Today we saw a tweet from Twitter user @Shiroth that got our pulses racing, as it shared an image of a potential fourth wave of amiibo due in March next year — the line-up showed Pac-Man, Greninja, Game & Watch, Dark Pit, Ness(!) and Lucina.
Due to there being no official details from Nintendo we scoured the web for the original source and, unfortunately, upon discovering the forum post on GameFAQs we have to conclude that they're fake. That's a crying shame, but you can admire the mock-ups (and spot the issues) in the two images below.
It's the wrong season for completely crushing dreams, however, so let's consider the characters we still want to see as amiibo. There are plenty left, of course, and we wouldn't put it past Nintendo to match its stated ambition (revealed during E3) and eventually release the whole roster — hopefully with decent stock levels...
Let us know which amiibo toys you'd rush out and buy in the comments below, while we've also added a poll for your enjoyment.

I would love the Duck hunt dog. It would be so epic
I want to see the flatness that is the Game and Watch amiibo, and the Duck Hunt Duo amiibo.
Dat Ness.
Will be buying Zero Suit Samus, Palutena and Charizard when they show up.
No i wanted that Mr.Game and Watch figure,noooooooo!!!Why do people have to play with my feelings?
When Lucina comes out I'm buying two...so I can hack off her hair and add a mask. I do hope robin is both genders or at least two amiibo.
@Tsurii897 He's fighting for his friends all the time, what do you except?
Aw man, it's pretty much a tie between Palutena and Lucina for me because if I can't afford a Lucina figma or ever even hope a Palutena figma would come out then their Amiibos would be the next best thing...
Generic mii, no thanks. Premium version of amiibo that was my mii. I'd buy that or spend club Nintendo coins.
Dark Pit looks awesome.
Nes, Metroid Fusion, Zero Suit Samus, R.O.B, Mr Game & Watch, Bravley Default People, Fire Emblem 3DS People.
I want Nes & Zero suit Samus most i would get 2 of each they would be so good.

I sure hope we get some more. Even with all the confusion from stock shortages, canceling preorders, and reinstating them again, these are at least decent looking figures. And some of the characters being the first time as a figure too.
I doubt they will stop production though. Amiibo has been a gold mine so far for them, so stopping short wouldn't make a great deal of sense. This is Nintendo we are talking about though, so we will just have to wait and see.
@Lunapplebloom Which one's are you pre ordering friendo?Or they don't interest you that much?
Of the options listed, Palutena is at the top of my list. Longer-term my #1 wish is Daisy. Preferably in biker gear.
I'll write in Isabelle (Animal Crossing).
Dog, then Palutena and ZSS. Maybe Pacman.
Where is my Kooper Trooper or Dry Bones?
Voted Zero Suit Samus. But I want Zero Suit Samus and Olimar. Everybody else is just to fill it up.
I want Duck Hunt and Dr Mario, also I hope that Mr Game & Watch would be a club nintendo exclusive.
Wario should come in classic design and Biker/Warioware Wario.
I guess what gives away the fact that these are fake may be that G&W's amiibo doesn't follow the same pose as his official art; being the odd one out.
That said though, the image is pretty cool and I do hope the whole roster gets amiibos.
Palutena, Lucina and Dark Pit are the ones I'd like to see in future waves.
In regards to those pictures there are 3 problems I've noted. 23rd March is not a Friday and the boxes are numbered for EU release. Mr. Game and Watch has a bell. The one that screamed fake to me, Ness' box is yellow when it should be red.
What?
I want to see the entire roster of course.
@Midnafanboy All of the ones revealed so far currently. The only one that eludes me is Rosalina & Luma since Target isn't taking preorders yet.
I was only orginally getting just the select few that I liked, but then it turned into a bit of a frenzy for me. Still, I've managed to get all that have released so far at regular retail price, and have preorders on the rest I can, so I'm good.
I would love to see Olimar and Wario (my brother loves Wario so much)
My money's on Lady Palutena. With her fighting styles in Smash bros, she'll make a fine ally and a formidable opponent to customize.
