Amiibo

Amiibo [a] ( / ə ˈ m iː b oʊ / , ə- MEE -boh ; estilizado como amiibo ; plural: Amiibo [1] ) es una plataforma de juguetes que cobran vida de Nintendo , que se lanzó en noviembre de 2014. Consiste en un protocolo de comunicaciones y almacenamiento inalámbrico para conectar figuras a las consolas de videojuegos Wii U , Nintendo 3DS y Nintendo Switch . Estas figuras son similares en forma y funcionalidad a las de las series de plataformas de juguetes que cobran vida Skylanders , Disney Infinity y Lego Dimensions . La plataforma Amiibo fue anunciada previamente para acomodar potencialmente cualquier forma de juguete, incluidos específicamente los planes generales para futuros juegos de cartas. [2] [3] Amiibo usa comunicación de campo cercano (NFC) para interactuar con el software de videojuegos compatible , lo que potencialmente permite transferir datos dentro y fuera de los juegos y en múltiples plataformas.

La funcionalidad amiibo se puede utilizar directamente con las consolas Nintendo Switch , Wii U y New Nintendo 3DS mediante el uso de lectores NFC integrados. Además, el resto de la línea de hardware 3DS puede utilizar un adaptador NFC oficial. En septiembre de 2016, Nintendo informó que se habían vendido 39 millones de figuras amiibo, junto con más de 30 millones de tarjetas amiibo. [4] En septiembre de 2022, las ventas totales alcanzaron los 77 millones de juguetes. [5]

Historia

Desarrollo

Varias figuras Amiibo

El nombre lo inventaron en Japón y la palabra "amii" proviene de un pequeño algo en francés que transmite el sentimiento de amigo, de jugar con tu amigo. Eso es lo que realmente están tratando de transmitir con él. Creo que para nosotros suena un poco como amigo. Ese no es el origen del nombre, pero transmite la intención.

— Bill Trinen , traductor de Nintendo [6]

Toys for Bob y su empresa matriz Activision habían ofrecido una oportunidad para que Nintendo fuera socio en una nueva franquicia de videojuegos conocida como Skylanders , que utilizaría figuras de personajes equipadas con RFID y un componente de lectura especial para interactuar con el juego en sí, y podría almacenar datos en la figura en sí, como las estadísticas del personaje correspondiente. Si bien Nintendo rechazó el acuerdo de exclusividad, la franquicia en sí se convirtió rápidamente en una de las franquicias más exitosas de Activision tras su lanzamiento como un spin-off de la serie Spyro the Dragon , y también resultó en la competencia de Disney Interactive Studios , que lanzó un juego con un concepto similar conocido como Disney Infinity en 2013. [7] [8]

En marzo de 2013, Nintendo presentó Pokémon Rumble U , el primer juego para Wii U que utiliza el soporte de comunicaciones de campo cercano del Wii U GamePad para permitir el uso de sus propias figuras interactivas. [9] Durante una reunión de inversores en mayo de 2014, Nintendo presentó un prototipo de una plataforma de figuras más completa para sus consolas 3DS y Wii U, que fue diseñada para que las figuras pudieran usarse en múltiples juegos. El nuevo sistema tenía el nombre en código NFP, que significa "Nintendo Figure Platform" o "NFC Featured Platform", y estaba programado para ser presentado oficialmente durante el E3 . [10]

El 10 de junio de 2014, durante el E3 2014 , Nintendo anunció oficialmente la plataforma Amiibo, y que Super Smash Bros. para Wii U sería uno de los primeros juegos en ofrecer funciones que se integren con las figuras Amiibo. [11]

En un evento de política corporativa después del lanzamiento de la plataforma Amiibo, el ejecutivo de Nintendo Shigeru Miyamoto abordó el futuro de la plataforma al afirmar que la compañía "ahora está avanzando con proyectos que hacen uso de NFC en una variedad de formas únicas. Nintendo es conocida como una empresa de videojuegos, pero de hecho, también es una empresa de juguetes". [12] [3]

Liberar

Los juguetes Amiibo de Super Smash Bros. se lanzaron por primera vez en América del Norte el 21 de noviembre de 2014, en Europa el 28 de noviembre de 2014 y en Japón el 6 de diciembre de 2014, junto con el lanzamiento de Super Smash Bros. para Wii U. [ 13] [14] [15]

