::falls to knees::

Dear Nintendo Gods, please understand that I have yet to purchase an amiibo. Ever since they were announced I told myself there was only one amiibo I needed in my life, and that was Ness. EarthBound is my fucking—er, freakin’ jam (I forgot it’s not polite to swear in front of Gods) as I grew up with EarthBound, and it had a profound impact on my childhood. With that said, dear Nintendo Gods, why oh WHYYYY would you limit the Ness amiibo to GameStop?!

Here’s the sitrep, friends. I don’t collect Amiibos. In fact, if someone were to ask me of the purpose of amiibos I would say, “They’re cute lil’ figurines based off of video game characters that interact with certain games.” If that’s not the most generic response you’ve ever heard I don’t know what is. So, I want you to know I’m making this post because I know a metric fuckton of you care about and collect said amiibos. If I screw something up, bear with me. Learn me. Teach me. Be gentle.

Ahem-hem-hem.

SO. Wave 4 (there have already been four waves of these things?!) is coming April 24th and includes amiibos for Robin, Lucina, Pac-Man, Wario, Ness (SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!) and Charizard.

Note: I WILL have at least one Ness amiibo in my life. Perhaps two, maybe three. I just need him. I need all of the Earthbound paraphenelia I can get my grubby hands on. ;____;

BUT THAT’S NOT ALL. Nay, for there are more for ye to feast thine eyes upon!

This Super Mario line features Mario, Peach, Toad, Luigi, Yoshi and Bowser. (Some are redesigns, no?) When Mario Party 10 also releases on March 20th amiibos can be used for several amiibo-only features, such as amiibo Party.

Note, though, if you want to play Mario Party with the same amiibo you’ve used for Smash Bros. you WILL be required to delete your Smash data.

THERE! Did I do good? /insert big-ass cheesy grin
