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.

As always, you can find a few excerpts from the interview below. The full discussion is located here.

Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer has been a huge success in Japan, selling over 500,000 copies in its first week. Not surprisingly, the amiibo cards have been similarly successful, to the point where they have been hard to find in stores. Nintendo has now issued a statement that the second wave of Animal Crossing amiibo cards will not release on September 30th, as was originally planned. Instead, production facilities will be used to reprint the first wave of cards, with those reprints hitting store shelves at the end of August. A new release date for the second wave will be announced at a later date.

Nintendo has announced the North American release dates for several new amiibo.

The 30th Anniversary Mario Classic Color, Zero Suit Samus, Ganondorf, Olimar, Bowser Jr., and Dr. Mario are all arriving on September 11. There will also be a Retro 3 Pack on September 25 featuring R.O.B., Duck Hunt, and Mr. Game & Watch.

Nintendo says that “details about availability and pre-order schedules for these figures will be announced directly from various retailers in the near future.” This is speculation on my part, but it sounds like you’ll need to grab the Retro 3 Pack from GameStop if you’re interested in R.O.B., Duck Hunt, and Mr. Game & Watch come September 25.

Finally, Nintendo shared an update on the Mii Fighters. Previously announced for September, they’ll now be arriving sometime in November as a 3 pack. Nintendo will also announce details about launch plans for the 30th Anniversary Mario Modern Color amiibo in North America in the future.
