Though they were previously only listed by retailers, the Fire Emblem Fates and Super Smash Bros. for 3DS amiibo bundles have now been officially announced by Nintendo. Currently, they are only announced for Australia and New Zealand, releasing on September 22 for AU$69.95. However, given their European listings, we can expect them to at least release there, and hopefully in other regions. Each bundle includes an NFC reader, a game, and a paired amiibo, with Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright including Ike, Conquest including Marth, and Smash Bros. including Samus.
