Amiibo

The Dr. Mario amiibo may have some sort of functionality within Splatoon. Nintendo’s website lists the figure as being compatible.

There are two possibilities here: either the listing is a mistake, or the Dr. Mario will in fact work with Splatoon. We should know soon enough!

Gamers can now begin pre-ordering Splatoon and related amiibo from the Nintendo UK store. Get your reservation in here.

There are several options to choose from. There’s the base game, standalone amiibo, and bundles with a T-shirt.

Update: Double rumor! There’s now speculation that Meta Knight will return sometime this summer at Best Buy. A corporate-level employee at the retailer has apparently said that the restock will be happening, but a date hasn’t been shared yet.


The Meta Knight amiibo appears to have been discontinued at Best Buy.

On Saturday, Best Buy listed the figure as “Active”. But today, that changed to “Deleted”. Because items tend to stay “Deleted” once they’ve reached that status, the assumption is that Meta Knight won’t be returning to Best Buy in the future.

We’ll let you know if we hear anything official about the Meta Knight amiibo going forward.

Toys “R” Us is holding in-store pre-orders for wave 4 amiibo on April 27. However, you should keep in mind that reservations are limited to just two figures. Consumers will only be able to pre-order Greninja and Pac-Man figures. That’s it!
