiggs. Quote

I scored Rosalina from waiting at Target, I'll probably do the same with Jiggs. Apparently this morning and was sold out in 5 minutes. I'd rather get Ness if I have to choose one store to wait at on release day, but that might be hopeless if they are only fulfilling preorders. Quote
obsidianheart Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Been trying to cash in my Club Nintendo rewards since they updated the Platinum rewards yesterday, but the site sucks so much right now I can't stay logged in long enough to order any download codes. Quote
PenPlays Posted April 3, 2015 Author Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) *gasp* I did it... all I need is Jiggs... and Robin... but I have no more moneez Let's recap this "wonderful" past Amiibo filled hours (I'm really trying not to curse right now). -Target is the first to reveal their store exclusive, Jigglypuff, who not only was available for only 7 minutes in the wee hours of the morning, but also beat Rosalina & Luma's availability record by nearly 25 minutes!!! (Rosalina was only available for about 30 minutes. She too was only available in the early morning) -Target has stated that, similar to Rosalina, Jiggs will be available online and in store on May 29th (should the date still hold). -Best Buy went up with all five of the Wave 4 Amiibo an hour before Gamestop stores would go live. Lucina and Robin sold out in less than three minutes. -Splatoon Amiibo are incoming here on Best Buy as I write this. -Gamestop's situation, including having Ness as a Store Exclusive, was leaked the day of the Direct. It stated that Pre-orders would open at noon in-store only. It is later revealed that there is a six-pack of the Smash Amiibo bundle that's only available through Gamestop, and that Wario can be pre-ordered in store for in-store pick up (we have this waves Bowser, ladies and gentlmen). All Gamestop stores log on along side millions of people who were misinformed thinking that the pre-orders would be online at the exact same time. All of Gamestops servers were crashed. I managed to get the Splatoon 3-pack, an Inkling Girl, Ness, Pac-Man, and Charizard. -Gamestop later issues a statement saying that the in-store ship-to-home completely liquidated all stock. There will be no online pre-orders for Gamestop. -Later that afternoon, a Toys R Us rep, says that Wave 4 pre-orders will open between 4AM-7AM EST including the store exclusive Greninja. They went up three hours early. Again, Robin and Lucina were the first to disintegration, Greninja slowly followed. In 10 minutes, Pac-Man was all who remained. I managed 2 Lucinas, 2 Greninjas, a Pac-Man, and Wario (please note that all duplicates were picked up for my brother. I'm not that cruel ). Please note that the Splatoon Amiibo are yet to be added to Toys R Us' website -While writing this Greninja went up once again. Toys R Us has stated that in store pre-order cards will be in limited quantity on April 27th. And now? Here we are. Amazon has spots for all Wave 4 Amiibo and the Splatoon Amiibo. They have yet to open pre-orders. Walmart has no signs of anything. Target only has Jiggs on their site In other news, the standalone Super Mario Bros. Mario Amiibo come out today! The Fox Amiibo is also showing up at Best Buys accross the country! (note: bold letters for emphasis) TL;DR/Summary No more Jiggs pre-orders (not completely confirmed). Jiggs will be online and in store on May 29th (like Rosalina back in February). This depends if the release date still holds. Best Buy has opened up pre-orders for Wave 4 once so far. Splatoon Amiibo are incoming here. Gamestop crashed when ship-in-store began. When they went live. All stores sold out of the stock. Gamestop will not have online pre-orders due to what was mention directly above. Toys R Us has had an initial pre-order. Greninja has come back online once so far, and shows promise for more pre-orders incoming. Toys R Us will have in-store pre-order cards on April 27th. Limited Quantities. Toys R Us has yet to put up the Splatoon Amiibo. Amazon, Walmart, and Target have yet to release pre-orders for Wave 4 or Splatoon Super Mario Bros. Mario is releasing today Foxes are showing up in droves at Best Buys across the country. EDIT: Best Buy has the Splatoon Amiibo Edited April 3, 2015 by Penkid11 Quote
Lego Spy Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) EDIT: Best Buy has the Splatoon Amiibo Aaannndddd they're gone. Must have happened between now and half an hour ago, because I checked and the Inkling Boy was still available; they've been removed from the site now. Edited April 3, 2015 by Lego Spy Quote
PenPlays Posted April 4, 2015 Author Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) Aaannndddd they're gone. Must have happened between now and half an hour ago, because I checked and the Inkling Boy was still available; they've been removed from the site now. Yup. The hype is forcing these pre-orders out in seconds. It is clear, however, that once the Smash Amiibo are done, things will hopefully start calming down. People are collecting them simply because of the whole trophy concept that Melee introduced, and since Smash covers pretty much all of Nintendo's IPs why wouldn't people go crazy for them? I know I have! Check out these puppies from Wondercon (not mine). I hope that Robin and Lucina are mass produced as well as these were. Also, more Yarn Yoshi Amiibo pics. You can't wrong with more pics of those. EDIT: The Amiibo Chart has been updated. Wave 4 Store exclusives no longer have an asterisk. Remove Animal Crossing Cards until more information is revealed.