@redwingleader Fair enough, just put it in there for the heck of it!
Olimar with Pikmin would be epic, maybe even add support to Pikmin 3 in some minor way? At any rate, I love Pikmin, and they have the potential to be a great figure
Wow really hoped this was real really liking the lucina amiibo and when I get the lucina figma it would look great together.
@Undead_terror I thought you weren't interested in Amiibo's deadman?
I'm surprised Zero Suit Samus doesn't have more votes.
Didn't Nintendo say something about custom Mii figures? I'd buy that.
I want R.O.B., if that is not obvious. Maybe Ike since he's become my main. But I also want a game to use them well.
I want to see how they would make Mr. Game & Watch amiibo.
@Lunapplebloom Lucky man well the only ones i'm getting is Ike and King dedede and maybe Shulk if i have money left.Oh god next year my wallet is going to bleed blood.
All of them!
I'm getting dat Charizard amiibo as soon as it is available for preorder. Bit my hopes are that a Mewtwo amiibo will see the light of day. I know he's dlc but still a huge possibility.
I vote for Ganondorf as he's likely the only one that'll have compatibility outside of Smash (maybe he'll unlock a special weapon in Hyrule Warriors like with Link and Zelda?)
I would most definitely like a PacMan 👍
Pac-Man, Ness and Duck Hunt Dog!
Ness & Ganondorf or we riot!!!
I'd like to see Duck Hunt and Dark Pit (seeing as how they're two of my mains) and of course Greninja!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that they said they were going to make amiibos of ALL the fighters in Smash Bros. Still...I want a Ness amiibo!
I want Greninja and Duck Hunt already.
@Tsurii897 I thought Zelda unlocks the Dominion Rod if you don't own the Twilight Princess DLC?
I just want a greninja one... thas all.
Captian Toad, Medli, a Cucoo, maybe Princess Ruto
They're fake but they are DAMN good mock-ups!
Dark Pit and Wario.
Ness and Jigglypuff!!, but I can imagine most of these coming in the following months, I'm a dreamer.
Im sorry, I can't seem to find the "Everyone" option.
The moment the Duck Hunt amiibo is announced, i'm pre-ordering!
Bayonetta. In 1 or 2 form . . . or both!!!
Surely they're going to have one for each fighter eventually? I thought that was the whole point.
I'm confused as to why particular attention (or surprise) is drawn to Ness in the article? I'd be more excited about Game and Watch in that line up.
Oh thank god, these aren't real yet. I need a small break after trying to scramble for waves 2 and 3.
These renderings look spot on. Kudos to whoever made those.
Duck Hunt duo.
Robin and Lucina plz.
Ness and Mii Fighters. I'll take four, thanks.
Zero Suit Samus.
I really want Lucina, Palutena, Robin, and Pac-Man amiibo.
Wow! That was a realistic mock-up! I thought they were real before I saw the headline!
Wow, people here really don't care about Wario
OK so I went today to buy an amiibo or two. I don't care about extra game content. I don't play Mario Kart or Smash. I wanted some for collector purposes. I ended up buying none! I was frustrated of how low quality and cheap they look. Seriously a 9.99 euro marvel action figure is better painted. I also checked the Disney Infinity marvel figures and they were somewhat better than amiibo but still looked cheap. I may get some either way but way later for less than 10 euros or something...
As for a new figure Bayonetta. Obviously...
There are only a few amiibo that I actually want to buy: Samus, Yoshi, and when he is released, Ness.
I voted for Olimar but I'd love to see a Captain Toad amiibo
We know all those are coming anyway.
My guess is that Pac-Man and Greninja will be the ones we see earliest out of those, because they're starter characters.
Then will come Ness, who's a starter in Smash U but unlockable in Smash 3D.
That's when G-Dubs, Pittoo, and Lucina, the characters that are always unlockable, will start showing up.
