The amiibos generally:
amiibos are, so to speak Sammelfiguren for Nintendo fans who are previously produced in two series for the respective Games order (Mario Party 10) or against (Super Smash Bros) to play, with the extra that you in some games still can thus unlock bonuses , So they are not necessary to play a game and absolutely nobody is forced to bring it up. In Hyrule Warriors can be there everyday items, weapons rubies sink etc. with them. In Mario Kart 8, it is possible freischzualten with amiibos different outfits for the driver, in Captain Toad Toad Treasure Tracker can be used to begin a game of hide, the other amiibos bring 1 up. Mario Party 10: some of the same characters will also appear again in a different pose, for example, Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser and Yoshi for the new series. According to Nintendo, however, you can use any amiibo for each game! This means that if I now have my Yoshi already from the Super Smash series, I can use this also for Mario Party and does not need to buy extra "new" Yoshi addition and vice versa. (Here you can see the amiibos then use them as pawns and everyone has their own "ability".) In this day and age where really trying to do with everything possible money I think that's quite "nice" from Nintendo, could have been different , The only downside is that the memory state is deleted from the amiibo, but that's only half as wild.
As should be known by now, you can (so far) not yet "self" play in SSB as Amiibo, but only against him. It's just not a Skylanders. That bothers me so far but no further, because I have informed me about it before buying. At level 50, he is a strong opponent for me. Thanks to the artificial intelligence he met then continues to own and develop "strategies" to counter my typical movements and attacks. In addition, it is possible to feed the Amiibos with items and, accordingly, change their values, you can also personalize a little with regard to the colors.
At Sheik:
Since Ocarina of Time, I found great Sheik and particularly in Hyrule Warriors it's cool that you can play Sheik, was needed because the figure! The figure looks great, the pose is great and the rest did not fall so negative on. The details are very well done and the processing is for the price top. Especially the eyes and the ornaments on the legs are done properly. One of the best characters! Already alone as a collective figure I find it easy top. Usual good quality Nintendo.
All in all I find are the amiibos a great idea with great potential! They are quasi Sammelfigur + small DLCs for several games. And if you're in the offer, the price is absolutely fair. I'm curious what still comes to us. Finally, would be an update for SSB, after which you can not unthinkable actually as amiibo play! :-)
