Soo....
I just read Omenix's Silver Mario thread....
AND
I have reviewed that I have successfully steered my family and I clear of the Amiibo thing...
but...THE SPLATOON GREEN SQUID AMIIBO!!!!! C'Mon!! Too Cool!!!
Yeah...We're gonna get the Splatoon Amibo 3-Pack (The only way to get the Green Squid.)
My son and I went to the Gamestop Splatoon Demo last week and we participated in the online Splatoon Turf War Global Testfire Demo this past Saturday. (they opened Splatoon for online play thru the WiiU for 1 hour).
The server got totally overrun on Saturday and they crashed after about 5 minutes...lol. Hey! They used the opportunity to test their systems. They were effectively offline for the majority of that first hour. Wisely, They got it up and running just as the hour ran out and they WISELY extended the gameplay for another hour to make up.
It was fun, my wife agrees and the game will be bought at some time. Oddly, the amiibos are what we are picking up on opening day. I was advised that they will likely disappear very quickly as they and the game are released on 5/29.
So I and we (the royal "we" not the gaming Wii), will be entering the Amiibo world. But thanks to your posts of warning/danger/caution...We will enter this world with our eyes open and our wallets closed.
