Earlier this year, we celebrated Exion’s ninth anniversary. We didn’t actually do anything, but I like to call it a celebration anyway. But the fun (or lack thereof, honestly) doesn’t stop there — today’s the Amiibo Dojo’s fifth anniversary! If you’re new to the site as of this year, I probably have some explaining to do.
I created the community in February 2011. Way before amiibo training was ever a thing. By the time amiibo figures were released in November 2014, the site was starting to slow down. In January 2015, I wrote the first-ever amiibo training guide. And then I kept writing new and updated ones! Eventually, I had so many reddit posts to keep track of that I just had to make a blog to store them all on. And I started that version of the community on August 29, 2015 — five years ago today!
That means we celebrate two anniversaries here: one on February 24 and one on August 29. Creation and recreation, basically! It’s amazing to me that our amiibo content is going strong five years later. People still like to read it, and as long as that’s the case, I’ll continue writing it. And I’ll be sure to mix in different kinds of posts, too. Thanks again for all your support!
