We may have the next retailer-exclusive amiibo on our hands.

Target has started putting up listings for the next round of Smash Bros. figures, including Dr. Mario. This has sparked speculation that the amiibo will be an exclusive since it hasn’t appeared in inventory systems for other stores.

Of course, any sort of retailer exclusivity for Dr. Mario hasn’t been confirmed at this time. We’ll need to wait for more information before we know how the situation will play out.

Yesterday we learned that Animal Crossing amiibo cards would cost $6 per pack (6 cards in each) here in the United States. In the UK, we now know that packs will be £3.49.

The Nintendo UK store now has its listing up for the Animal Crossing amiibo cards here. Each pack contains three cards, and one of these will always be a special one.

There are also now various bundles for Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer to choose from on the Nintendo UK store. You can find all of the offerings here.

Update: The Super Mario Maker amiibo page is now fully updated. The Animal Crossing amiibo cards should work (thanks NicoRobin!).

We have one last piece of important news coming from today’s Super Mario Maker trailer. Over 50 amiibo are supported, including Link, Wii Fit Trainer, and Kirby.

The official amiibo website indicates that all existing and upcoming figures work with the game, with one exception: the Mii Fighters. It’s also unclear if the Animal Crossing amiibo cards will be compatible.
