Amiibos are so awesome. What makes them so awesome is how vague they’ve become, and they’ve gathered an aura of mystery about them. And the older they get the more value they’ll gain.

[@Beepbeep_its_treasure]

😂😂😂 So basically people have no idea what they do. Which is why I'm here, 7 years later

[@AshTheDuke]

i feel amibos are scam

[@kayleesmith9757]

Tuan Do: I don't recommend buying alot
Me: *sitting next to my 16 amiibos* there is never enough

[@encycl07pedia-]

Congrats on falling victim to their stupid scheme to milk even more money out of you. 16 Amiibos at the base price of $12.99 is $207.84 before taxes. That means you spent over $200 for silly physical DLC, potentially much more depending on whether you shelled out to scalpers or not.

A year before the switch.... if only they knew how great it was

I might start a collecting these.

[@Seablobel8]

Thanks I have them but I have no idea what they do. I thought they were toys.

[@ayrwensplace]

WE ALL KNOW SONIC IS A SEGA CHARACTER!
He’s in Smash Bros 3DS and following versions. That’s why Sonic has an Amiibo.

[@Regal_Ninetales]

Also, he said Mario characters like Mario, DIDDY KONG
Diddy kong is a donkey Kong character

[@cine-ish]

@@Regal_Ninetales DK games are inherently part of the Mario universe.

Did this with amiibos and went to 2058 and can't use it until then is there a fix? If it helps it was majoras mask link

[@r-meister25]

Thank you so much 😊!! I finally get it now with this video!

[@robreynolds721]

I’m 30 seconds in. What the hell is an NFT

[@nugge.t]

So I don’t get it so if you play super smash bros and play as a normal character without the amiibo it won’t save data but with the amiibo it will

[@realjwolf8797]

THANK YOU

[@onemga]

Sonic isn't a Nintendo character

[@projectdoomster7760]

NAHHH, REALLY? YA' THINK?

[@okay5573]

Is intentionally whooshing a trend now a days?

[@ryneprince7113]

@Jim's Studio yes

[@ryneprince7113]

@Jim's Studio well, it is. It gives you enough info about the video maker. Like he doesnt know what he is talking about, so then you can stop wasting your time.

[@ryneprince7113]

@Jim's Studio how?

[@dallase1]

I wonder if anyone made a Android App to hack them and make them at the highest level without having to actually play the games and level up the hard regular way?

[@G1AnimeBoyz]

I dont get it why would you need an amiibo for link when its already a playable character in smash bros?

[@thedimarcoguy]

Maybe a new outfit or variation unlocks

[@JamesMaund538]

G1AnimeBoyz I know I’m late but you can level up your amiibo and make them stronger

[@GamerDadschannel]

I didnt even know you can use them with the switch and i have about 30

[@imjustherefortehlulz]

Consoomer moment

[@ethanelliott592]

So they're just hype. Man I was thinking something more similar to skylanders but transferable. It would be awesom to have my own custom character transferable to different games.

[@okay5573]

Same here. I was a bit disappointed to be honest

[@jbui2073]

I wanted a 3ds for my birthday and an a sonic smash amiibo

[@nathanmitchellthegamerz6858]

my snake amiibo did no save data can you show me how to save your amiibo's data

[@hollie.c1987]

Do the amiibos work with all games that are amiibo compatible?

[@marcsoulon7878]

Miss Hollie I believe certain games only work with it corresponding amiibos. The top left of an amiibo’s packaging shows the name of the game that it works with.

[@hollie.c1987]

marc soulon thank you!

[@UltramanTiga96]

Where is the scanner in each Amiibo figure?

The bottom of it. (The little podium.)

Okay thank you

[@h2omasterplo60]

And what is with the new Nintendo 2ds?

[@TechiesUnofficial]

To all Amiibo owners, $20 for something you can only use on a very few selected games, is it worth it? Would like to hear your experience. Thanks!

[@Remster624]

You can make your own amiibos for 30 cents using nfc tags

[@Kroll-2]

[@ChristianoLord9]

I paid 15 bucks for an amiibo that I can't use on any game that I have.
Worth it.

[@scottjohnson6674]

Popular Nintendo characters, like Sonic!

[@R0B0Gamer]

So, I’m new to this. You said you can level up and power up the amiibo character but can you do that for any character anyway on the console or do you need the amiibo?

[@silentchef1874]

R0B0_Gamer that’s what I’m thinking...

[@xirochamber5863]

So it’s basically skylanders without the base.

what did he call smash 1:04

[@imaddictedtostarwars3949]

Does the 2DS work with amiibo

[@TechWallsReview]

Yes, the new Nintendo 2DS works with Amiibo without any accessory.

[@MrStubbs8157]

Lootboxes with even advantages over other in games? Does nintendo really get away with physical pay2win lootboxes? I guess so

[@josesanchezrodriguez1783]

MrStubbs1981 they aren’t loot boxes since they aren’t random

[@McLoviniam]

josé sanchez rodriguez but they are pay to win since anyone who buys an amibo has an advantage over someone without one

Buying a 20 dollar thing for something stupid

[@utatiwentworth660]

just a FEW HUNDRED BUCKS

[@JesusJavier-MyAccount]

You can't see it, but there's a teeny tiny chip into the bottom of the character (not the case with amiibo cards). You see the base? There's a NFC chip over there, which you can look by tampering with the figurine, which you REALLY don't want to.
"Buying a 20 dollar thing for something stupid" You are actually sounding like my father.

[@pocketneogeo-inter]

It's something stupid and expensive. It's just a Memory Card (very limited capacity) with a wireless NFC chip. Amiibo= wireless memory card with very low range and capacity , now that's what I call stupid.

[@fervcorsica3358]

@@pocketneogeo-inter it's not only that. It's an actual figurine. Since you dont see the appeal in buying collectible toys then of course it will look stupid. For example, I dont like baseball or trading cards, but there are really old collectible baseball trading cards worth in the millions out there. Value is subjective.

I must admit That's a really good point.
