Fire Emblem Fates is one of Nintendo’s latest games to make use of amiibo. Players can scan in Marth, Ike, Lucina and Robin from the Smash Bros. line for use in the My Castle area. Here’s everything we know:

– Characters appear in your plaza
– Each one will challenge you to a battle
– Speak to them and they’ll share humorous fourth-wall dialogue about their time in Super Smash Bros
– Robin says: “I have the strangest feeling that before coming here, I battled against many combatants… launching people, getting launched…”
– Ike: “I just remembered… before coming here, I matched up against countless warriors from all over the world to hone my skills.”
– When you enter battle, the camera zooms in on Ike, who performs his iconic taunt from Super Smash Bros
– Lucina mentions “that battleground,” a place where she “honed her skills by matching up against competitors from around the world.”
– Marth says he’s happy to see you again and says “As we spoke before, my bonds with everyone have deepened through battle.”
– He then claims that he wants to know more about you, and then challenges you to a fight
– Characters join your party after defeating the amiibo fighters in battle
– The main character will mention that s/he’s “is in the middle of an adventure”
– The amiibo characters will then respond differently
– Robin reflects on his own adventure, having fought many powerful enemies and making good friends
– Ike says that by following you, he’ll become more powerful
– Lucina notes that she came to this world to borrow your power
– Marth notes that he understands you better now, and would like to join you without interrupting your journey

Media Create has shared a little extra additional information about Fire Emblem Fates’ debut sales in Japan.

As mentioned earlier this week, the game managed to sell over 300,000 units. Birthright sold a bit more out of the two versions, with Media Create reporting that it moved 154,000 copies. On the other hand, Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest sold 107,000 units. The Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition chipped in with another 43,000 copies.

Fire Emblem Fates managed to outdo its predecessor, Fire Emblem: Awakening, in terms of first week sales – 304,000 units vs. 243,000 units. It’s also worth mentioning that lifetime sales of Awakening in Japan are at 492,000 copies sold.

Media Create didn’t provide a sell-through rate for Fire Emblem Fates, but Dengeki has come through with that information. According to the site, visible buzz surrounding the game allowed it to sell through 90 percent of its initial stock.
