They’re taller but less detailed
I currently have access to all of theMario Party 10amiibo, which are arriving later this month, separately from the existingSuper Smash Bros.line. To be clear, the new figures themselves are actually identical in terms of functionality, so you don’t need this specific wave to access the amiibo-centric modes.
It should be noted though that you’re able to’t save two different files at once (you’ll have to choose betweenSmashorPartyfor each figure), and Toad, who works withCaptain Toad: Teasure Tracker, is exclusive to this line. As a whole the new wave is decidedly bolder with its color scheme, evoking a classicMariofeel that I think feels better on my desk. They’re also bigger in general. With this new style change comes a distinct lack of detail though, which you’ll see immediately in the comparison shots in the gallery below (Partyon the left,Smashon the right).
My verdict? I don’t think youneedthese unless you’re a collector. Just use your existing figures and save yourSmashtraining for your non-Partycompatible amiibo. If you haven’t picked them up yet though I prefer the new line over the old figures.According to a source, they are not rare and should be readily available at launch — including Toad.
