Physical DLC Thread [Toys-To-Life. amiibo, etc.]

[Kosheh]

So I bought an Amiibo today on Amazon. It's a Japanese Import but I really wanted the squid girl :I
I'm now going to get sucked into this so hard aren't I?

If you only want characters that aren't well-known to casual players (like Ness or Little Mac), then yes, you'll probably get sucked into it hard. You have to get sucked into it in order to find the weird niche amiibo you're looking for.
But if you're looking for Mario or Zelda characters (except maybe Rosalina) then you'll be fine :/


No one's really hyped though about the Splatoon amiibo as the Smash Bros. series and Nintendo seems to be advertising the game very aggressively, so I'd say that there's a very good chance you'll be able to get the Splatoon amiibos in stores once they come out (if you bought a marked-up preorder on eBay for the Splatoon amiibos for like $40 I'd cancel it) 

Basically, everyone who wanted to pre-order the Splatoon amiibo most likely already has, so you should be OK just picking up the one you want in-store.
However, in the States it seems like the squid amiibo is exclusive to the three-pack (and that one, as a result might be trickier to get)
Though the Splatoon amiibo in this game are read-only, so you could just borrow a friend's amiibo to unlock the content needed in this game if you get really antsy (and the clothing can be equipped by either the boy or girl, the difference with the school uniform is that the boy wears shorts and the hairclip is changed)
