Things have been a bit quiet on the amiibo front recently, but Nintendo announced a bevy of new figures at E3 2019. Most are part of the Super Smash Bros. series, but there’s also a wonderfully cute Link amiibo to tie in with the release of the Link’s Awakening remake.
Releasing 20 September 2019
In September we get Link from Zelda: Link’s Awakening along with three Smash amiibo: Squirtle, Ivysaur and Solid Snake.
Releasing November 2019
Come November we’ll be treated to three more Smash amiibo: Chrom, Incineroar and Simon Belmont from Castlevania. We don’t have an exact date for these yet, though.
Releasing sometime in 2020
And finally at some point in 2020, we’ll get Dark Samus and Richter from Castlevania.
More amiibo on the way
Nintendo also announced more additions to the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate roster at E3, namely Banjo-Kazooie and the Hero from Dragon Quest XI, so presumably we’ll be seeing them in amiibo form at some point. I imagine there will be a bit of a scrum to get hold of Banjo-Kazooie in particular.
One last thing – I noticed this morning that GAME have just added most of these amiibo to their site for preorder this morning, and presumably they will be popping up on other sites soon as well. I reckon the Link amiibo in particular will sell out fast judging by previous Link releases, so get in quick if you want one!
