Fire Emblem Fates – amiibo details
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 7 Comments
Fire Emblem Fates is one of Nintendo’s latest games to make use of amiibo. Players can scan in Marth, Ike, Lucina and Robin from the Smash Bros. line for use in the My Castle area. Here’s everything we know:
– Characters appear in your plaza
– Each one will challenge you to a battle
– Speak to them and they’ll share humorous fourth-wall dialogue about their time in Super Smash Bros
– Robin says: “I have the strangest feeling that before coming here, I battled against many combatants… launching people, getting launched…”
– Ike: “I just remembered… before coming here, I matched up against countless warriors from all over the world to hone my skills.”
– When you enter battle, the camera zooms in on Ike, who performs his iconic taunt from Super Smash Bros
– Lucina mentions “that battleground,” a place where she “honed her skills by matching up against competitors from around the world.”
– Marth says he’s happy to see you again and says “As we spoke before, my bonds with everyone have deepened through battle.”
– He then claims that he wants to know more about you, and then challenges you to a fight
– Characters join your party after defeating the amiibo fighters in battle
– The main character will mention that s/he’s “is in the middle of an adventure”
– The amiibo characters will then respond differently
– Robin reflects on his own adventure, having fought many powerful enemies and making good friends
– Ike says that by following you, he’ll become more powerful
– Lucina notes that she came to this world to borrow your power
– Marth notes that he understands you better now, and would like to join you without interrupting your journey

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 4 Comments
Earlier today, we found out that the Dark Pit amiibo will be exclusive to Best Buy in the United States. The retailer has since followed up with an official announcement.
Best Buy will be handling the sale of Dark Pit in a different manner than usual. For one thing, pre-orders won’t be available for the figure. He also won’t be sold online. You’ll need to head to your local Best Buy on July 31 for a chance of obtaining Dark Pit.
Nintendo has no plans for amiibo support in Zelda: Tri Force Heroes
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 3 Comments
Most Nintendo games these days incorporate amiibo functionality in one way or another. The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes, however, will not.
Director Hiromasa Shikata told IGN that Tri Force Heroes “isn’t a natural fit” for amiibo. “There’s no reason to shoehorn it in,” he added.
Shikata’s words in full:
“I think it’s really something as simple as this game isn’t a natural fit for it. I think [that’s] because we’re focused on giving players the ability to choose different outfits to impact their experience within the game. We didn’t think amiibo added anything other than what games with it are already doing. There’s no reason to shoehorn it in.”
Dark Pit amiibo confirmed as Best Buy exclusive in the U.S.

Looks like we have another retailer-exclusive amiibo on our hands here in the United States! When Dark Pit launches later this month, it seems as though it will only be sold by Best Buy. You’ll notice that there’s an “Only @ Best Buy” image attached to the amiibo when searching from him over on the store’s website.
The Palutena amiibo launches alongside Dark Pit this month as well. Chances are that figure will also be a retailer-exclusive.