La serie Super Mario , con Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Bowser y Toad, llegó el 20 de marzo de 2015 para ambas regiones. [16]

En 2015, Nintendo comenzó a ampliar la línea Amiibo en nuevos formatos; el 27 de febrero de 2015, el director ejecutivo de Nintendo, Satoru Iwata, reveló que la compañía tenía planes de lanzar tarjetas coleccionables compatibles con Amiibo. El 1 de abril de 2015, Nintendo presentó Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer , un spin-off de la serie Animal Crossing que utiliza tarjetas. Nintendo también presentó peluches de hilo Amiibo como un vínculo con Yoshi's Woolly World . [17] [18] [19]

Durante el Nintendo Direct del E3 2015 del 16 de junio de 2015, Activision reveló amiibo de Bowser y Donkey Kong (Hammer Slam Bowser y Turbo Charge Donkey Kong) y vehículos para usar en Skylanders: SuperChargers . Estos juguetes son compatibles con los juegos de Skylanders o con juegos compatibles con amiibo mediante un interruptor de modo en sus bases. Funcionarán en todas las versiones de Skylanders: SuperChargers para todas las plataformas de Nintendo . [20] [21] Los amiibo también son compatibles con todas las versiones de Skylanders: Imaginators para todas las plataformas de Nintendo .

El 27 de agosto de 2015, se presentó un juguete Amiibo del personaje titular del videojuego independiente Shovel Knight , que desbloquea contenido exclusivo para las versiones de 3DS y Wii U del juego y sus futuras entregas. Es el primer juguete Amiibo de un personaje que no es de Nintendo y que no está asociado con un título propio; los juguetes Amiibo anteriores de personajes de terceros estaban asociados con Super Smash Bros. [22] Además, la producción y distribución de la figura fue supervisada por el editor del juego, Yacht Club Games , en lugar de Nintendo (excepto en Japón, donde este último es el editor), aunque todavía es comercializado oficialmente por Nintendo como parte de la línea Amiibo como una forma de licencia de marca . Al explicar el acuerdo, un representante de Nintendo declaró que "pensamos, ¿qué es lo que Nintendo podría hacer que nadie [más] podría hacer?" [23]

La línea Amiibo para The Legend of Zelda inicialmente comenzó únicamente con la figura de Wolf Link, que se usa principalmente en The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD y más tarde Breath of the Wild . Se expandió con la colección del 30 aniversario (8-bit Link, Ocarina of Time Link, The Wind Waker Link y The Wind Waker Zelda) y la colección Breath of the Wild (Archer Link, Rider Link, Zelda, Bokoblin, Mipha, Daruk, Revali, Urbosa y la figura del Guardián). En el E3 2017 , Nintendo presentó varias figuras Amiibo nuevas, incluidas las figuras de Mario, Peach y Bowser con temática de bodas que coincidieron con el lanzamiento del juego Super Mario Odyssey para Nintendo Switch , así como las figuras de Chrom y Tiki de la serie Fire Emblem para vincularse con el lanzamiento de Fire Emblem Warriors en los sistemas Switch y New 3DS. Dos figuras Amiibo con temática de Metroid lanzadas junto con el remake de 3DS de Metroid II , Metroid: Samus Returns , y figuras lanzadas más tarde basadas en los cuatro campeones de The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild . El desarrollador de software externo Bethesda Softworks anunció que las figuras de Zelda existentes serían compatibles con el puerto de Nintendo Switch de The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim , lo que permitiría a los jugadores obtener artículos y ropa de Zelda seleccionados para su Dragonborn, incluida la Espada Maestra, el Escudo Hylian y la Túnica del Campeón de Breath of the Wild .

Cuestiones de coleccionismo y suministro

Tras su lanzamiento inicial, la línea Amiibo se hizo rápidamente popular, y los pedidos anticipados se agotaron antes de que los productos estuvieran disponibles para el público. Si bien el director ejecutivo de Nintendo, Satoru Iwata, afirmó que los amiibo se mantendrán en stock, también explicó que algunos serán "ofertas por tiempo limitado que cederán su posición a otros nuevos una vez que se agoten". [31] La rareza de ciertas figuras amiibo influyó en los precios que mantienen los minoristas y las subastas en línea, de las cuales la mayoría se puede ver ofreciendo artículos seleccionados a precios superiores al precio minorista. En el Informe de resultados financieros del tercer trimestre de Nintendo para el año fiscal que finaliza en marzo de 2015, Satoru Iwata expresó su sorpresa por dichas subastas en línea que ofrecían "precios premium" de juguetes amiibo agotados. [32] Se descubrieron varios juguetes Amiibo de la primera ola con defectos de fabricación y se vendieron a precios notablemente altos, como una figura de Samus con cañones en ambos brazos en lugar de un brazo que se vendió en eBay por US$2500 , y un defecto de la Princesa Peach con piernas faltantes que se vendió por US$25 100. [ 33] [34] [35]