PenPlays Posted May 18, 2015 Author Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) It has been a long while since the last post I made above! In this past month or so. We found out some of the following things: -Nintendo @ E3 -There will be at least 3 brand new never before seen games announced (Best Buy just received 3 "Nintendo E3 Dummy" SKUs. 2 3DS Games, and 1 Wii U game) -Splatoon is Nintendo's newest hit thanks to a limited time demo called "Splatoon Rapid Fire!" It returns this weekend on Saturday from 3pm-4pm Pacific Time, just before the game launches over the following weekend! -Amiibo are finally being restocked. Marth, Ike, King Dedede, Meta Knight (Best Buy only), and Lucario (Toys R Us only) will once again see the light of day on or around May 29th alongside the Smash Wave 4, Splatoon, and... -... the recently announced Silver Mario Amiibo! And get this, it will be available at ALL retailers (in the US). This is apparently the only shipment of Silver Mario that any and all stores shall receive...ever. -Gamestop has already restocked Marth and Ike. They had no street date and will not be receiving more for a very... very long time. -Shulk (restock that had preorders only) has been delayed until early June -Nintendo signed a deal with Universal Studios to make theme park attractions! Discuss! EDIT: The Amiibo Availability Guide has been updated Edited May 18, 2015 by Penkid11 Quote
just2good Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 I'm leaving for Target in mere moments I got Jiggs, Wario (from a friend that I payed), and Silver Mario, and Splatoon with the squirt gun from Target; gonna get Greninja and Charzard now, and later gonna pick up Ness, Pacman, and the three pack. Quote
Darkdragon Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 I went to TRU this morning and waited in line. I was #5 in line. I got the full line of figures, minus Target and GameStop exclusives! I still really need to get ahold of Ness, but I'm pretty hopeless about it. Quote
PenPlays Posted June 2, 2015 Author Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) We are exactly 16 days away from E3 everyone! One of the biggest video game events of the year is upon us once again! Nintendo begins the festivities with the Nintendo Championships starting on June 14th. Not a lot of info on this is available at this time, except that the preliminary stage is over. At 9AM (PST) on June 16th, Nintendo will be hosting another Digital Event with a Developers Treehouse following right after. What are your predictions for this years E3? Here are my predictions: Lucas will be released alongside some new costumes for Smash Bros. 4 A new DLC challenger and/or veteran will be revealed for Smash Bros. 4 A Mario 30th Anniversary game besides Mario Maker A Mario Spinoff A trailer for Zelda Wii U (Bill Trinnen has stated that some 2016 games will be at the show) Star Fox Wii U (already confirmed by Miyamoto) New Metroid Smash Bros. Amiibo Wave 6 Super Mario Bros. Amiibo Wave 2 Release date for Smash Bros. Amiibo Wave 5 Release date for Yoshi's Wooly World and Amiibo Release date Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer and Amiibo Cards Some sort of new line/type of Amiibo Amiibo Restocks Indie games that very few people care about Splatoon paid DLC Mario Kart 8 DLC Fire Emblem IF English dubbed anything (please!) Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem EDIT: The Amiibo availability chart has been updated. Wave 4 is at the preliminary stage, therefore some heavy edits of those in the "Rare" category are on the way. Chibi-Robo was also added as a series. The Chibi-Robo Amiibo is available in the US exclusively in a Pre-order pack of the new game Chibi-Robo Zip Lash. Edited June 2, 2015 by Penkid11 Quote
Cammo Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 What are your predictions for this years E3? Here are my predictions: ... Seems doable... I really want them to bring us a 'good' successor for Mario Tennis with online matches. (or even more unrealistic: a successor for DK64.) Quote
obsidianheart Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 What are your predictions for this years E3? Xenoblade Chronicles X release date! Quote
