Removed gold edition from table

Yesterday, I removed the gold edition Mario from the table as it is merely an alternate version of the Super Mario series Mario amiibo. The only difference between the two is one is gold and one isn't. A footnote is sufficient to document the former's existence. Thegreyanomaly (talk) 16:30, 13 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently, the Gold Edition has unique functionality in Mario Party 10: http://mynintendonews.com/2015/03/21/sounds-like-there-is-a-special-perk-for-using-gold-mario-amiibo-in-mario-party-10/ If someone can confirm this, it might be a good idea to readd it to the table.178.4.9.149 (talk) 18:56, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
All other games will only see it as regular mario, so probably nothing special on the table, only have to use an existing note and write about Gold Mario's additional functionality with MP10. Rukario-sama ^ㅈ^ -(...) 10:32, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
On second thought, by adding notes about Gold Mario's additional functionaily in MP10, it may be violating WP:GAMECRUFT. Rukario-sama ^ㅈ^ -(...) 05:52, 7 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yarn Yoshi citations?

The Japanese amiibo page (http://www.nintendo.co.jp/amiibo/lineup/) indicates that the Yarn Yoshis will act like the plastic Yoshis for other games, but I see no citations to indicate the plastic Yoshis will work for Wooly World. Can anyone produce one? Thanks! Thegreyanomaly (talk) 02:18, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You are right. According to Nintendo of Europe, only Yarn Yoshi will be compatible with Yoshi's Woolly World, while other Yoshis won't.
Yarn: http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Misc-/amiibo/Figures/Green-Yarn-Yoshi-980847.html
Smash: http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Misc-/amiibo/Figures/Yoshi-932510.html
Super Mario: http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Misc-/amiibo/Figures/Yoshi-951727.html
I've removed the normal Yoshi from the series specific table for now.178.4.9.149 (talk) 06:29, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I also noticed that they didn't confirm compatibility with One Piece on the Japanese site: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/amiibo/lineup/yaaa/index.html So I wonder if we should change it to not compatible on the table. Maybe it's because the Yarn Yoshi has a different NFC ID than regular Yoshi and the game doesn't recognize him as being Yoshi without an update (if true, maybe the Nintendo developed games like Smash, MP10 and Mario Kart already have the Yarn ID implemented, either since the beginning or via update)? Or they simply forgot to add it on all three Yarn Yoshi pages... Then again, the Japanese site doesn't even list compatibility with Yoshi's Woolly World yet, unlike the European one.88.69.118.238 (talk) 00:10, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wave 6 is not a thing!

The table wave numbering is North America-centric, which is a problem for various reasons including neutrality issues. NOA decided to release this wave with a one month gap in between the 5A and 5B, but hat does not make them separate waves. They are being released drastically earlier and closer together in other regions, and thus this table should just refer to them all as Wave 5 [1] [2]. Thegreyanomaly (talk) 20:54, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Are we supposed to list the characters that aren't yet confirmed?

Someone have added many Animal Crossing characters in the second table with images in the source and another one added notes about them not yet confirmed. Isn't that WP:CRYSTAL? Rukario-sama ^ㅈ^ -(...) 21:02, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm all for removing them as long as these characters haven't been shown in card form or have been otherwise confirmed to receive Amiibo cards. I just didn't want to start an editing war by removing them and someone else constantly adding them back.88.69.118.238 (talk) 21:13, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

the images where off on West/JAP nintendo direct that somebody print-screen it and uploaded on the site, you may remove it if the source not good enough User: Aozz101x (talk) edited: somebody did not look good enough the tom nook one is confirmed File:Tomnookcardimag.jpeg