Olimar, Bowser Jr., Mr. Game and Watch, Duck Hunt, Pac-Man... Oh, my poor wallet!
mr. game & watch. just to see how they would do it
When will Nintendo be taking orders for Amiibo figures of your own Mii? They can name their own price for that, I'd love a personalised Mii figure!
@Sockymon They should totally do it. Like NikeID. And sell it for $200 a piece.
I thought it was announced that all SSB4 fighters were getting an Amiibo. Doesn't that mean all of the choices for the vote will be made into Amiibo eventually?
Nice work they look real. Maybe there will be more amiibos on coming, but another hand its going to be even more costly to collect every amiibo if so.
Charizard!! What person could honestly say that they don't want a pet Charizard just sittin' there on their shelf!?! Those poll results are rather inconclusive, not much to glean from it :/ speaking of Amiibo, I FINALLY got my Link review up! http://youtu.be/2PZhqC2ESP8
I think I've got something pretty unique in my detailed review of both the physical and digital sides of the Amiibo, plus it's fun! One day Charizard, you shall be on the silver (red) screen of Youtube!
I wouldn't mind having Greninja.
Greninja just because he looks awesome.
Does it really matter what we want to see in a future wave? We'll get them all eventually anyway
Correction: They will all be released anyway. Whether we actually get them or not is another matter altogether
anyone interested in some twilight princess rare midna foil card and reg. cards? all proceeds help me pay for my amiibo fund 2015
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nintendo-Legend-of-Zelda-Twilight-Princess-Trading-Cards-amp-RARE-MIDNA-FOIL-CARD-/111556975276?
Dat Greninja Tho!!! <3
Dat Greninja Tho!!! <3
Zero Suit Samus and Wario (although Mr. Games and Watch looks awesome!)
This is pointless since there won't be enough made for people that want them to buy anyway. Real smart Nintendo.
I just want the Koopalings to each get their own after Bowser Jr. gets his own amiibo.
@Yosher
With the 25th anniversary of the US release of Super Mario Bros 3 being next February, I'd LOVE to see a Koopaling set (along with some powerup Marios, namely a Tanooki Mario Amiibo)
Those stances would be to cool for Nintendo to release. They would have to make it some made-up stance you'd never see the characters do, ha ha.
1% for Dr. Mario?
@gblock I'd rather we get actual character amiibo before power-up amiibo. Certainly not opposed to it though, I'd eat it up all the same.
@Yosher I think you may want to lower your expectations a bit regarding koopaling amiibos. That's kind of much
It may be a bit presumptuous to assume that this is a fake at this point as I see no reason why anybody want waste their time creating a mock-up of an inevitability. But then… there are an awful lot of aimless humans on this planet…
The only reason why I would doubt its legitimacy is the fact that Nintendo would prioritise some of the most obscure characters so quickly. =/
Robin would pretty sweet.
All of the people who didn't vote for Dark Pit earn serious weiner status. Gotta get goth, son.
<- Bowser Jr.
I really love the look of the Game & Watch even though it's fake. I voted for Olimar and would love to see how the pikmin turn out.
Duck Hunt Duo is #1 on my list so I voted him. Here's my top 8 picks:
#1 Duck Hunt Duo
#2 Pacman
#3 R.O.B.
#4 Mr Game-N-Watch
#5 Zero Suit Samus
& bonus Mario Kart Characters...
#6 Waluigi
#7 Tanooki Mario
#8 Cat Peach
Also some classic Mario enemies would be cool too: Boo, Likatu, Cheep-Cheep, Blooper, Hammer Bros, Wriggler, etc...
GAME & WATCH
Well we know that they will all come out someday anyways, just be patient for the one you want; and Nintendo would be stupid to not supply future waves better.
Those images are definitely fake, but I can' wait to see Pac-Man, Lucina, Ness, and Dr. Mario.
...Why is there not an "all of the above" option in the poll? I want them ALL, dude!
Why's Wario only on 3%?!?!?! What's wrong with this world?
How would this be a fourth wave? It would be a fifth one.
Ah man I got crazy excited for a moment there!
