European Switch users have gotten a news item about amiibo, which, as Nintendaan points out, notes that amiibo will be compatible with Splatoon 2. The tweet is below:

Since amiibo were compatible with the original Splatoon, it seemed reasonable for them to return in the sequel, though we don’t know how they’ll be used. Splatoon fans will probably want to keep their Inklings on hand.

In a recent interview with Gamerant.com, Eric Bright had a lot of positive things to say about the Switch. Bright, who is the the senior director of merchandising at GameStop, says that the Nintendo Switch is off to such a strong start that it could end up eclipsing the sales numbers the Wii achieved. Additionally, the console has seen some of the highest attach rates for software and accessories for any device “in a long time.”

“The Nintendo Switch is off to a start right now that it could possibly eclipse the Wii. Initial sales on this have been phenomenal. I can’t give straight numbers, but I can say we’re seeing one of the highest attach rates of software and accessories to a device that we’ve seen in a long time.”
