How much does amiibos cost in the US? and can someone compare the price with something else.


$13, so less than a quarter of a regularly priced video game here. Maybe the cost to go out to eat twice? Cost of a movie ticket? A few beers?


I would pick an Amiibo over any of those because all of those require social interaction, when instead I could be leveling up my Amiibo in Smash

2.5m is US only?


Yeah,In USA..And I don't understand why the writer hasn't pointed it out on the title!



Sprinkle on a little more advertising, and you have a thriving product line that people know and love.

Also, some "buy 2 get 1 free" deals would be nice about now.



Sounds like the biggest Wii U success to date honestly.

Will make Nintendo tons of money



I will only get one : Lucina.

And it's enough : d

I keep forgetting to pre-order Sonic.

Sonic is all I need.

And maybe Lucina

And possibly Toon Link

And supposedly Bowser.

What have I become?! AHHHHH!



Hmm, interesting. Here is my expert evaluation: it means there are 2.5 million Amiibos out there in people's households.

No thanks required vg, I do it for the love of it.



It's highly profitable... So they're making a good bit of money.

I hear that Sonic is pretty hard to pre-order...

They would sell more if we're not so hard to find. Thankfully Marth is getting a second run.
