Nintendo's Amiibo (Wii U, 3DS)

If people will buy The Sims and Dynasty Warriors just because of a Nintendo logo, they'll buy Skylanders for one.

Pretty sure people buy way more Sims on PC than they do Tomodachi Life on 3DS.

Non-gamers do, sure. But people who would otherwise rightfully turn up their nose at that shit will gladly lap it up with the Nintendo logo on the case.

I sure did!

Sold it for $29.99 after having it for 2 months though, so it worked out.

So we've established branding is important? I'm not sure what's going on here.

I'm interested to see how this concept pans out. They have all the beans in the Smash Brothers basket right now with a "promise" of support in other titles. And you don't even need the figures in the first place.....so yeah.

If SFxT had only sold action figures instead of gems, huh?

Non-gamer money spends as good as gamer money does.

And if I owned EA stock, I'd give a fuck about that.

I was showing my daughter the class portrait Geo posted, and her reaction was interesting. She wanted Peach, Kirby, Mario, Pikachu, Star Fox, and Yoshi... unless it meant she couldn't get Skylanders: Trap Team. Unfortunately, that was my plan.

[Chux]

So, is she going Skylanders, or Nintendo?
