So at the Direct, they announced the existence of Amiibo cards for their upcoming Animal Crossing spinoff game. Many news sites have also been writing articles about the ridiculous scarcity of Amiibos in the United States. Would it be possible for Nintendo to implement Ammibo card versions of existing Amiibos so that people can actually access all that content for cheap without having to deal with scalping dirtbags? Data storage on those cards would be a problem, though....

Tiny microchip imbedded in the surface of the card. It'd probably be somewhat expensive, though.

The NFC chip in an Amiibo is actually very thin. I'd be more worried about the card bending and damaging the data.

Here is a video of someone removing the NFC chip from their spare Samus Amiibo.

Canadian Wave 4 is up on amazon.ca, still some stragglers available.

Splatoon also available

This is for Canadan residents only.




Us Amazon shouldn't be too far behind.
When they add place holders for amiibos be sure to F5 on the one you want because it will be going live soon.
Here is a chrome extension that auto refreshes for you.

Wait, so they can't ship to the US? God daisies it, I actually got a Splatoon Triple pack in my cart and everything.

Update on Amazon preorders
April 17 for America.


Also from what I have heard by asking around my local Target, Rosalina will be restocked on April 11th but I can't confirm this.
I will keep the Link in my signature as up-to-date as possible

STORY TIME WITH LIRAXUS!

If anyone has seen the few videos I probably posted in the TF2 thread, my youtube username is SepheWhiplash. I've been trying to see if I can change it to Liraxus for a while but that's not the point.

AdamtotheApple, a youtuber had a giveaway for rare Amiibo, and I entered for the Shulk Amiibo. I won and grew ecstatic until I see the comments.

Image
A shulk Avatar? Are you freaking serious?

I see someone with my exact same username, coupled with an Avatar that I never, ever updated once during my time on Youtube, I rarely use my youtube except for the occasional TF2 video, a Skyrim recording test, and my comments. I had a faker trying to win my Shulk.

So here's where the fun begins.

Image

I immediately blew up in the fellows face. I took a screenshot of my post and sent it via text to Adam. I've received a response and he'll look into it, I gave him a video showing my post and everything, proof that I'm logged in as SepheWhiplash, and that my comment appears first on the listing as 1 week ago showing the exact same text.

Let this be a reminder that some people are desperate assholes, and this guy just went to an all-new low just to receive a fucking piece of plastic.

Edit: Also, here's the puush link. http://puu.sh/h45Ke/a38d40df9d.png

AMIIBO ADDICTION
Don't let it happen to you.
Don't steal somebody's online identity for a piece of fudging plastic.

I'm not addicted! I can stop at any time! I didn't buy a SMB Yoshi for the sole reason that it was in a different pose from the Sm4sh Yoshi! That's not at all what went down!

I'm also not going to stab scalpers if I can't get my hands on wool Yoshi. Nope. Definitely won't maim them. :colbert:

I'd like to snag all the amiibos, but I don't have the time nor cheddar nor the lack of shame or a life. (But my life is still relatively nonexistent regardless.)
But darn it, Dedede and Ike are my mains (Dark Pit/Derek Pete slowly moving up) and I actually really wanted them. Curse this collectibility! :shakefist: I'll have to keep an eye out once Derek Pete shows up... Speaking of, anyone know what wave he's in?

Liraxus, Doesn't youtube have a private messaging system? You could send him a message through that and have him click on your username from there, proving that it leads to the same channel as the one from the winning comment.