Nice find, I'd be fine with Tom Nook one and others that was seen in Amiibo card form. Who took screenshots of gameplay? And how do they relate to having characters on the table? Rukario-sama ^ㅈ^ -(...) 22:39, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You are right, I missed that one. That card wasn't shown by Mr. Shibata in the EU direct, so I didn't think about what might have been shown by Iwata in the JP direct. Would it be a good idea to remove the other characters from the table and add a note about them appearing in the trailer shown in the Nintendo Direct, although not in card form?88.69.118.238 (talk) 22:47, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's odd to add a note about them featuring in the Nintendo Direct while having nothing to do with Amiibo in general. This article is for Amiibo. Rukario-sama ^ㅈ^ -(...) 23:23, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
According to Mr. Shibata, the point of this new Animal Crossing game is to scan an Amiibo card to decorate a character's room and then scan other cards to invite these characters to that room. So it is likely that the characters shown in the trailer will receive cards at some point, just not confirmed. By mentioning them in the note we could point out that these shown characters are likely to receive Amiibo cards in the future.88.69.118.238 (talk) 23:39, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your explanation, I couldn't listen what they were saying in the Nintendo Direct because I'm deaf actually. I giuess it's fine to make notes about the possibility of them having Amiibo cards in the future, and explain how did you know they will have one. I'm not sure if this will violate WP:CRYSTAL still. Rukario-sama ^ㅈ^ -(...) 23:52, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry to hear that. I couldn't find the European one with Shibata, but this video taken from the American direct with Bill Trinen has automatically generated subtitles that you can turn on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVlTsS8Iu9E Of course they are not perfect, but I think you will be able to understand what he says most of the time.
One problem I have is that we don't know what content the game has without using cards. Maybe there are other possibilities to decorate and invite animals than scanning cards that we don't know about and thus maybe not every animal in the trailer will receive a card in the end. But it might be better to wait for more opinions before changing everything.88.69.118.238 (talk) 00:35, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I also don't understand why we're listing Mewtwo and Lucas as future amiibo. I haven't heard this, and there isn't a source that I can see. Sure, they're DLC fighters but then we haven't heard they are releasing amiibo for DLC fighters. If you think listing them is fine, surely we should list other fighters without an amiibo like Game and Watch, ROB or Duck Hunt Duo. They're more likely to release them, actually, even though we haven't heard anything which confirms it.Baker1000 (talk) 17:04, 22 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Iwata confirmed them in the latest Nintendo Direct presentation (EU version): "Rest assured, we'll also be releasing amiibo of Mewtwo and Lucas sometime in the future." http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Misc-/Nintendo-Direct/Latest-Nintendo-Direct/Nintendo-Direct-698557.html (@ 6:45).88.69.118.238 (talk) 21:04, 22 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Right. Well then, that should be on the article as a source. Baker1000 (talk) 17:02, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Mention or section about the supplies?

I think there should be some mention, be it in the release section or its own new one (reception?) about the quick sells, rarity and short supplies. Many news pieces and editorials from both gaming and non-gaming press seem to lead with this in any article about amiibos currently. Frankly Man (talk) 11:52, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There should be, but it should focus on the SSB stock issues. A good chunk of the SSB series amiibo have faced serious stock issues; however, the SM series (minus Gold Mario) don't really have supply issues (Toad is hard to find, but it is not permanently out stock), and we do not know how the Yarn Yoshis or Splatoon figures will play out. Thegreyanomaly (talk) 18:38, 18 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Separate table for games with universal (read only) Amiibo support

I would like to move games like Hyrule Warriors, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, amiibo tap: Nintendo's Greatest Bits and Girls Mode 3: Kira Kira Code which have read only support for every Amiibo figure to a smaller, separate table. The main table is already cluttered (imo) and removing those games would make space for potential future titles with assorted support.88.69.118.238 (talk) 20:18, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I just made the change. Please let me know if you're not happy with it.88.69.118.238 (talk) 22:44, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Addition and Re-edited of Wave 5 & 6

Hello. I am just wondering about if you guys would edit this page to add that some of the amiibo figurines, which some are in Wave 5 and some of them are Wave 6. Not all of them are Wave 5. And as well as editing to say that Wave 5 is expected to arrive in July and Wave 6 in September. Nintendo of Europe announced release dates for them as well. Dark Pit and Palutena from Wave 5, and Gandondorf and Zero Suit Samus from Wave 6 will be released in Europe on June 26th. The rest of Wave 6-- Bowser Jr., Dr. Mario and Olimar-- will be released on July 17th.

Thanks in advance!

Zacharyalejandro (talk) 04:45, 23 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Zacharyalejandro, there is no Wave 6. There is a Wave 5, which is divided into 5A and 5B (with the contents of each varying between regions). As this article (and the rest of Wikipedia) is bound to keep a neutral point of view. We cannot favor the wave groupings of one region vs. another, so we need to just call them all Wave 5 even though they span a long range of time. Thegreyanomaly (talk) 00:51, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Functionality?

The introduction says that Amiibos are similar in functionality to skylanders or Disney infinity figurines. However, except the fact that they can store data, there are no similarities. Skylanders figurines unlock the corresponding character in-game, that the player controls directly as the game's main character. Disney infinity figurines behave in the same way.

Amiibos have no in-game functionality per-se. They cannot be used as characters or controlled in any way. In Smash Bros. the character they represent are available to play with/against, whether you own the figurine or not, and the items they can collect can be obtained by the player without the use of an Amiibo as well. In Mario kart, their sole use is to unlock a costume for Mii characters, which has no impact on gameplay.

