Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 9 Comments
Toys “R” Us will be running a slight deal on amiibo figures next week. If you buy three, you’ll be able to get them for $30.
amiibo figures will typically be priced at $12.99 (not sure why the ad above lists $13.99). So by taking advantage of the Toys “R” Us deal, you’ll save nearly $10.
The deals shown above will technically begin on November 16, and will last through November 22. But since amiibo isn’t launching until November 21, you’ll only have a couple of days to take advantage of the sale.

There are three types of game boards. If you turn on the Custom Fighters option, the fighters will be preset with custom special moves. The number on a fighter’s portrait on the game board indicates which custom move set that fighter is using–this also adds to the randomness of this mode.
