Two new waves of Amiibos announced

Compatibility with Captain Toad and Mario Party 10 explained.

Nintendo revealed two new waves of Amiiboo characters today on their Nintendo Direct. The first new set of characters are Mario Bros. themed new renditions of Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser and Yoshi as well as a Toad figurine. The first five will be interchangable with the original Smash Bros. renditions of the characters, but they launch alongside Mario Party 10 in Europe (the game will also be sold as a bundle with the Mario amiibo). In Mario Party 10 characters will unlock special boards that corresponds to the character in question.

Nintendo also revealed that Toad will unlock a special game mode where you look for hidden pixel-Toads in the levels of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker.

The next wave of Smash Bros. themed characters launch on April 24 with Robin, Lucina, Wario, Charizard, Ness and Pac-Man. Nintendo also revealed that Fire Emblem amiibos will link up with the upcoming Code Name: STEAM.
