Amiibo

Update: Daily Nintendo reports that a Dutch restock is happening this summer as a selection of the first four waves. This will apparently include Villager, Little Mac, Captain Falcon, and Marth.

We’ve heard from Nintendo before about how some amiibo will be restocked. Marth, for instance, is finally returning to U.S. store shelves later next month. Other figures will be reproduced depending on demand and available shelf space in stores.

This is something that a Nintendo of Germany customer service representative essentially reaffirmed to one fan. After sending in an email because pre-orders for the new Smash Bros. amiibo wave sold out so quickly, he received the following response:

We will reproduce several amiibo, which have been sold out after only a few hours. This will take some time. We sold our 5.7 million amiibo worldwide, which exceeded our expectations. This is also a reason that our production is delayed.

Just a few days ago we reported that a retailer in South Africa had a few listings up for amiibo for the upcoming Splatoon. The amiibo listed had both “Boy” and “Girl” versions, plus a “Squid” edition that would be bundled with the game. Though nothing has been made official from Nintendo, it seems Splatoon’s eShop page makes mention of the usage of amiibo, further giving this evidence merit. Now though the amiibo compatible could very well be those previously released, it certainly makes you think if Splatoon-based amiibo really may be on the way. I, for one, certainly welcome the notion of having a Splatoon amiibo line.

Destructoid has shared a menu image from Mario Party 10, which provides a look at the amiibo supported in-game. Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, Yoshi, Wario, Rosalina, Donkey Kong, and Bowser all work. Smash Bros. amiibo are also supported, though you’ll need to delete any old data on the figures.

Below are a few more Mario Party 10 amiibo menu shots:

Starting on March 14, Nintendo will be hosting a series of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U tournaments at a number of gaming and toy store locations across Japan. Stores in Ichikawa (Chiba prefecture), Umeda (Osaka) and Moriya (Ibaraki) will be seeing the first round of tournaments.

It’s important to mention that these tournaments aren’t player-based. Instead, amiibo figures will be battling it out.

The prize for winning the tournament is none other than… a free amiibo. Nintendo is also providing a Super Smash Bros. A4-sized clear file for all participants.

Update: Just wanted to casually mention that the same retailer also has Greninja and Jigglypuff. I’m not making a big deal out of it since we know that every Smash Bros. character is getting an amiibo. There’s also a May 29 release date listed, but I’m not confident that it’s accurate.

Raru, a retailer in South Africa, has a few listings up for Splatoon amiibo. Pre-orders are live for “Boy” and “Girl” versions, plus a “Squid” amiibo bundle with the actual game.

There’s definitely a chance that these listings are nothing more than mistakes on Raru’s part, though they haven’t been entirely debunked… yet. We’ll leave you guys to speculate! Either way, would you purchase a Splatoon-based amiibo?