El 2 de abril de 2015, cuando se estaban aceptando pedidos anticipados para el lanzamiento del 29 de mayo de la serie Super Smash Bros. Wave 4 y la serie Splatoon , el proceso de pedido anticipado en EE. UU . colapsó tanto el sitio web de GameStop como el sistema de registro en la tienda. [36] Nintendo reconoció estos problemas a principios de mayo de 2015. [37] [38] Amazon renunció a todo el proceso de pedido anticipado para esas oleadas; en su lugar, bloqueó intervalos de tiempo específicos en su fecha de lanzamiento durante los cuales estaban disponibles el Amiibo exclusivo para no minoristas y el Amiibo Silver Mario de la serie Super Mario . [39] El minorista continuó con esta práctica con su lanzamiento exclusivo del Amiibo de Palutena, así como con los lanzados el 11 de septiembre de 2015. [40] [41]

En mayo de 2015, en el Reino Unido, fue robado un camión que contenía pedidos anticipados de la edición especial de Splatoon , que incluía un amiibo raro de Inkling Squid como bono de reserva: la única forma de obtener la figura en el Reino Unido. Como resultado, Nintendo carecía de existencias para suministrar el amiibo de Inkling Squid a quienes reservaron, y ofreció en su lugar el amiibo de Inkling Girl o Inkling Boy junto con una edición estándar con un reembolso de £10 o reembolsos completos. [42] [43] [44] [45] [46] [47] [48] [49]

En respuesta a la falta de ciertos juguetes Amiibo en los Estados Unidos, Satoru Iwata explicó el 17 de febrero de 2015 que "una disputa laboral en curso en la costa oeste" ha retrasado la "descarga de carga durante los últimos seis meses", y fue la causa de las ausencias de ciertos juguetes Amiibo que se pretendía entregar antes de su lanzamiento en noviembre. [50] Tras este anuncio, los juguetes Amiibo más raros como Wii Fit Trainer, Meta Knight e Ike han estado recibiendo relanzamientos limitados en América del Norte. [51] [52] Para los EE. UU., El lanzamiento exclusivo de Best Buy de la figura Dark Pit, el minorista anunció que no aceptaría pedidos anticipados ni pedidos en línea y que el artículo estaría limitado a uno por cliente. [53] Si bien algunas fuentes de noticias como Kotaku se manifestaron a favor de la práctica de Best Buy, [54] alternativamente en respuesta a esto (y la dificultad de adquirir exclusivas de minoristas anteriores), otros, como Brian Altano, Jose Otero y Peer Schneider del podcast Nintendo Voice Chat de IGN , han alentado a los coleccionistas estadounidenses a importar estos artículos difíciles de encontrar. [55]

Soporte de hardware

La Wii U , New Nintendo 3DS , New Nintendo 2DS XL y Nintendo Switch contienen soporte NFC integrado y son compatibles con Amiibo. En Wii U, los juguetes se escanean utilizando un lector NFC contenido dentro del Wii U GamePad . La compatibilidad con Amiibo se introdujo formalmente en el firmware de las consolas entre noviembre y diciembre de 2014; estas actualizaciones agregaron un menú Amiibo al área de configuración del sistema, lo que permite a los usuarios escanear, registrar y borrar datos de los juguetes. La Nintendo Switch también cuenta con un lector NFC tanto en el Joy-Con R como en el Pro Controller . [56] [57] [58] [59] [60]

Un accesorio lector NFC independiente permite el uso de Amiibo en los modelos originales de Nintendo 3DS , 3DS XL y 2DS ; en Japón, lanzado en el "verano de 2015" y lanzado junto con Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer en América del Norte. [61] New Nintendo 3DS, New 3DS XL y New 2DS XL contienen un lector NFC integrado que utiliza la pantalla táctil (inferior).

