Rover amiibo - Nintendo Wii U

Nothing much to say about this one. I just always liked rover and his friendly attitude.

Arrived in pristine condition.

Perfect for the amiibo fan in your family!

I dont own the Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival game. I love the main series of games so much that I couldnt pass up paying around $4 for an Animal Crossing collectible.

Exactly what you would expect from an amiibo. The ears are SUPER pointy, like a ridiculous amount. You could legitimately get hurt from how pointy these ears are. Keep away from small children.

Ive probably played way more Animal Crossing: New Leaf than is healthy for a human, but part of the reason is theyve been making neat little changes to the game. One of those is the introduction of these little Amiibo. This is the Rover Amiibo. Like the other Amiibo, its adorable, and heres how it works: 1) At some point after the Animal Crossing Welcome Amiibo update to your game, youll hear a voice calling out to you. Follow that voice and eventually youll find an Aladdin-styled Genie lamp on the ground. Pick it up and take it home. 2) Put the lamp out somewhere in your home and click on it. A spirit will pop out who says he can possess various characters in the game, if you have their Amiibo. Youll be prompted to set the Amiibo on the touchscreen (and youll want to have Wireless/NFC turned on). 3) The spirit will appear looking like the Amiibo character. If you choose Lets hang out!, hell then possess them and make them leave their job and go hang out in the campground. When this happens, you can go visit them in their RV and buy things from them. Be aware this also means theyll be away from their posts! Because this spirit has possessed them and convinced them to go take the day off. For Rover, that doesnt mean much since Ive only ever seen him twice--once when my game started and once when the Welcome Amiibo update was applied. Things return to normal the next day. This makes a cute and fun add-on to the Animal Crossing game. Its just a shame that Nintendo limits every Amiibo to specific individual titles--it would be more fun if you could use them across multiple games.

love it for my game

Despite trying to resist when they first came out, I succumbed to the Amiibo bug and bought several across various Nintendo series. I love Animal Crossing, and when the AC Amiibo started coming out, they were hard to resist. I think both Nintendos manufacturing for the characters has gotten better than the first gen Smash Bros. and the simple Animal Crossing characters seem to lend themselves to the toys. I got both Blathers and Tom Nook, and told myself I was done with AC Amiibo, but between Animal Crossing New Leafs Amiibo update, and the price drop for Timmy and Tommy (in their cute Japanese apron outfits - I wish Tom Nook came in that outfit, rather than his realtor sweater) it was hard to say no. Certainly, compared to some of the Smash Amiibo which work across many games, the AC Amiibo are a little more limited (to basically Animal Crossing New Leaf, Happy Home Designer, and Amiibo Festival), but part of the joy is getting to own physical versions of your favorite characters. And in that, Im super happy I got this Amiibo.

Perfect as described new in box! The packaging came slightly bent as a warning to serious collectors! No damage to the item I wanted!

Thank you great purchase, item was exactly as described, works great
