Last week, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime took over the company’s Twitter account and answered a few fan questions (while also giving a photo tour of Nintendo World). Bill Trinen is now getting in on the Twitter festivities as well. He’ll be hosting a Q&A this Thursday at 9 AM PT.

Nintendo’s updated amiibo website gives a complete overview about the compatibility of the different figures in Hyrule Warriors.

Here’s a look as to what’s posted on the site:

Tap the Link amiibo figure to receive a new weapon to use in battle: the Spinner from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess game.

Tap the Zelda amiibo figure once per day to get a weapon rated 3 stars or higher.

Tap any other amiibo figure once per day to get a weapon rated 3 starts or lower, Rupee bonus or crafting material bonus.

Hyrule Warriors will receive an update later this month for added amiibo functionality.

Earlier this week, Nintendo announced that it has teamed up with Loot Crate for a limited time amiibo subscription service. All of the figures have now been confirmed, and pricing has been revealed.

Nintendo fans have two pricing options available to them. They are as follows:

In week one, consumers will receive the Mario, Donkey Kong, Kirby, and Pikachu amiibo figures along with a collectible mini-mag plus an exclusive sticker and wristband. Yoshi, Fox, Peach, and Samus will follow in week two with another mini-mag and an exclusive cinch bag. To close things out, Luigi and Zelda will be sent in week three with yet another mini-mag and “an ultra rare t-shirt”.

You can find more information over on Loot Crate. Note that crates can only be shipped to the U.S.

Thanks to Carlos D for the tip.

Toys “R” Us will be running a slight deal on amiibo figures next week. If you buy three, you’ll be able to get them for $30.

amiibo figures will typically be priced at $12.99 (not sure why the ad above lists $13.99). So by taking advantage of the Toys “R” Us deal, you’ll save nearly $10.

The deals shown above will technically begin on November 16, and will last through November 22. But since amiibo isn’t launching until November 21, you’ll only have a couple of days to take advantage of the sale.

During the most recent Nintendo Direct, it was revealed that players will be able to unlock the Spinner weapon by using the Link amiibo. It turns out that another figure can provide players with the same weapon. By using the Toon Link amiibo, you can also unlock the Spinner weapon.
