Nintendo of America has sent out a new announcement regarding amiibo. The publisher shared the latest news about upcoming figures and games supporting the functionality in early 2016.

Perhaps the biggest news here is that amiibo support is now official for Star Fox Zero. However, Nintendo will be sharing specifics at a later date.

We also now know that new Animal Crossing amiibo, including characters like Timmy & Tommy, Kapp’n and Rover, are due out in North America on March 18. Digby will also be made available as a stand-alone figure. The next series of Animal Crossing amiibo cards will also arrive in March.

Also in terms of amiibo figures, several Pokemon will be restocked at select retailers. Be on the lookout for Charizard, Jigglypuff, Greninja and Lucario to once again return to shelves right next to Pikachu.

Head past the break for today’s full announcement, which also recaps news about Twilight Princess HD and Mario & Sonic.

Those looking to purchase Hyrule Warriors Legends on 3DS will also be able to use the new cast members on Wii U. Here’s a look at how each new character’s model will look on the big screen.

A source revealed to NintendoWorldReport today that Nintendo of America will be removing some dialogue in the upcoming Western release of Fire Emblem: Fates. Here is what Nintendo of America had to say:

“In the version of the game that ships in the U.S. and Europe, there is no expression which might be considered as gay conversion or drugging that occurs between characters.”

The conversation in question is a support conversation with the female character Soleli, who is revealed in-game to be attracted to women. When paired with the male version of the main protagonist, her drink is spiked at a later point in her support chain and she finds herself attracted to him instead. This isn’t the first time in the series that Nintendo has had issues with sexual orientations in the Fire Emblem series a notable example being the absence of gay marriage in Fire Emblem Awakening. Though Fates includes same sex marriage, it makes sense that they would take this extra step to avoid any further backlash.

For the full story about this particular support conversation and how it will affect the release of Fates next month, head over to NintendoWorldReport for the full story.

The folks over at GameXplain have uploaded another comparison video of the various Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess versions. Check the link below to see how the Wii U version looks in comparison to the original