I feel comparing them is misleading. 198.103.167.20 (talk) 18:46, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's a real-life toy that interacts with video games. Precisely how that's used depends on the game, but that basic functionality is more or less the same. Wonchop (talk) 16:31, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think Falco is Wave 5

I am trying to parse out how Wave 5 works, so we are using a definition that is globally consistent to avoid violating WP:NPOV (i.e., an amiibo is part of the same wave number all around the world, but not necessarily the same wave sub-letter).

  • In Japan/Europe,
    • 5A is Dark Pit, Ganondorf, Palutena, and ZSS - released in June
    • 5B is Bowser Jr., Dr. Mario, and Olimar - released in July
    • 5C is Duck Hunt, the three Miis, G&W, and R.O.B. - released in September
  • In North America,
    • 5A is Dark Pita nd Palutena - released in July
    • 5B is Bowser Jr., Dr. Mario, Olimar, Duck Hunt, the three Miis, G&W, and R.O.B. - released in September

All we know about Falco anywhere is that he is coming during the Holiday season. Most of Wave 4 was announced in January, and then Jigglypuff and Greninja were tacked on in April [3][4]. It seem pretty clear the Falco is in this ball too, and we can't call everything Wave 5. Per WP:BOLD, I am marking Falco as Wave 6. Thegreyanomaly (talk) 03:17, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Chicken008, please stop edit-warring on this issue. If you have a dissenting opinion, please voice it. The fact of the matter is that nowhere on the planet is Falco being released at the same time as something we refer to as SSB Wave 5, thus it does not compute to call it Wave 5. Thegreyanomaly (talk) 16:11, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Any other frequent editors to this page (e.g., arbitrarily copied from the 100 edits in the history: Rukario-sama, ViperSnake151, Hope(N Forever), Wonchop, Arkhandar, Smuckola, Deathawk, Ost316 (sorry if I missed anyone)) have opinions on the matter? Thegreyanomaly (talk) 16:16, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Why does the wave need to be listed at all at this time? Shouldn't we wait until a reliable source names the wave? What's wrong with "TBD" like the other entries? From the breakdown above, it sound like waves are becoming less encyclopedic, especially since the article doesn't do much to explain what a wave is or how they vary across regions. Sorting the table by series and wave also hides that waves span months and can overlap other releases; it might be better for the table to include release dates for each region, rather than waves. —Ost (talk) 16:37, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • The deal is reliable sources use the wave nomenclature, and amiibo do not have hard release dates like most other Nintendo products. I remember Waves 2 and 3 did not street dates, so vendors sold non-preordered stock right as they arrived. Thegreyanomaly (talk) 16:51, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        • Is lack of official street dates a huge problem? Sources should show when the first stock arrived (at least approximately); that's the release date. Also, it's not a problem if reliable sources use the wave nomenclature; that doesn't necessitate that we must use it, especially unexplained. But, if we're being so dogged about using what sources say, then we should not make one up for Falco. I'm going to point this discussion out to WP:VG; I'm really only a casual editor to this page. —Ost (talk) 19:47, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It's better to label Falco amiibo as "Wave TBD" (like what Ost said, why not.) as we aren't sure which wave number to label him as. And for the release dates in the table, I've already talked about it in the past (in this talk page) and I've already said that it isn't good idea (the table height will explode when adding the release dates from other regions). I don't think the readers will mind if they couldn't sort the table back to exactly what it was before. But if they HAD to, just reload the page in their browser...
There were release dates in the table in earlier version of the article, but were replaced with the wave number for the another reason I've said earlier. The release dates in the table were having issues with other regions. I'm sure you already know that adding the release dates from other regions into the table would be bad idea. That's where I came up with, replacing them with wave numbers. The "Release" section in the article can append the release dates from various regions to a wave number pretty well. The multiple characters in the table have similar release dates, so append them with wave numbers made sense.
In the early edit, the wave numbers were originated from http://www.reddit.com/r/amiibo/wiki/rarity. Interestingly though, no mention of Falco in there. In the history page I've noticed him removed from the table presumably because they couldn't be able to determine the wave number for him. I've also noticed that lately there are different wave number for some characters than here. More specifically, there are six fighters belonging to Wave 6. I am aware that we shouldn't take information from another wiki sites as a reliable source, but what's the better solution?
Anyway, let's label Falco as "Wave TBD" for the time being. Rukario-sama ^ㅈ^ -(...) 20:23, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Personally, I don't "know that adding the release dates from other regions into the table would be bad idea"; we do this for video games and it seems prudent for WP:COMPREHENSIVEness. The only problem I foresee is table size.
More importantly, we shouldn't be using reddit as a source, especially when Thegreyanomaly says that reliable sources use the terminology. If there are reliable sources for wave definitions, they need to be cited in the article; any Amiibo grouped into a wave should have corresponding reliable sources to support that classification. The "better solution" to using reddit is to ignore the wave information if reliable information isn't too be found; that seems prefered to making up information or repeating made-up information. —Ost (talk) 20:50, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have seen the Reddit page as well as the SSBWiki amiibo page (http://www.ssbwiki.com/Amiibo) wave notation. The problem with Reddit is that it is claiming in North America Wave 5B and 6 release at the same time to avoid calling it Wave 6 in Japan/Europe. The problem with SSBWiki notation is North America-centric and following their waves here would violate Wikipedia's NPOV standard. For waves 1-4, just searching IGN or Kotaku or other sources you can find the definition of waves easily. For example, IGN first described Wave 4 in January and then Jigglypuff/Greninja were tacked on in April (and the beginning of Wave 5 was defined at the same time) [5][6][7].

