Hey now...

For you Amiibo fanatics who are picking up the Nintendo-console Skylanders Superchargers starter packs-- and I know you are, don't even try to lie to me-- you must twist the base from...



...to...



...for it to play in Superchargers. And vice-versa to play in other Amiibo-compatible Ninty games.


All right, carry on.

Just snagged a Dr. Mario since he wasn't too scarce around here.  That completes this last wave and only puts me down 5 for the whole smash bros set.

A few Toys "R" Us have been spotted breaking the November 1st street date for the Mii Fighter 3-pack. Might be worth checking your local Toys "R" Us if it's near to you.

It's fairly common to find pre-street date amiibo in Europe I hear. Enjoy.

So with the upcoming release of the Kirby line Amiibo, I got ta thinking. Perhaps the title format SHOULD after all include the series. I'm not totally sure though. There's no clear cut way to list these really. Take for example Gold/Silver Mario. They're listed as variants because of course they're just paint variants like the 8-Bit Marios. HOWEVER, the NFC chips inside are different as they give a unique reward for Mario Party 8 and Mario Maker. So one could make the argument for variant status or different Amiibo all together. (perhaps linked by related hardware)

So I think we need to reach a consensus on this before editing entries becomes a behemoth task. What are your takes on organizing Amiibo?

Do variants behave like Skylanders variants? For example, are there variants or chase figures for the "Super Smash Bros." Mario? If so, you can include the series name in the front to match the standard with the Skylanders, e.g. "Super Smash Bros.: Mario", and have the separate series as separate variations (making "Super Mario: Mario" a separate entry). This is the consensus we came up with for Skylanders after it became a grey area, so the variants were based on the NFC chip supported in the base, which incidentally lined up with the game series.

Series should be part of the title (and not just as variations when a character appears in multiple series), making 'Super Mario Collection: Mario' and 'Super Smash Bros. Collection: Mario' separate rather than variations of each other.  I know I already said this back in January, but I have been doing more research since then, and my opinion has been reinforced.

The current method of basing an amiibo as a variant based on NFC is problematic as we cannot be truly certain whether or not different models depicting the same character use the same NFC data unless:
a) the NFC data has been dumped so the code from different models can be compared, or
b) a game is released in which different models of the same character unlock different effects.

It depends on the game.

If you tap Mario Party Mario in to Smash, he acts as a Mario fighter. If you tap MP Mario in to Mario Maker, the same thing happens.
If you tap MP Gold Mario in to Smash, he also acts like Mario. If you tap him in to Mario Maker, he is a separate Mystery Mushroom costume.

The NFC chip is encoded with character codes as well as series codes.

There are some known variants of amiibo. Main one being the Villager. The original has larger eyes than the re-release, but they are effectively the same thing.

Fixed the titles!! Just need an admin to unlink the non-regional variations and we'll be golden.
