Detective Pikachu amiibo releases March 23.
Detective Pikachu amiibo releases March 23.
Recently managed to find a Smash Mario amiibo (well bundle, but I sold the game again) and a Jigglypuff amiibo (for €5).
Now all that is left are Smash Yoshi and Robin and both Cloud and both Corrin amiibo and I'm done...
I'll finally be done with the Smash line-up... I'm so close to the entire collection!

Japan exclusive (for now?) - looks nice! It'll be worth the import, although I'll probably just leave it nib while holding out hope that NA will get a release later on that I can open.
Wonder if it will scan as Pikachu in Mario Maker.
Wait....technically this is the first amiibo in the "Pokemon" series!
It's the one-and-only Amiibo from the Detective Pikachu series.
Well, the box says that. But each series of amiibo have their distinct series tag.
Super Mario Odyssey amiibo (except the cereal) are just Super Mario amiibo
BoTW and Twilight Princess amiibo AND the 30th Anniversary amiibo? Zelda.
This one has a map... I'd say that's more a detective thing than Pokemon.
The game is coming out in EU and NA.

So wait, in the US version does it Not give hints and stuff, but only unlocks cutscenes? It does the hints in the other versions from my understanding, right?
It'd be weird if there were different functionalities I think.
I really like the idea of a large amiibo line, but I'm curious as to what AmiiboERA thinks; bigger is better too or should they all be the same sort of size as the normal amiibo. Presumably this would be more expensive, but in turn they could have a more premium range of amiibo that are larger and have more details.

Oh yeah, I just checked the NA Pokémon website, and they say that the amiibo can "unlock short videos that may contain helpful hints for your investigation." If you combine NoA's tweet and Pokémon's statement, then it sounds like cutscenes give you clues, and you can re-watch them with the amiibo to study for clues? or maybe you can re-watch the cutscenes with clues being highlighted? or maybe wires got crossed and one of them wrote the wrong thing.. or maybe they are both write, and this amiibo has tons of functionality?!
I like prefer the regular sized amiibos, but I'm open to having a few larger ones. I'd rather there not be a full line of them, though - just the odd one per year or so is enough.

Detective Pikachu page, you currently can add to cart but not preorder.

I thought it was a bit more. They were hand-made, so that's fair. A slightly-larger Pikachu though? Nah, even the MonHuns were worth their price.
I'll still get it (not Walmart, anywhere else up yet?) but doesn't seem like a good pricepoint.
No, other retailers have put it up yet. I'm personally waiting for best buy so I can use my discount. I'm a sucker for Pikachu so I'll be picking this up for sure. I'm also a sucker for Yoshi, and I sure didn't regret getting the Mega Yarn Yoshi.
I mean, it's a little more than slightly bigger. It's about twice the dimensions, so roughly 4x the volume/mass.

I finally found the Super Mario Cereal and promptly used an extra broken Mario figure and the papercraft template by GandaKris to make the Delicious amiibo his own...well, delicious amiibo!
In other news, I got my Snack World DataFigs from Amazon JP! They're really nicely made. The technology is called LEVEL5 Touch, which uses a fancy doodad to scan the NFC chip via Bluetooth. Very interesting stuff! I'm curious if Level-5 is going to continue making DataFigs with TOMY for future games, especially with Yo-Kai Watch.
Don't worry about my Switch, any marks you see were just temporary, not scratches. :P

They were up since yesterday. I decided to wait. Hate dealing Walmart.
Were they? Yesterday I could add it to the cart but couldn't check out. This morning when I looked they were all gone.
Oh well, I guess. Stupid Walmart and their amiibos and amiibos branded cereals.
Cardboard Amiibo
Amiibo made from cardboard OR an Amiibo that is the new Nintendo character - a piece of cardboard.

I noticed on the first look video (it's right around the 1:40 mark), the kid sticks a "1" nob into the piano unlocking a Cat button (and presumably, the piano makes cat noises).
I'm not sure how big the hole is/if the Joy Cons could read an amiibo from there, but that could be a neat little amiibo pair up; use amiibo to unlock themed sounds..sort of like Mario Paint.
Its difficult to tell how the Joy Con reads certain things and the exact mechanics of Labo, but i'd be shocked if *something* doesn't have amiibo support of some type.

I was checking Amazon JP today and saw that there's already a new wave of Snack World DataFigs! They don't ship to Amazon US yet so I might end up getting them on HLJ this time around. Very cool!
Feel free to make your own Nintendo-Related NFC Figure OT for a subsection of a niche that doesn't detract from the thread. You can also make one for Small Figures With No NFC Functionality That Look Like Amiibo if you feel the Totaku Collection and other similar figures deserve a home as well.

For those who were waiting to order from Best Buy, Detective Pikachu is up. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/nintendo-amiibo-figure-detective-pikachu/6195480.p?skuId=6195480
Thank you kindly. Missed Wal-marts preorder the other day but got this one.
Sorry to go off topic a bit but have you played snack world? If so how was it and for what platform? I've been tempted to import the 3ds game. I generally enjoyed my time with yo-kai busters.

The cereal's not that bad, it's kinda just there. Now, if it were chocolate cereal, that'd be even better!
Nope, it's only in Japan right now, and there's a Switch version that'll be coming out there this year. That will probably be the one LEVEL-5 brings over.
On a totally related note, Disney better fucking bring Mud and Bugs back when Lion King releases.
