Even a 30 year old man can proudly display this little guy, awesome well built amiibo that definitely improves Wii U games!

A littley pricey, but the wool feel is a welcome change to the plastic/vinyl of all my other amiibos. Works great on the pad, and adds awesome element to the Yoshi Wooly World game on Wii U. Plus, look how cute pink Yoshi is!

So, like a few others, I bought this little guy to use on my Wii U. It is tiny, stays out of the way, looks cool, has an insane low power draw (as seen measured in my photo's) and only uses 1 USB port! I will definitely add to this review once I have spent some time running games from it. But the 128GB version formats to 111GB free on the Wii U. No plugging an external HDD enclosure into the wall, no more using a Y cable and 2 USB ports, no fear of a disk platter based HDD failing and me losing save data. Color me happy.

Absolutely fantastic. We have the board, and also bought the Wii Fit Board accessory for turning the thing into a virtual skateboard or snowboard--my 14 year old loves it to the point nobody else can play the game!

There's no way I can fathom to justify giving this a one star review if  you bought the right disc for your console and you actually looked at the requirements for it before you purchased it. It's one of the best things about owning a Wii and now a Wii U I've ever bought.

I'm more of an old school video gamer, especially since I'm terrible at playing the new games out.  Give me 2D and I'm happy, and with the Game Boy Player attached to my GameCube (which has been gathering dust until now), it's like having the original Nintendo or Super Nintendo!  The graphics are on par with those systems, if not better!  Imagine adding over 1,000 titles to play on your GameCube!
At first, I was worried that games might not be as visually stunning on a TV as they are on my Game Boy Advance SP, but on a 13" TV, they are wonderful!  You can choose "Soft," "Normal" and "Sharp" for display quality and it really helps keep the graphics clean and on-par with those "old school" systems.  The colors are vivid and bright and put less strain on your eyes than staring at a tiny GBA screen.
I tested a few games, including the original GB titles, GB Color and Advance.  It was like playing some of the titles again for the first time!  "Super Street Fighter II TURBO" looked fantastic on my TV, as did "Sword of Mana" and "Super Mario World 2."  Yes!  I can't wait to start playing "Golden Sun 2."
With the release of the "Classic NES" titles on the GBA, it IS just like owning the original Nintendo again, because you can play "Excitebike," "Super Mario Bros." "The Legend of Zelda" and other fabulous old school titles, all on your TV!  And the GBA has some of the best games among any platform, particularly if you're an RPG or strategy gamer, with titles like "Golden Sun" 1 & 2, "Fire Emblem," "Advance Wars" 1 & 2 and "Sword of Mana."
And, as other reviewers have mentioned, you can hook it up to your Game Boy Advance, so you can transfer game data between the two, which will come in handy with "Golden Sun."  And, at half the price of a Game Boy Advance SP, it's also better than buying two systems when you only need one.
Then, there's also the ability to hook up your GBA to the Player for head-to-head action on multi-player titles like "Super Monkey Ball."
Other companies sell similar devices, but stay away from those--they don't have the same quality and lack many of the features.  The GB Player is one of the best gaming investments I have made EVER and it's a great quality product with excellent features.  It was like buying an entirely new game console at half the price!  The GB Player alone makes the Nintendo GameCube worth buying if you don't have one.
--Note:  I had to revise my review upon testing one of the features.  I bought a GBA e-Reader yesterday after buying my fiance "Animal Crossing."  The GB Player is supposed to be compatible with the e-Reader on certain games.  Well, I've tested it and it is NOT capable of transferring data from the Player to the GC.  Not that this should have surprised me, as in order to use the Player, you need to insert the start-up disc, which you can't do if you're already playing a game.  This is a small complaint, but one that some people may have questions about.  It doesn't bother me too much, as I already own the regular GBA as well as the GBA SP, so I can still transfer data, just the old-fashioned way.
--**But potential buyers be warned!**--  If you're going to buy this in hopes of using it for this purpose--transferring data from the GB Player to your GC--you can't!  This includes data transfer for "Animal Crossing," "Mario Party" and more than likely cartridges like "Zelda."

This is tons of fun and even more fun if you're into coop gameplay. I haven't tried the online gameplay but the local with my friends is incredibly fun.

Every world is well imagined and exciting to go through. The game flows very well and team work is essential to winning!

