\"\"<\/a>Recently I got a bunch of new amiibo figures and cards, so I thought I\u2019d spend this first week of the month talking about them.\u00a0 I guess you could call this month \u201cA-MAY-Bo.\u201d\u00a0 Ok sorry, that was bad.\u00a0 Anyway, first up is some amiibo figures based on Monster Hunter Rise, the newest game in the series that was just released recently. I\u2019ve never played a Monster Hunter game before, so this should be quick!<\/p>\n

Here they are in the boxes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here they are out of the boxes.\u00a0 I\u2019m always impressed at the attention to detail in amiibo figures, and these are no exception.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had to save the top of the boxes to remember the names.\u00a0 The one on the left that looks like a ninja cat is named \u201cPalico.\u201d\u00a0 The one in the middle is \u201cMagnamalo.\u201d\u00a0 This one is neat because it\u2019s an oversized amiibo figure that goes over the edges, kind of like the Breath of the Wild Guardian amiibo.\u00a0 He kind of reminds me of those Behemoth enemies from Final Fantasy games.\u00a0 The blue doggy figure on the right is named \u201cPalamute.\u201d\u00a0 He kind of reminds me of Repede from Tales of Vesperia.<\/p>\n

Did you know that this isn\u2019t the first time there has been Monster Hunter amiibo?\u00a0 They had a set of six that went along with Monster Hunter Stories for the DS.\u00a0 That game came to the US, but the amiibo figures stayed in Japan.\u00a0 I have those figures, though, and wrote about them a while back, so here\u2019s that article<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The only other interesting thing I know about Monster Hunter (aside from there being a boss from it in Smash), is that back when Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer first came out, they had a promotion with Monster Hunter where if you connected the game to the internet, you could get some Monster Hunter themed furniture to decorate with!\u00a0 Crazy, huh?\u00a0 Just goes to show you how popular that game is, I guess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
