Why is this not more popular?
People just want the figures. How hard is it to understand?
because people want the little figurines
also
>MUH PIRACY
Average people are beginning to wake up to the fact that Amiibos are a messed-up business.
Because the actual "toy to life" functionality of Amiibos are shit and the people who buy them are just regular buyfags.
>>320952035
What is this?
>>320952170
Flashcard for Amiibos.
>>320952170
NFC piracy
it's dumb because most who buy amiibo buy it for the figures not their functionality
>>320952217
Woah really? Considering how rampant Flash Cards are talked about here I am surprised I have never heard of this.
>>320952035
Because the appeal of amiibo for the people that actually buy them is getting the little figures, the gameplay stuff is just a bonus.
>>320952035
Amiibos don't actually have a use outside of their physical appearance, so pirating Amiibos is probably the stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard of, because it removes their one and only function.
>>320952259
>Forgetting all the shit locked out with Splatoon
>Amiibo Festival
>>320952035
which game would actually warrant buying this?
maybe they should of included little hologram amiibos LOL
>>320952035
>paying to pirate
>>320952319
Splatoon says hi.
>>320952349
Splatoon
Possibly Mario Maker if you don't want to spend hours to get the costumes
Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival
Is there a something like this for DI or Skylanders?
Because those games have more of a reason to have something like this.
>>320952331
I'll give you splatoon, but if you buy a game called amiibo festival and don't want to buy amiibo, you have something wrong with you.
>>320952035
>You wouldn't pirate an Amiibo
>>320952486
>Splatoon
As if anyone really plays special missions.
The only people that would even play special missions are the kind to buy amiibos anyway
>Possibly Mario Maker if you don't want to spend hours to get the costumes
yeah, you said it yourself. you can unlock them without amiibos
>Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival
Why would anyone play this 3/10 bad game?
What I don't get is if it's just NFC, why hasn't someone already done this but for mobile phones? NFC functionality is practically standard in phones now. Seems far more practical than a separate dongle to boot.
>>320952502
The creator has a fully customizable NFC spoofer nearly ready to release called the N2lite. It is designed to work with Skylanders and Disney Infinity as well as having an intelligent firmware so it can update itself to work with new encryption or future games that use the NFC technology.
>>320952608
They lock out mini games, weapons, and costumes.
>most who want amiibos just want the figures
>the unlocking functions of them are pretty unremarkable
>paying more than what you're pirating to pirate
>>320952035
I wonder if this will open a backdoor for homebrew.
>>320952608
>Why would anyone play this 3/10 bad game?
Because it's cute as fuck. Other than that aspect and the pretty fun DIE side-game though it's trash.
>>320952992
literally how
>>320952871
Have you seen the prices of the Amiibo 3 pack?
>>320953043
Modified Amiibo save data.
>>320952331
>caring about using an amiibo to press a button
>caring about LITERALLY one of the worst games of the year
>>320953084
Thirty-five bucks. This thing costs like sixty last I heard.
>>320953135
first of all it's encrypted and then even if you decrypted it, how would a vew bits of information like gameID and super smash bros level help with homebrew?
>putting an entire mode behind ONE single amiibo
>hoping it won't be out of stock
>Sorry, but you can't play co-op if you don't have our plastic toy
>It's also more expensive than regular amiibos for this reason
Kill yourself Nintendo and Yacht Club games.
>>320953228
Splatoon is an amazing game.
>>320952035
I have several amiibos and never ever used one in game
I think this should answer your question
Chinese hack + people don't buy Amiibos for the digital content.
>>320953265
they LITERALLY delayed the amiibo release so they could make more of them
>>320952331
>>Forgetting all the shit locked out with Splatoon
A very few amount of costumes and campaign mission with different weapons? Wow, how fucking tragic.
>>320952319
>literally what is smash
>>320953265
The mode was made long after the game was completed.
You can't pull the EA card on this one.
The amiibo content isn't that big or coolunless you REALLY wantbto play the AC amiibo Partyand people just want the figurines, really.
You guys forget the missions in Mega Man Legacy Collection being locked out.
>>320952331
>>Forgetting all the shit locked out with Splatoon
I honestly did forget.
Like I actually have the game and I don't remember what was unlocked with amiibo
ITT: Adults want to justify their crappy toy purchases
>>320953528
>game comes with gold amiibo
LOCKED OUT CONTENT FUCKING CRAPCOM REEEEEE
>>320953761
woudn't you agree that having toys of some of your favourite video game heroes isn't any bit worse than let's say having chistmas decorations depicting angels, santa clause or something similiar?
>>320953347
He's talking about amiiblunder shitstival
>>320953903
Religion is a little more important than video games.
Jesus literally died for your sins.
Did Mario?
>>320953528
>Mega Man Legacy Collection
I want to forget too.
>>320953538
All that comes to mind is the schoolgirl outfit.
