Super Mario Maker

According to Bulbapedia, "All currently released Pokémon amiibo have been confirmed to be compatible with Super Mario Maker." 84.26.240.80 13:58, 29 July 2015 (EDT)

Other wikis are not source enough. I'd like to see something from a Nintendo source. Miles (talk) 14:51, 29 July 2015 (EDT)

Mario amiibo

The amiibo webiste was updated this morning, and the Super Smash Bros. series Mario amiibo is under the figures that unlock new costumes, so listing it under there as "Gives a new mode would be inaccurate. Only the 30th anniversary Mario makes you big CRT Mario. --NintendoNinjaCarson (talk) 18:11, 12 August 2015 (EDT)

Bowser Jr. IS exclusive to Toys R Us, Dr. Mario is most likely exclusive to Target, Duck Hunt/Game & Watch/R.O.B. are exclusive to Gamestop in a 3-pack

Buuuuuut we don't have "official" confirmation yet. The Bowser Jr. info comes from an incredibly reputable Toys R Us employee, who also told us about Greninja exclusivity, gave us the link to pre-orders early on ToysRUs.com, gave us info about which Wave 4 amiibo weren't in the Toys R Us system (allowing us to deduce that there were three exclusives), and gave us info about the Splatoon three-pack before anyone else. I think it's safe to say that they're pretty reputable.

That said, they're still not an official source, so I don't really think it's worth noting, yet. Dr. Mario is not in the Toys R Us system, whereas he is at Target, so he's also most likely an exclusive. Several Gamestop employees have discreetly leaked the three-pack exclusivity to a mod of /r/amiibo, again, none of those amiibo show up in the Toys R Us system, nor the Target system. Once again, none of this comes from official sources, but it's most likely true. Laikue (talk | contribs) 21:23, 2 August 2015 (EDT)

"Most likely true" is not good enough. Better to report it accurately when it's confirmed for real. Miles (talk) 21:48, 2 August 2015 (EDT)
That said, they're still not an official source, so I don't really think it's worth noting, yet I know, that's why I said this. I'm just letting you know since you said you couldn't find any reason why he'd edit that in. Laikue (talk | contribs) 01:04, 3 August 2015 (EDT)
Here's a source. Aidanzapunksignature.pngAidan, Master of Speed and AuraAidanzapunkSignaturesmall.PNG 23:22, 3 August 2015 (EDT)
Source is reddit, so we're back to square one. The legitimacy of that sheet of paper was called into question by the leakers as well, as no one was told to do those and there are no "official" Gamestop markings on it. Laikue (talk | contribs) 23:27, 3 August 2015 (EDT)
Link I have says the preorder event is this Saturday, so I guess we wait until then? Idk Aidanzapunksignature.pngAidan, Master of Speed and AuraAidanzapunkSignaturesmall.PNG 23:29, 3 August 2015 (EDT)

Shovel Knight?

I know something like this would normally go over here, but I figured it'd be appropriate to being this up here. Discuss. Aidanzapunksignature.pngAidan, Master of Speed and AuraAidanzapunkSignaturesmall.PNG 12:41, 22 August 2015 (EDT)
