Both will actually be appearing during the Niconico Championship held at Tokaigi 2016. During the event, a demonstration battle that uses Bayonetta and Corrin will be shown.
The event itself starts at the following times, though it’s unclear when Bayonetta and Corrin are being featured:

– 8:15 PM ET (Saturday)
– 1:15 AM in the UK (Sunday)

You can watch the Niconico stream here. If you happen to miss the event, I’m sure a recorded version will show up soon after!
Rumor: New amiibo references spotted within Splatoon’s files, possibly Squid Sisters
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U | 20 Comments
Last year, Nintendo released three amiibo for Splatoon. We currently have the Inkling Boy, Inkling Girl, and, Inkling Squid figures. Could more be on the way?
NWPlayer123 has built a reputation for leaking new content for Splatoon ahead of official reveals. In the past, we’ve found out about levels and weapons among other elements before they were announced. NWPlayer123 now seems to have unearthed evidence of new amiibo figures.
Eh, screw it. Squid Sisters amiibo, coming soon to a retailer near you pic.twitter.com/yzE8dsKSLB

“AmiiboIdolA” and “AmiiboIdolB” have both been found within Splatoon’s files. These two were likely included in the game’s most recent update. Given the names, would one think that they’re referencing the Squid Sisters.
We’ll let you know if we hear anything else about this rumor.
Thanks to Mattrio for the tip.
