I saw this on Amazon.ca and it made me smile. Nintendo may march to their own drummer and do some silly things but when they hot they hot!

The top 20 items in their videogames section is populated almost solely with Amiibos, Smash Bros, Pokemon and Captain Toad. There are a PS4 bundle, Xbone controller and Let's Puke Dance in there too but we'll ignore those. Here's the current top 18.

It's like I told my bf, Nintendo was gonna have a comeback and the Wii U would pick up speed. They just needed time.

I'd buy some Amiibos just to have them.

I was thinking the same thing. They'd make great collectibles and with no little kids in the house any more they'd stay that way. :)

For all the complaints I've heard about the quality of the amiibos, I think they look pretty darn good. I want the Diddy Kong one. King Dedede is pretty cool too.

Good to see Nintendo doing so well right now. As for the figures, I'd probably get either Bowser or King Dedede. Either that or get my brother the Captain Falcon one because he likes the character so much.

I have no clue what an amiibo is. I am so behind the times.

They're like Skylanders only for Nintendo games and you use the touchpad to launch them.

Just what I won't be getting into. I do not need any more little things to clutter up my living space.

but you can place them around a table and have tea parties with them. Oh the fun. Mario, would you like some more tea? Peach sit up straight and take you elbows off the table. What's that Toad? When am I going to let you go home? Well that would be NEVER! Muwahahahaha.... Sorry, what was I talking about again?

Thank goodness I am not into games that need the little figures like Amiibos, and Skylanders, and only dabbled a bit in Disney Infinity. Props to Nintendo for getting into that market because just seeing how the World of Nintendo figures took off, these were guaranteed to move.

I hate being so biased toward Nintendo, but they're doing so much that I like right now.

You're not being biased. They're doing stuff you like that the other two aren't.

Tami hit the nail on the head. Nintendo does fun. Cary likes fun therefore Cary likes what Nintendo is doing. It's a simple equation. (Sorry about the equation thing, I know you hate math)

I knew the Wii U would be a good bargain. i'm going to get one this december.

Now, let's wait till Polygon digs their own hole deeper by still proclaiming that Nintendo is doomed :P

Next year will be huge, too. Kirby, Splatoon, Yoshi's Wolly World, Xenoblade X, and Zelda U.

Get your favorites on the Amiibos. Nintendo already said that they will be discontinuing the unpopular ones in the future. (poorly made wind sounds)
