- Do you play Dark Pit in Smash?
- Do you like the character at all?
- Are you trying to unlock content in like...Mario Maker and Wooly World? lol

if the answer to all of them are "no" then you maybe wanna reevaluate your purchase, lol

Just wait a few months (I'd say definitely before Yoshi's Wooly World, or Starfox Zero) and they'll start reprinting the 3-pack to meet consumer demand (yes, even in Canada)

If you have a friend who you think would enjoy the Inkling amiibo, just give them away once you acquire the 3-pack ;P

EDIT: Oh also there's always Australia. If you've got friends in Australia they might be able to hook you up, too I just realized that lol

Thanks for the long info tis a shame though the squid is sold solo only in japan though here's hoping he's sold international solo as well as solo in Canada as well. You also really think the three pack's gonna come back? I thought packs like that are limited forever

Gamestop here in the States restocked them awhile back, along with Ness and King Dedede IIRC, but I'm pretty sure that's just late stock showing up.

Given how popular Splatoon has become and the game just recently receiving updates, why wouldn't they restock it?

I mean, c'mon there was a huge Canadian restock of amiibo not too long ago, so I'd give the Splatoon bundle a little longer.
The thing is, yeah the 3-pack was discontinued in Japan, but if the Squid's sold exclusively in the bundle, I think they've got no choice *but* to rerelease the bundle here.

It just takes kind of a long time. :/

Actually, speak of the devil: that long time is...today.

CPSIA documents were updated to show that there's a new batch of Splatoon 3-packs that have been produced and should be shipping sometime soon.

Neat i wonder what the chances of the Squid being sold solo is though, also someone sold 4 squids online for 4000 yen talk about cheap much.

I'm really looking forward to animal crossing happy home designer

I've read people complain about how the game has been gutted, but honestly I hate fishing and all that other crap. I just want to decorate houses

But wow between the adapter and amiibo cards (which are apparently easy to get in duplicate) I am kind of peeved that I'm being encouraged to spend so much money on one stupid game...

So... I'm not the only one here disgusted by the Amiibo costume sprites in Mario Maker, right?

In what way? They look bad, or do you not like the idea of them?

There is really little reason to dislike them being there despite not liking the way they look, because you can unlock costumes WITHOUT Amiibo.

Not to mention not every costume is Amiibo related.

The way they look. The sprite work looks utterly terrible, especially considering the effort that went into matching the other new elements into every other style.

Even if they're ugly, I still like 'em.

Actually gotta agree here: a lot of them look halfassed. They're as tacky as like the Megaman 8-bit sprites that fans make that don't deviate all that much from the base ):

I will admit though that I really, really like the Inkling Squid sprite...it's just so dopey

I like certain attentions to detail on some of the sprites. For example, the inklings become squids when they duck, and apparently are squids when they swim.

Little Mac uppercuts when he jumps as well. I just wish you could also get a fire flower with an Amiibo costume, that would be awesome.

Yeah, I'm genuinely curious why this wasn't a thing. Is it really that difficult to implement something like that? :/


(actually it probably is; you'd have to probably start the level as the character or something)

I don't dislike those details. They just don't do much for me when the sprite has thirteen colors and scrunches a 19x21 size sprite into a 16x16 grid.

The fact that they're little more then an ugly super mushroom sours the deal for me too. Let Peach float Mario 2 style! Let Bowser shoot fireballs (And actually be Bowser sized!) Let the Inklings crawl around as squids! Let Yoshi have his tongue!

The whole thing just feels tacked on in the worst way.
