Famicom Detective Club Collector's Edition

Nintendo has something special lined up for Famicom Detective Club in Japan. The two games will be offered as part of a new collector’s edition when it launches later this year.

The Famicom Detective Club Collector’s Edition includes both games on a single cartridge, an art book featuring character and concept art, two reprints of promotional flyers from the game’s original release, and a 75-song official soundtrack that includes songs from Famicom version of the game. Pricing is set at 9,980 yen.

After The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword was announced for Switch yesterday, it promptly went up the eShop for pre-order. It seems that the store listing has a bit of additional information about the game. As it turns out, amiibo support is listed as one of the included features.

Nintendo hasn’t yet said anything about plans for amiibo in Zelda: Skyward Sword HD, so fans will be left to speculate for the time being. At the very least, the Skyward Sword Link figure from 2017 should be supported.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD arrives for Switch on July 16.