Comunicación de datos de amiibo

Los juegos compatibles ofrecen uno de dos tipos de compatibilidad con Amiibo: la capacidad de acceder a la etiqueta NFC de un juguete Amiibo y almacenar datos, y el reconocimiento de solo lectura. Cada juguete Amiibo corresponde en gran medida a un juego específico que puede acceder a su espacio de almacenamiento, aunque algunos pueden tener múltiples juegos que pueden usarlo. Sin embargo, cada juguete Amiibo solo puede almacenar datos de un juego compatible a la vez, lo que significa que los datos deben eliminarse para usarlo con un título diferente. Por ejemplo, una figura Amiibo de Mario que contiene datos de Super Smash Bros. para Nintendo 3DS y Wii U debe tener los datos de ese juego eliminados para almacenar datos de Mario Party 10. [ 62] Muchos juegos ofrecen compatibilidad con juguetes Amiibo específicos en una base de solo lectura, lo que permite desbloquear contenido adicional en ese juego. Por ejemplo, usar ciertas figuras con Mario Kart 8 o Mario Kart 8 Deluxe desbloquea disfraces Mii basados ​​en el personaje correspondiente. Múltiples variaciones del mismo personaje ofrecen la misma compatibilidad, aunque variaciones especiales pueden desbloquear contenido único con juegos específicos. [63] Los juegos existentes de Wii U y 3DS pueden recibir actualizaciones para la funcionalidad Amiibo. [64] Debido a su esfuerzo de codesarrollo en Super Smash Bros. para Nintendo 3DS y Wii U , Bandai Namco Entertainment fue el primer editor externo en adoptar el concepto Amiibo en algunos de sus propios juegos. [65]

Lista de amiibo

La siguiente lista presenta todos los artículos NFC conocidos con la marca Amiibo, producidos originalmente en forma de figuras de personajes a partir de 2014, luego tarjetas a partir de 2015 y otros tipos en el futuro. Nintendo diseñó todos los personajes Amiibo para que fueran compatibles con todos los juegos que admiten personajes Amiibo específicos, independientemente de la línea de modelos a la que pertenezcan estos personajes; por ejemplo, las figuras de Mario de las series Super Smash Bros. y Super Mario tienen la misma funcionalidad. [66] La línea de Yoshi son muñecos blandos en lugar de figuras de plástico duro.

Actualmente hay 223 figuras Amiibo, 3 series de tarjetas Amiibo y 21 variantes señaladas en esta lista.

La siguiente es una lista de todas las tarjetas Amiibo confirmadas para la serie de juegos Animal Crossing . [169] [170] [171] Las series 1, 2, 3 y 4 constan de 100 tarjetas cada una, mientras que la Serie 5 consta de 48 tarjetas. [172] [173] Además, hay cinco tarjetas que no forman parte de ninguna serie. Después del anuncio de que New Leaf recibiría una actualización de Amiibo, se anunció una nueva serie de 50 tarjetas Animal Crossing RV más una serie adicional de 6 tarjetas basadas en personajes de Sanrio. [174] Más tarde, después de un Nintendo Direct el 23 de septiembre de 2021, Nintendo confirmó en la cuenta oficial de Twitter de Animal Crossing que se estaba produciendo una Serie 5 de tarjetas Amiibo e insinuó que podría presentar aldeanos introducidos en Animal Crossing: New Horizons , así como aldeanos que regresan. [175] La Serie 5 se lanzó el 5 de noviembre de 2021. [173]

Exclusives

In North America, Australia, and New Zealand, at launch some Amiibo were only available in selected retailers.[179][180] In Australia and New Zealand, this practice is limited to Mario (Silver Edition),[180] Dark Hammer Slam Bowser, and Dark Turbo Charge Donkey Kong[181][182] being limited to EB Games, Mario (Gold Edition) being limited to Target[180] in Australia and Mighty Ape[183] in New Zealand, Animal Crossing: New Leaf – Welcome Amiibo Sanrio Collaboration Pack and Qbby Amiibo being limited to the Official Nintendo AU/NZ eBay Store;[184][185] however, in North America it is much more widespread. Some characters, such as Villager, were originally non-exclusives, but later became exclusive to retailers during restocks.[186] Mexican video game retailer GamePlanet had Greninja, Rosalina, Ike and Palutena as exclusives at launch.[187][188]