PenPlays Posted June 5, 2015 Author Posted June 5, 2015 Xenoblade Chronicles X release date! I forgot about that, as well as more info on Project Robot, and Project Guard. I'm also expecting a release date for Mario Maker as well. Speaking of Mario, did anyone see the rumor/leak regarding Mario being playable in Splatoon? Quote
PenPlays Posted June 13, 2015 Author Posted June 13, 2015 With recent leaks going out for Smash (that come from the game files directly mind you!) the newest character reveals are doozies! (our boy) is back!Ryu from Street Fighter is in! Quote
SweetiePie88 Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Some people over on ACC are rooting for AC Wii U to be announced. Honestly i'm not in a rush for another AC to come out since the last 2 games were disappointing and now there's a spin-off that's pretty much just a scam to milk people out of their money. From what i'm seeing is its either going to cost us 30 dollars(just the game for those w/ the N3DS or N3DS XL ) or 40(bundle w/ the reader for those w/ just the O3DS XL). Then from what i'm able to find out about it, not all the game is going to be unlocked so you'll have to start playing 2.50 for 3 RANDOM amiibo cards and it's going to have 100 different ones to collect. Uh. Yea. Can we say "people opening packs in stores so they won't get duplicates"? Genius move nintendo! If i had the money to spend on random packs of something, i wouldn't get cards, i'd just buy random Simpson CMF packs. At least i'd have some use for most of the duplicates out there. Quote
Ultron Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Some people over on ACC are rooting for AC Wii U to be announced. Honestly i'm not in a rush for another AC to come out since the last 2 games were disappointing and now there's a spin-off that's pretty much just a scam to milk people out of their money. How were they disappointing? AC:NL is probably the best AC yet. Either way, it's highly likely they'll announce ACU because they didn't develop those 3D WiiU AC character models all for one app. Quote
PenPlays Posted June 15, 2015 Author Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) Speaking of Animal Crossing... Yes. That's a leak of Tom Nook, Isabelle, Mable, and K.K. Slider Amiibo. It's unknown what they are for. The 8-Bit Mario Amiibo says "Super Mario Bros. 30 Years" I have a feeling it will be a rare one to get. It's gonna be a normal Mario Amiibo but probably with some benefits in, the now officially named, Super Mario Maker. And now that they are official, all of the new Smash DLC is impressive. The Suzaku level is gorgeous! Dreamland 64 brings nostalgic tears to my eyes, and now with two of the best Smash 64 levels on the horizon, I can't help but feel overjoyed! Lest we forget the release of some fantastic, not to mention surprising (Ryu), characters as DLC. Also the new Mii Fighter Amiibo look excellent. Glad they decided to do them. However, Mr. Game & Watch's Amiibo stole the show, with its interchangeable design. R.O.B. will also be region specific (imports yayyy... ). I really hope that this huge load of Amiibo doesn't release all in September as I truly cannot go broke at a more worse time! The Digital Event starts on June 16th at 9:00 AM PST EDIT: The Amiibo Availability chart has been updated! -The Chibi-Robo section is now called "One-Offs" dedicated to Amiibo that will be the only ones of their series. -Smash Wave 5 has been updated with the new announcements, and a tentative Smash Wave 6 has been added. -There is no longer a specific color for restocks of rare Amiibo. They have their own section now. None of them have dates, but all (yes quite a few!) mentioned Amiibo in this section are being restocked in the days to come according to Nintendo's safety certificates. The restocks start off with Wii Fit Trainer and Pit (in the US). -The Animal Crossing Amiibo have been added! Edited June 15, 2015 by Penkid11 Quote
just2good Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 All I want today from the direct is one of these.... - A new Paper Mario game like 64 and TTYD - A new 3DS Wario game. It could either be a Ware or a Land Either of these and I'll be a happy camper. Quote
