User blog:NyanMeowstic/Nyan Talks: Amiibo part:1

Hey guys, Nyan here. Today we are talking about AMIIBO. Today in part 1 we are talking about origin and what makes them different then a normal AI.

Skylanders involvement
We have to go all the way back to 2011, Skylanders was released( wait what?) Skylanders was originally not skylanders but was a toys to life idea presented to Nintendo. Nintendo rejected the idea however Bowser and DK would later go on to guest star in super chargers.

Pokemon Rumble U
Nintendo's original idea for a NFC toy line were NFC figures for an E-shop game called pokemon Rumble U. These did not do to well do to Rumble Us Lackluster sales. But the Idea was set and something sparked from there.

Mr. Iwata's involvement and E3 2014
One day on a train ride, the late Satoru Iwata thought up of an Idea of NFC figures on multipile games(something like that). At E3 2014, the first amiibos were revealed, a few months later the 1st amiibos launched.

Launches
A brief over view on how each launch wentin the USA. Wave 1: went pretty well... only Marth was super rare, Villager and Wii fit would later become rare as well. Restocks for all except Dk, Kirby, Samus and Yoshi Wave 2: Alot of Amiibos were rare, all would later be restocked Wave 3: The start of the exclusives, all hard to find except bowser. Restocks later on as well Wave 4: Amiibogedon, However RESTOCKS LATER PREVAILED however Robin and Lucina have yet to be restocked July 2015: Dark Pit and Palutena were both exclusives but easy to get on launch day.. Dark Pit would later get restocked but Palutena has not been restocked yet. September 2015: Every thing was well stocked, exclusives especially. October I believe is when a lot of restocks happened November: every thimg was well stock AGAIN. More restockss happened as well

What makes an amiibo an amiibo
Amiibos are different than your normal AIs, They can learn from you but not to much. At level 50they deal more damage than a normal cpu and they take less damage as well. Amiibo can be fed equipment, do this only if you want your soul to be lost. :/( Trust me)

Thanks for reading!!! Next time I'll cover several methods to train an effective amiibo. Until then, Nyan Out!!!
