: There's a cool free download coming Thursday
: called Amiibo Tap. Here's a short 90-ish
: second video from their Nintendo Direct that
: unveiled it...
:
: https://youtu.be/xhea46cUpR4
I was pretty disappointed by this, since it seems so "passive." You get to WATCH someone else's highlight videos for up to 3 minutes? The way they put an eShop icon to the side makes it seem like a money grab.
: Obviously this is almost like rewards
: programs many grocery and department stores
: have in that if you have some Amiibo
: characters (go to the store regularly) this
: will be worth getting because it's a free
: download and gives you something else to do
: with them. But anyone who would use Amiibo
: Tap as a reason to start getting Amiibo
: characters (get a store's reward card and
: start buying stuff just to get a reward)
: you'd be doing it backwards and losing money
: in the long run.
I was wondering if the Toys "R" Us card is worthwhile, since I haven't bought a Wii U system yet. The ones at the local TRU are locked up and look PRISTINE (I'm so OCD about packaging, LOL). If I got the rewards, though, I'm not sure what I'd buy with the points. TRU has the most amiibo stock by far (almost like Best Buy, Target, and Wal*Mart combined), but they also mark up the price to $13.99 for some reason. They even seem to have EVERY Skylander and Disney Infinity figure going back to version 1.0 of the game series. They might tempt me to get into that series when version 3.0 puts Star Wars characters in the game.
: I do want the Pac-Man Amiibo not only
: because it's Pac-Man but his Mario Kart 8
: Mii costume is actually pretty bad ass
: looking. In fact it's the only costume that
: made me say, "Whoah, that's COOL!"
: :-)
Is that where the helmet looks like a live version of the arcade game? I only saw a clip from the DLC or during Nintendo Direct. The MK8 game looks pretty neat. I hadn't played MK Wii for a while, until this past weekend with my cousins. I still HATE blue shells (4 of them hit me at Coconut Mall), and is it me, or are not many of the courses very memorable? I've only played 8 as a demo, and the graphics are pretty sweet. It seems almost TOO complex now, since you're picking tires, a "glider," going underwater ... I MIGHT be interested in the costumes (too bad I didn't buy Sonic or Mega Man while they were well-stocked), but how does your Mii character handle? Is it basically like using any other "heavyweight" character (fast, as long as you can keep from crashing)? In the Wii game, I mostly use Rosalina (and get laughed at by my girl cousins) or Funky Kong for whatever reason. Bowser is usually a bad guy, and who are the other heavy players?
The main thing I haven't liked about the DLC is the way it's sort of a "Nintendo Kart" game now. What do Link or "Animal Crossing" have to do with a Mario game? They already started some of that in MK Wii with Diddy (his first appearance?), Funky, DK Mountain, DK Summit ...

Meanwhile, what emotion do you have from seeing this picture?

It looks legit. The question is, why would Wal*Mart let an idiot buy up the whole lot of Gold Mario? What does golden Mario do differently from the other Mario figures? It might not be a big deal to miss out on him as far as the "Mario Party 10" content (the game gets mixed reviews). He just looks cool as a collectible.
At least they announced silver Mario coming on 5/29 (supposedly), and I don't think he's exclusive. Marth, and even MetaKnight (Best Buy only?) might be in stores right now, but I didn't go out to check. There was a "reprint" of Villager (Japanese import) they showed online, where he was actually WORSE than the original (my opinion). The person narrating the video liked it better somehow, due to the smaller eyes (to me, the exaggerated eyes make the first edition so distinctive, and isn't that true to how he/she looks in the "Animal Crossing" game series?).
