My dad's family are all weird, too! What a coincidence!
Seriously, it's not a common name so when I see it some where I get excited.

Yeah, Megaman isn't out yet. He' probably going to vanish overnight though.

Yeah that's why I jumped on the TRU thing after what Zappit said since it includes pre-orders. I grabbed Megaman, Toon Link, Ike, and Sonic. Unfortunately pre-orders on Lucario and King Dedede are already sold out. This is just going to get crazier.
Some analsysts are predicting Nintendo to make BILLIONS this year, thanks to Amiibos, and basically turning Nintendo into the most dominate force in the industry again. I'd be more excited about that if Nintendo was learning anything from it's time as the underdog.
It's not even that... Nintendo has big plans for these things. They already have plans for other games, which is more than Activision has done. It's just I don't think they'll ever do the one thing EVERYONE wants, which is to integrate these into Pokemon. Hell, they could just release generic pokeball ones to hold your team for tournaments, Stadium, or other spin-off titles...
Wii Fit Trainer appears sold out as well. I'm pre-ordering Mega Man; I had no intention of giving a shit about these things aside from being happy for Nintendo, but if I can put Mega Man into more games, bring it on. These would be a good fit for Mario Party 10. The characters in that game are all just playing pieces anyway, identical in function, so letting you insert your character of choice to play as would make sense.
Nintendo's going to make a killing not only because this idea has already proven successful in the past, but they have the most recognizable video game characters.
I can't wait for Sony to try doing this with the characters of Playstation All-Stars.

They said they won't be making any more Stadium-style games since the regular games are now in polygons, and they couldn't do every Pokemon as an Amiibo since there's 721 of them so far (and more to come in the next year or so, I expect), but the Pokeball for tournaments would be a good idea.
It's not just the characters, it's the brand. Nintendo doesn't put out shit, period. Parents know this and that they can trust the content coming from Nintendo. This is why they sell so well.
As for PSAS... that franchise is dead. They axed the studio (for some reason... it wasn't their fault the game didn't sell) and stopped supporting the game, despite future DLC in development (such as Dart from Legend of the Dragoon as a playable character).
Imagine being able to play Pokemon Mystery Dungeon with your main game characters and have them improve because of it or being able to trade a pokemon with your friend by sticking them in a pokeball and just giving it to them? Maybe it COMES with a special event pokemon when you buy it? There are a lot of things they could do with these.

That's weird. I was on TRU this morning, and pre-ordered Lucario. It does say they're out now, so maybe I'll be getting an e-mail canceling that soon. I'm hoping I just got lucky and they got more to sell for the pre-orders.

Late Monday night they were out. Tuesday morning I decided to check again and they were there so I grabbed two

So what good, crafty and sandboxy world builder type games are you guys playing? I been buying a few on Steam when they were on sale for cheap but the only one that didn't disappoint me was Planet Explorers. Which I need to start playing again to see what they have patched since last. To clarify, I prefer games that are more about building and crafting and less about PvP.

Oh boy are there ever.
It just looks like someone installed their mods wrong to me. That's what it looks like when the game tries to load human model meshes onto a horse skeleton.
You made me realize I should've made a Mega Man gelaskin instead of this Monster Hunter one I just made. Drat.
