Fan creates a custom Mewtwo “amiibo” for use with Pokemon Rumble U
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 2 Comments
There is no Mewtwo amiibo – at least not yet. That means it’s time for fans to pick up the slack!
What you see above is a unique, fan-made Mewtwo “amiibo”. It was built from an old Mewtwo toy and features the Mewtwo NFC chip from the Pokemon Rumble U toy line. The figure features unique packaging as well.
This custom Mewtwo amiibo is up on eBay, and bids have surpassed the $250 mark. You can check out the auction here.

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Rumors | 30 Comments
Nintendo appears to be cooking up a couple of special Mario amiibo. “Children’s Product Certificates” for gold and silver figures have been spotted on the company’s website. That would make this official, though we haven’t heard anything out of Nintendo – so we’ll mark this a rumor for now.

Well, this is certainly disconcerting! The official product page for the Rosalina amiibo appears to have been removed from Target’s website. That doesn’t bode well for the figure’s future at the retailer…
Super Mario series amiibo apparently won’t be rare
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Rumors | 14 Comments
Amazon opened up pre-orders for the new Super Mario amiibo series last week. In just a few hours, stock was mostly gone. Yet despite the seemingly high demand for these new amiibo, none will be rare. Apparently.
Destructoid, citing a trusted source from GameStop, says that Nintendo was “confused” by the rush to pick up the latest amiibo. Representatives are telling GameStop and others stores that the figures will be stocked in “abundance,” and that no one should worry about not getting them on the first round of pre-orders. While Toad will allegedly be the “lightest allocation,” he will still not be considered “rare.”

Update: Confirmed – Target apparently not restocking Rosalina amiibo, won’t have some wave 3 figures in store
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Rumors | 14 Comments
Update (2/2) Destructoid appears to have confirmed this news. Check out the following:
A Target employee has confirmed the authenticity of this document, an internal newsletter called “The Vibe in Electronics.” They state that running out of stock and not getting more shipments for a Target exclusive item is common. They also cement the fact that Sheik may be rare as there haven’t been many shipments coming in at all, but Toon Link is in fact common.
If you’re living in the U.S. and have interest in the Rosalina amiibo, you may want to try finding product sooner rather than later. An internal memo from Target indicates that the figure will not be restocked. As many of you know, Target is the only retailer selling the Rosalina amiibo in the United States.
There are some other interesting points from the memo as well. For instance, Target will apparently not stock the Mega Man, Sonic, King Dedede, and Ike amiibo in store. Consumers will instead be directed to order from the retailer’s website.

Fans line up for wave 3 amiibo at Nintendo World
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 12 Comments
People came flocking to Nintendo World in New York City this week in hopes of getting their hands on the wave 3 amiibo. Kotaku reports that on one particular day, over 300 people were queuing around the block.
Interestingly, Nintendo World is the only store in the U.S. to have all of the retailer-exclusive figures in one place. The likes of Shulk and Rosalina were promised, which certainly made Nintendo World an attractive destination for consumers who are invested in obtaining all amiibo.