Nintendo finally gets a way from side scrollers and gives you mini sandbox levels that are super fun. Between this and Zelda windwaker it's absolutely worth buying a wii u!

Totally recommend it and hope they make a similar game soon.

If you are a Mario fan you will love this game.  The 3D aspect is a bit different and more challenging if you are used to the side scrollers.  The new cat costume and fun couch co-op play make this a must have game for the Wii U!  For some reason, Mario never gets old!

Sheesh, when I look at how far Nintendo has come since their first "Gameboy", I am simply in awe. I love the 3ds. What's not to love about it? If you are a true, hardcore Nintendo/Super Mario fan, this is an obvious must by! Even for people who aren't hard core Nintendo fans will love this! I got the flame red color and it's really pretty! I love the sparkles in the red coloring :) Anyways, a handheld gaming system that not only does 3D viewing and plays awesome games, but it streams netflix, goes online and takes pictures!? To my iPad: you have a new fierce competitor in the family!!! ;) Really a fun addition to any gamer's collection. Buy it for yourself, you won't regret it. Buy it as a gift, they will love you forever.

This thing is perfect! Look what you can make with it! All you people crying saying it's flimsy and can't hold amibos? You're wild! I have world of Nintendo action figures balanced on them! Hahah this thing is sweet! I'm going g to probably buy another !

At first I wasn't really excited for the wii u because they weren't that many games that interested me at the time.  But as soon as I saw games getting announced like crazy I was like shure I'll probably get it now.  I was always an huge Nintendo fan anyways so it wasn't a problem with me!

The wii u plays all my Wii games flawlessly and it even gives the old Wii games deeper colors thanks to the hdmi.

All in all I would recommend this to any gamer looking for the next generation in gaming and also is a fan of 1st party Nintendo games

Glad I got one of these before they sold out! Game is amazing of course, if youve played Smash Bros before then you should know what to expect from this one. Graphics are really nice in HD now. The Gamecube controller is exactly like it was back in the day only the cable is much longer!

Zero Suit Samus was my first amiibo and it's super nice. No obvious seams anywhere and the coloring/detail is fantastic.
Only thing I would mention is that her hands are a bit chubby probably due to manufacturing processes and durability issues.
Still looks amazing.

I love, love this. The design is subtle and not childlike so that this 55 year old game geek doesn't mind carrying it and playing it anywhere. I love the fact that it has a design on it without buying a cover and I love Animal Crossing so that makes it even better. The game itself is awesome!!!!! The new content makes the game just that much more entertaining for young and old alike. My daughter is so jealous she can hardly stand it, lol. She will get hers in time, maybe her hubby will get it for her. But overall, this is just an exceptional package and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone.

The old Nintendo magic is on full display in Super Mario 3D World.  There is a huge variety of level designs here; there is never a dull moment and even the over-hyped cat suit power-up never outwears its welcome.  Controls are simple enough for children (the game can be played with just two buttons and the D-pad) but never feel lacking for adults.  Also, there is a very wide range of input devices supported so most will already have enough various controls knocking about to be able to play 4 player multiplayer.  Levels requiring use of the Gamepad are few in number but feel natural rather than tacked on or gimmicky.  Mario and his pals have NEVER looked so good and this is one of the first titles that really proves that the Wii U is a capable "Next Gen" system.  Replay value is also high as you try to get obtain every green star and stamp in every level and uncover every secret.  Multiplayer co-op is also a thrill as players will find themselves competing for the highest score in each level and the subsequent privilege of wearing the crown in the next level... and then they can fight over a dropped crown during play.  Right now, I'd love to highlight some "Cons" of this title but I just cannot think of any.  This is not hyperbole when I say that Super Mario 3D World may be the greatest 3D platformer ever released and easily worth the full retail price.

i was super impressed, and he's a little bit bigger then i initially though but that means there's more of the amiibo to love

This is as high of quality as an amiibo can get. It's up there with the Breathe of the Wild line.

My parents bought this for my brother for Christmas, and he absolutely loved it! He named his Pikachu "Ashachu" after a Pokmon: Jonto Leauge episode. It leveled quickly, and is one of his best amiibos. I got his Yoshi, "Birdo", and he bought himself Link (Half A Hero), Samus (Sammy), and Zelda (Hylia). Love them!