>>320953761
I don't need to justify what I choose to waste my money on on an indonesian flipbook enthusiast website
>>320953984
>>320953984
>Jesus literally died for your sins
Unless you're not a Christian and even then there'a a shit load of denominations.
>>320953939
>amiiblunder shitstival
It's literally a board game for kids in video game form. It completely succeeds in what it's trying to do.
Like you wouldn't compare Candy Land to a board game for adults
>>320953903
I suddenly feel like those grandmothers who needlessly collect those bauble figurines for no other reason than just to have them and throws a fit if any snot nosed kids even try to touch them.
fuck my life.
>>320953984
>implying santa clause has anything to do with jesus
>implying that little stuffed reindeers wearing santa clause hats have anything to do with jesus
>implying pic related has anything to do with jesus besides the writing "christmas"
>>320952035
All I know about this is one autistic as fuck friend kept on talking to me about this despite me not giving a shit about amiibos except for one Samus one I bought because I like Samus.
I have no idea why they cared so much about this or why I was always subject to hearing about this thing.
>>320954093
>Unless you're not a Christian
Then why would that person have Angel/Santa Claus decorations?
>I'm secular I just like Christmas
Well it's Christian, you're enjoying a Christ-based holiday even if you want to cherry pick it.
>>320953805
What if you buy digital?
>>320952035
That thing is really fucking expensive. If it was 10$ it would be worth considering maybe.
Ameebers barely give you any benefits for the games, and if I really wanted one I'd get them and keep the figurine.
>>320952331
Amiibo Festival is a bad game regardless of all the Amiibo bullshit
>>320953984
I'm a pagonist
>>320954150
see
>>320954171
CHRIST
mas
>>320954119
I'm calling bullshit on this right now.
Yes, fucking Candy Land is a better game than Amiibo Festival.
>>320954171
>christmas
>a christian holiday
>>320954257
the christmas we celebrate is so far detached from christianity, we might as well change the name to winter holidays.
>>320954119
Hell yeah I would nigga, did you just fucking call MOTHERFUCKING CANDY LAND anything but a MANLY MAN game?
Fuck is wrong with you kids, you have no goddamned idea what you're talking about
>>320954340
>>320954337
I'm just glad we're talking about something interesting in this thread now.
>>320954179
>he buys digital
Because they don't do anything cool
The most unique one is yarn yoshi and I can't think of any others that do anything neat besides the FE ones. And lots of Nintendo games don't even use them like triforce heroes and Pokémon
>>320953538
>>320953985
The schoolgirl outfit, the samurai outfit, the power armor outfit, the hero replica guns, and a bunch of piss easy missions from the singleplayer game with different weapons.
>>320954392
This thread has gone from Amiibo piracy to Candy Land and Christianity. And we're only 70 posts in.
>>320954527
>and Pokémon
in b4 Pokemon Z announces amiibo support
>>320954586
Orthodox is best Christianity
Catholic would be except for the pedophilia. Catholics actually accept established scientific fact but damn they love their little boys and girls.
>>320952331
>Story mode with a different gun
No one bought Amiibo Festival for the game.
>>320954468
I want to fuck that Navi.
>>320953984
>Did Mario
sometimes i accidentaly fell to a pit on his games, so yeah.
>>320955189
>Nintendo locks ACTUAL CONTENT behind them
Other companies do that too desu, it's called DLC
And they don't even give you a cheap happy meal toy as a bonus, nor can you reuse said on-disk DLC for multiple different titles.
>>320953984
most people don't celebrate christmas because Jesus was born.
They do so because it was a special time from their childhood.
Playing Super Mario was a special time of my childhood. Why can't I have a Super Mario Amiibo when others have a singing Santa Clause? They're both equally useless.
>>320955485
Dude I don't care what you do I was just trying to create some interesting discussion.
>>320955580
look at that christian fag backpaddling his failing jesus logic
>>320955189
>I don't understand why people want figures of the most popular vidya characters ever conceived.
Yeah, real mystery there.
>It's LITERALLY HAPPY MEAL TOYS! Like the ones for MLP.
Yeah, MLP invented figures! Oh, wait...
>Meanwhile Nintendo locks behind ACTUAL CONTENT behind them.
>>320955429 said it best, most companies are more than willing to sell DLC that can only be used for one single game without a physical product. Also, Amiibos aren't subject to DRM.
>>320952035
too expensive
too rare
not enough content
absolute gold for collector fags most people could care less about a hat for their amiibo though and probably just buy 1 or 2 of their favorite characters
>>320955952
>too expensive
>too rare
These are no longer true now.
Only Gold Mario is expensive, and none of them are rare because you can import all of them easily.
>>320955241
He died for your sin of being retarded
>>320956145
what if I never reached a game over?
Is losing a 1up really dying?
>>320952035
>Why is this not more popular?
no one buys em for hte Unlock you stupid china man
