Nintendo - amiibo Figure (Super Smash Bros. Series Ness) - Red/Blue/Yellow/Black

This is a must for any SSB fan and the detail is great. Train him and have fun my friends.

Overall Ness is very well done. His design is simple enough to where it’s easier to see. That he got a lot of love and care put into his Amiibo. If there’s any Earthbound/Mother fans looking for a new collectible to add. And if you just love Ness as a Smash character. This is definitely a great choice.

I didn’t ply Earthbound until the SNES Classic and I loved it when I did. So when I saw this Amiibo available I was ecstatic and had to grab it. Happy to say it’s very cool and neat looking!

The amiibo purchased works very well. Can be used on the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS XL and Nintendo 2DS XL systems. If you want to use the amiibo with any of the Nintendo 3DS and 2DS systems, you need to purchase the adapter separately. The amiibos unlock items in games that are compatible. The Nintendo websites (and also websites associated with their respective games) always give detailed information about amiibos and their unlockable features.

I visited Best Buy later in the day on the day of the major restock, and was surprised to see none on the floor. A helpful employee went in the back and got the ones I'd asked for (they just hadn't put them out yet). Earthbound is a series I greatly enjoy, and one that rarely has any sort of merchandise (even the games) that's either available in the US or not extremely expensive. Lucas' amiibo was quite easy to get, but the stock of Ness amiibo ran dry real quickly. I was surprised to see him reprinted, but thankful nonetheless. The model still suffers from slightly too big eyes like the initial run did, but the figure still looks great. The design for the box is very aesthetically pleasing and looks great with the others.

I wish that Nintendo made funkos! My SO loves Ness, so I wanted to get this for them as decoration. Since I could not find anything, I bought this. It was great because they already had 3ds super smash, so it doubles as a cure desk ornament, and they use in the game too.

I don’t usually buy Amiibos for their in game functions, but just because they are great little statues of characters from games that have endeared themselves to me over the years. Earthbound is one such game, and I love this cute, little, high quality representation of Ness (or any of the ridiculous names I’ve given him in my multiple play-throughs over the years.) Welcome home buddy!

Amiibo is the most recent product in the same vein of toys as Skylanders and Disney Infinity figures. All three brands are figures made to look like in-game characters which are then attached to a base that hides a Near Field Communication chip. Placing these figures onto a type of scanner allows the chips, and any data saved to them, to be read and used in a compatible game. This ness amiibo is excellent. Great pose and colors. I like the fact that he is a bit shorter than other amiibos since he is indeed a young child, but the detail in the figure is truly excellent. Any earthbound fan would be pleased.