  • In terms of Reliable Sources regarding the amiibo announced Sunday: On my Google news searches, I cannot find anything calling the amiibo announced on Sunday as "Wave 6". However, just looking at the release dates, since the amiibo announced Sunday for September are (in North America) contemporary with what has already been called Wave 5, they should be called Wave 5 as well. In regards to Falco, who is currently on his own, I agree that Wave TBD is the most logical solution for now. Thegreyanomaly (talk) 21:32, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ost, it's already WP:COMPREHENSIVE considering the "Release" section in the article. Replacing the waves with the release dates in the table will feel massively duplicated because characters got similar release dates.

I realized that "wave" is most likely originated from unreliable sources, and the reliable ones just happen to use that definition, and yet it still doesn't feel encyclopedic. If we go ahead to a chaotic solution, by replacing them with the release dates to the table while complete disregarding its height size, then the term "wave" can go. But wait, come to think of it, does the release dates for every Amiibo, matter? I thought, if we only use the earliest release dates for each Amiibo series (in "Release" section) and then drop the wave nomenclature once for all, it is another chaotic solution but will do well for Wikipedia. Rukario-sama ^ㅈ^ -(...) 12:25, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

About the comprehensiveness, I just meant that it couldn't be centered around one region; I didn't explain that well, but thegreyanomaly mentions it above. I understand that a number of release dates would overlap, but the release section could discuss them or the table could contain footnotes or symbols for the dates to take up less space. That being said, I was suggesting the release dates because it was what was being approximated by the waves; I'm ok with the way it is now if there's consensus that those details aren't notable, and it will probably keep the size of the article in check. —Ost (talk) 13:34, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed Rukario-sama already revamped the table, but I was going to suggest that we keep the waves in and then we have a separate table outlining the release dates for all series/waves in the four major regions. Thegreyanomaly (talk) 15:44, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Skylanders

The Skylanders cross over figures work with more than just the Wii U version, which seems to come with Donkey Kong and his vehicle. The Wii version and the 3DS version both come with Bowser.

If you look at the amiibo lineup page on nintendo.com, you'll notice that every exclusive amiibo has the disclaimer "at launch" on their individual sites, so I doubt that Dr. Mario is special in that regard. How reliable is that IGN list and who maintains that? If it's done by their users, then it isn't anymore reliable than Wikipedia itself and they do not list sources for the exclusives. 88.68.179.202 (talk) 21:17, 21 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Split

I think that the Amiibo#List of Amiibo-branded NFC items section has gotten pretty large. At this point the list seems to be the main focus of the article, which it really shouldn't be. I'm proposing it be split off into a separate list article so that this article can focus on the development and reception of Amiibo. --The1337gamer (talk) 11:42, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I was just thinking the same thing. It isn't imminently necessary per WP:TOOBIG, but it's certainly heading that way, so may as well sooner or later... Sergecross73 msg me 14:36, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Anyone who use WP:TOOBIG as an argument, please make note that this article mainly consists of table codes and other wiki markups that inflate the page size. See notes in WP:TOOBIG. I'd say come back when the page size is at ~100kB. Rukario-sama ^ㅈ^ -(...) 01:24, 23 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that it should be split. Not because of file size or whatever (although I can definitely see it going that way), but because the lists take up a lot of the article, to the point where they, like The1337Gamer says, become the main focus.--IDVtalk 02:20, 23 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I wouldn't split them just yet. We're just about halfway to the 100kb, so there's a lot of room for site growth, still. If you think the lists take all the attention away from the main written article, then why not hide them? This way they wouldn't immediately draw the readers' attention to them, just because of their big size. 88.68.179.202 (talk) 07:34, 23 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support, I do feel that a List of Amiibo figures or something along those lines would be appropriate, and actually came here to suggest it myself after this article being mentioned on the Wikiproject's talk page. Notability shouldn't be an issue, looking at the huge amount of news articles covering new waves and releases. It might not be incredibly huge, but I do feel it takes up so much space the scope of the article comes into question: this is currently both an article and a list. ~Mable (chat) 17:47, 5 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Further discussion

