Nintendo 3DS & 3DSXL General Discussion

I get in and then it signs me out. I can't even order anything. Of course they put these rewards up the day of the snowstorm instead of the first of the month

 

[BurningRage]

Finally was able to order. I picked the jigsaw puzzle. The Smash Bros. posters were tempting though. I have 450 coins left so I'll pick up two games.

 

[MadCow]

I only had 830 points going in and sadly while I love Zelda, none of the physical rewards enticed me. So I grabbed Earthbound and will grab another cheap game or two and I'm good.

 

[BurningRage]

I got Earthbound as the Platinum award last year.

I got Earthbound as the Platinum award last year.

This is the first year I hit Platinum. Are they even doing Platinum rewards this year?

 

[BurningRage]

I have no idea.

It took me 8 hours of refreshing the page but i finally managed to get through and order the message bag

This is the first year I hit Platinum. Are they even doing Platinum rewards this year?

They are but they said it's only going to be a digitial offering like a video game download.

That's exactly how I felt. I got in the website early this morning. (Thanks for the heads up, Duckett. ) Didn't see have apparel, accessories, etc. that I liked except for maybe the Zelda soft case. With that said, I'll probably go with the digital downloads. More bang for my coins.

Picked up Donkey Kong Country Returns for 3DS and Earthbound for Wii U.

You still get coins for the purchases too so make sure to not blow your coins too early.

So what's your favorite part about the new system? One thing that stands out above all else?

Good to hear. Can't wait to get this in-hand for myself!! Roughly 2 weeks left.

 

[Chapter 2099]

I never thought I'd say it...but I'll probably catch the Amiibo craze...

So other than Smash Bros. and Mario Kart, what can you use these on??

And can someone explain them in a nut shell????

Thank you, sir.

Alright. Checked out the Q&A. Very helpful, but I still don't get WHAT they do. I understand where you can use them, but if you buy Mario does it allow you to play as Mario? And the more often you use it, does it 'level' you up to make your character stronger than the 'other' Mario that comes stock in said game? I guess I don't get why you use them.

What each figure's function is really depends on the game you use it for. Here are Mario's for example:

Game -> Function
Super Smash Bros for Wii U -> Customizable & trainable fighter
Mario Kart 8 -> Unlock Mario Racing Suit for Mii
Hyrule Warriors -> Unlock Weapon, Rupee, or Material bonus
Mario Party 10 -> Use Mario in amiibo party mode
Super Smash Bros for 3DS -> Customizable & trainable fighter
Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy + -> Unlock Mario-themed F-22 plane
One Piece: Super Grand Battle! X (JP) -> Unlock Mario Costume for Luffy

In Smash Brothers, each figure is used to level up that specific character and make them stronger. With other games the figures usually unlock special weapons/costumes/skins/etc. They're completely enhancers to the game and not at all necessary.
