Sorry, James McCloud Jr.

The Captain Falcon amiibo is apparently pretty hard of get a hold of right now. Through a strange series of events, I ended up with one last night. Without getting into all the details, I’ll let you know that I ended up standing beside a localPokémonchampion at nearby Target store. He influenced the clerks behind the counter to look in their backroom for Captain Falcon amiibos. The clerks were sure they didn’t have any in stock. The Pokémon champion was sure that they did. Somehow, he was sure.

Guess who was right?

To be clear, I don’t entirely approve of the amiibo craze. Seeing so many people spend their time and money on all these ornamental plastic statues while they ignore great Wii U games likeStealth Inc 2,Lone Survivor,1001 Spikes, andThomas Was Alonemakes me a little blue. That said, the Captain Falcon amiibo is a charmer worth squawking about, which is why it won my personal butt of the year award.