  • Okay, I'll try to make this as clear as possible. First, ViperSnake151 splits the article without joining the discussion and consensus being reached. And now, after moving all of the characters and other tables to the other article, they want to have the "Games with series specific Amiibo support", which is a character specifc support table, and "Games with universal Amiibo support (read only)" on this article as well. They state that "support is crucial" and to that I responded that supported games are already listed in their own, dedicated section and that character specific support is not needed here (anymore), because there's no character list to go along with it. What sense does it make to have only a fraction of the amiibo compatibility here and all of that plus the rest on the other article? E.g. how are readers supposed to know compatible Amiibo for Smash, Mario Kart 8, Mario Maker etc. from reading this article? And as an aside, a lot of ref junk that was leftover from the split and is producing cite errors, which I've therefore removed two times already, is being re-added constantly by the above two users. 88.68.179.202 (talk) 17:51, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I apologies earlier on revert, i thought the IP did something wrong, and so that why i undid what the IP user was doing, User: Aozz101x (talk)

As there was no consensus for the split, I undid the split. This behavior is unacceptable on Wikipedia. There was no consensus. You can't split a page without consensus. Thegreyanomaly (talk) 23:16, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support the split. Pages should fill a single purpose, per simple and effective design philosophy. We already make separate pages for lists of TV episodes. Why change policy for Amiibo? — Asgardiator Iä! Iä! 21:07, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
If the page were split, most of the content would be lost from this page. The section on "Collectibility and supply issues" would logically have to go to the list article as it specifically references individual amiibo/waves. We would have a list and a stubstart. That would be irresponsible. There is not enough content here to merit such a split. There is no logical rationale behind supporting the split. Thegreyanomaly (talk) 22:38, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
What you just wrote is load of rubbish. You should read Wikipedia:WikiProject_Video_games/Assessment. This revision with the list removed is not even close to a stub: [8]. The article would retain C class if reassessed with the list removed. --The1337gamer (talk) 22:58, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I should have said start instead of stub then. That revision includes "Collectibility and supply issues", which would be more fitting on the list page (if the page were to be split). Thegreyanomaly (talk) 23:07, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The "Collectibility and supply issues" section is fine on this article. It falls under the scope of "Amiibo" so does not warrant removing. It also would not be fitting on the list page. The list article should be focussed on actually listing the amiibo rather than including lengthy prose explaining tangential topics. --The1337gamer (talk) 23:15, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Not true, if the page were split, this page would have to be about the concept of amiibo, not individual amiibo. That section pertains to specific amiibo, not all amiibo (i.e., some amiibo are extremely easy to find). Thegreyanomaly (talk) 23:49, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree, this revision: [9] is completely fine as is. The list isn't necessary to understand the "Collectibility and supply issues" section. It is okay to refer to specific amiibo on noteworthy topics. The list content isn't needed or really pertinent to understand the rest of the article. --The1337gamer (talk) 23:57, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Disagree. It makes no sense to reference rare amiibo if the page does not cover what amiibo are out there. Anyways, I am not responding again until someone else chimes in (a back and forth is pointless) Thegreyanomaly (talk) 00:04, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The sentence in question is as follows:

The rarity of certain Amiibo influenced the prices...

This sentence is comprehensible on its own. Replace "Amiibo" with something like "precious gems" or "subvarieties of postage stamps" if you like; the core idea is simple enough. The main page does not need to detail individual Amiibo. If there are no further objections, I propose a formal vote on the split. — Asgardiator Iä! Iä! 00:21, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, voting isn't quite how things are typically handled here. An WP:RFC and/or alerting WP:VG for more discussion could definitely be done if we can't get to a consensus though. Sergecross73 msg me 00:47, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Aha, so it is. Well, let's wait a day or two and see if any more contentions arise. As it stands, opinion seems to lean toward split. — Asgardiator Iä! Iä! 00:55, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
