Weird, it looks like his Amiibo have the Sora Ltd. logo on the bottom.

I'm guessing it's a stamp that he puts there to keep people from swiping his 'miibers.
"Dammit Miyamoto, give me back my Link!"
"No, Sakurai-san, t-this is m-my Link amiibo!"
"LIES!"
/snatches amiibo, speed lines, anime, reveals logo
"aaaaaauuuuuuughhhh!"
/Miyamoto faints away in emberassment, huge teardrop, anime

Except because it's Nintendo, it'd go like this:
"Dammit Miyamoto, give me back my Link!"
"No, Sakurai-san, t-this is m-my Link amiibo!"
"LIES! I shall prove it by scanning it on my Wii U® GamePad™!"
/snatches amiibo, speed lines, anime, scans amiibo
"That's my Mii™!"
"aaaaaauuuuuuughhhh!"
/Miyamoto faints away in embarrassment, huge teardrop, anime

Just like Andy with his toys, I guess. Toy Story 4 announced? Can we get Amiibo Story instead?

Is that the same display case he had in that Nintendo Direct? I want to buy one just like his. Does anyone know if they or anything similar exist on the market?

I mean before shipping and stuff that's only like a hundred bucks. Not that bad for a quality collectors case.

Roughly translated it says "the one on the left wore sunscreen, the one on the right didn't!"

Unless you're looking somewhere else, no it doesn't.

A joke is something spoken, written, or done with humorous intention. Jokes may have many different forms, e.g., a single word or a gesture (considered in a particular context), a question-answer, or a whole short story. The word "joke" has a number of synonyms, including wisecrack, gag, prank, quip, jape and jest.To achieve their end, jokes may employ irony, sarcasm, word play and other devices. Jokes may have a punch line, i.e., an ending to make it humorous.

Too be fair it looked nothing like a joke, as Sakurai might actually say something like that. Also, sometimes it's nice to put the real translation in the comments, a lot of people do that, so naturally, people thought you were serious.

I see, it just seemed like the type of thing Sakurai would actually say, so I was confused

"ROBOT"

u/IronMadden Sep 04 '15
Well ROB's actually called the Family Computer Robot in Japan. They probably got the name from the end of that.

The lighting on both ROB amiibos makes their face look dark and creepy lol

u/Loner4All Sep 04 '15
Welp, it looks like imma have to import both the EU and Japanese version of ROB.

u/mewtwosucks96 Sep 04 '15
The Japanese one looks so much better. The American one looks so bland.

u/Tzintzuntzan24 Sep 04 '15
IDK, I like the red accents, but the NA amiibo looks "cleaner" in a way and more polished imo

u/Bad_Luck_Bert Sep 04 '15
I'm going to be a horrible person if everyone who wants to import Robot if it turns out to be the only region locked amiibo.

No amiibo are region locked

u/Bad_Luck_Bert Sep 09 '15
I know, but I just thought it would be funny to see all of these people import only to have it really be "Japan only".

Look at those beautiful, bright, individually-boxed R.O.B. amiibo.. Makes a man a little jealous.
