We found out yesterday that Mario Sports Superstars for the Nintendo 3DS will launch on March 24th and will support amiibo cards. An eagle eyed Redditor has noticed that the art for certain cards has been reused from past Nintendo games.
The Bowser card is of Bowser breakdancing from Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix. This was a 2005 GameCube title.
And the Mario’s pitching pose is taken from art in Wii baseball game, Mario Sports Sluggers
That’s lame…
pretty lazy of them
Ah I see.
Those Luigi and Peach pictures are also recycled. Luigi is from “Mario Golf Toadstool Tour” and Peach is from “Mario Tennis Open” on 3DS
Yeah thats lazy, it´s like Finding Dory promo art from Finding Nemo, the only new one´s seem to be the horse
That’s some serious cashgrab right there x)
Well, that kinda ruins things, you’re just buying old concept art in the form of a card.
Meh, I don’t really care.
Many of the amiibo figures have the same appearances as official artwork from the past so I don’t see what the problem is.
The difference is these are flat pictures that you can easily find on the internet if you know where to look & then print them out for less than 13 bucks. Til 3D printers are cheap & used by even common people, you can’t compare figurines to this.
This is why I hated the idea of amiibo cards. It means Nintendo can be lazy & cheap while still draining you dry for silly pictures you can find on the internet.
Mario sports is a bit of a conglomeration of previous Mario games either way so i can look past this
I forgot I was waiting for Amiibo cards for all figures. Guess that never panned out.