Game & Watch, Pac-man and Duck Hunt Duo are my most wanted. But I'm also after Jigglypuff, Charizard, Greninja, ROB and Ness.
I only need 4 more figures: Ness, Zero Suit Samus, Game and Watch, and Doctor Mario, for my life to be complete.
@gblock Imagine if a Tanooki Mario outfit gave your Mii a Tanooki outfit in Mario Kart 8
All I want for Christmas is a Shy Guy amiibo...
Greninja. C'mon Nintendo
@KeeperBvK The third and fourth waves in Europe are one big third wave in America, I think.
Birdo and King Boo
I want Block Head from the U.S.A version of Tomodachi Life.
@SuperWiiU
I care.
I kinda want to see Olimar's Amiibo figure simply because in game he has a bigger trophy stand than the others, I want to see how they'd deal with that.
You know what I would like to see? A Mii one that's designed off of your actual Mii. They could open it up for a limited time where you send your QR code to them and they produce a Mii amiibo from that. It's never going to happen because of the logistics of it all (plus the price would be ludicrous) but that would be a dream come true.
I would image bowser he in amiibo form with the clown car and himself...
Pac-Man looks weird, it has to be true xd
Why do you guys want Zero Suit Samus so much? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
@DonnaxNL Bruh, Mr. G&W is using his Brawl artwork, it's fake.
@PokeMarioR I know it's fake, just making fun of it. As in - wanted to be true.
I would like to see Nintendo make most if not all of these. If they were real I'd have to get a least half of them.
a mr game and watch and zero samus suit amiibo would interest me the most off that list. I'm not a fan of the support pillar on some amiibo especially where it's yellow and really intrusive visually. It would be great if NIntendo could find a way to produce them in a way that eliminates the need for that support pillar. Even if it's something as simple as just making them all with both feet on the platform.
With the shortages and the speculation over production runs and such. My theory is they will produce more of the ones with lower supplies that sold out really quickly but they'll be different (hopefully improved) like in a different pose. Perhaps it could work as a cynical move to entice the hardcore collectors to buy more of the same figure to have the most complete collection.
@midnafanboy I would be interested in a Duck Hunt one, but nay to the rest for the most part.
@Undead_terror What?No love for Mr.Game and Watch?Damn
Falco. Falco. And Falco.
Can somebody please tell me why the support pillar is yellow in sume figures? Couldnät it be transparent in all?
I would really like an option where you can send a full body photo of your Wii U Mii in to Nintendo, with a payment, of course... and they would make you a personal amiibo of your actual Mii.
@midnafanboy He might be something I would like, would be nice if he was a Club Nintendo exclusive, would try to get him then, but I would like a Duck Hunt one the most...and maybe Dr Mario...
@TeeJay I know it's not very likely, but not entirely impossible. I'm not being super hopeful on it or anything, in fact I don't expect ANY alternative costume amiibos like this, but it's still a possibility.
Desperately want Olimar & pikmin, would be so awesome. Then Duck Hunt Dog. The comments are interesting in that there seems to be support for a wide range. Nintendo has characters that appeal to everyone.
>inb4 ness is in last wave
Zero suit samus and Mr Game and Watch. My most used characters.
Lucina FTW
I'm buying Dark Pit and Zero-Suit Samus right when they hit the market
I bet they are not releasing Dark Pit, Dr. Mario, Duck Hunt (Duo), and R.O.B. is because they are hidden characters in the game that you unlock pretty late! I bet they aren't doing them until later, (if they do) because they don't want spoilers I guess.
Also, Mr. Game and Watch could not look like that because of its overhang. If you deny, think of it. In amiibos they have the plastic stuff going under the bottom so it can stand, the Mr. Game and Watch amiibo would not be able to be made because the bell is too far out. Same with Dark Pit.
Dat Ness doe~
@VeeFlamesNL Well, hackers have found data for them tin the game. So if people can get the data out of the game and get it on an NFC clip, they can make a custom one. And custom Mr Game and Watch amiibos DO exist.
@DinoFett Not likely. But maybe if the next TL game uses amiibo
