I like the idea of Amiibo figures better... Maybe it's just me.

I like the idea of cards. The chips are small and don't need all that plastic.
It's cheaper and at least has some tradition with Nintendo's past.

Bring the cards, don't need the toys.

Yeah, but the odds of me losing a card is WAYYYYYYY greater than losing a figure. Not that I'm against the cards.

If they release some cards that give me some rare mech or guns on X, or even passage to some planet, I would pay some money for it, not much, like 10 bucks at the most. It is stupid, but I would. 

But you would not caught me dead buying cute little figurines. I just don´t like posters, figurines, statues and stuff like that.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Hmm non figure versions of amiibo, wonder which user around here has been suggesting that... =P
Also YAY!!!! I dont want those ugly, expensive figures. Give me a card (and epic folder) any day of the week.

A card can simply go in your wallet, much more portable. The figurines do go well with the SSB motif, it just doesn't appeal to me. Thank god I have no interest in SSBU

The cards will happen with a new Pokemon game for the Wii U and 3DS, I predicted this ages ago when they first announced the NFC functionality. There are only so many figurines that people can fit into their homes.

I don't really know much about Pokemon tbh, but I imagine there are hundreds of different ones...the only way that you can buy and collect them all is to have cards instead of figurines.


719 at the moment, 721 once 2 event pokemon that were leaked actually release, so they have huge gold mine with Pokemon, be with cards or figures, though I doubt they are crazy enough to do a figure per Pokemon.



COMG guide to points: 1 point = Raging. 2 points = Beasting. 3 points = Tearing it up. 4 points = Berzerk. 7 points = Rampage. 12 points = Burst. 15 points = god mode. 20+ points = DIVIDING BY ZERO!!! 40+ points = Youkai (originally Pokemon).

-1 = Negabeasting. -5= NegaRampage. -10 = NegaBurst

It had to be the natural progression.



I'd assume the cards are for Pokemon and the amiibos will stay for major Nintendo characters since there's gonna be way too many amiibo pokemon if they do it like that.



I'd like if they made then cheaper. I want them but they are kinda pricey for toys.

I want to see what kind of features these NFC objects do before I get excited about them. I think it would be smart to include a few cards with games that will use them in the future like 3DS AR cards. If only Nintendo owned Megaman and used these cards like the Battle Network games.



Hmm, hopefully it all works out cause figures are one thing but cards? Neh
