It has been revealed that Namco Bandai is bringing amiibo support to its 3DS title One Piece: Super Grand Battle! X.
This is the second Namco Bandai title to showcase connectivity with Nintendo's new "toys to life" range, with Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy Plus already confirmed.
The scan shown below — taken from Jump magazine — shows characters from the game dressed in various Nintendo costumes.
There's still no word on whether or not this title will be making its way outside of Japan, but previous One Piece titles have a good history of getting localised.
Thanks to Tulio for the tip!

I'm not surprised. After all, they helped developing Super Smash Bros.
@Tsurii897 Luigi didn't need a wall to do the pose.
@Tsurii897 Is it? I'm watching the Thriller Bark arc of the anime right now, but I have no idea who that guy with the top hat in the upper part of the picture is or what his relevance to the plot is.
I'm glad Namco is taking advantage of the amiibos, even if it is just costumes. The Pac-man, Mega Man, and Sonic amiibos will be so much more awesome if their respective companies use them for their own games.
I'm guessing that Namco has alot of freedom to use amiibo, so it makes sense why they would reap any sort of benefit from them, under the impression that the amiibo range is mostly, if not all of Nintendo's work.
Man, Zoro as Link and Sanji as [Smash Bros.] Fox is SUPER fitting. Luffy kinda fits as Luigi, and that would only benefit more if Ace (sob) had the Mario costume. Now I'm curious what other One Piece characters would look like in Nintendo costumes. :V
Yup, hyper-spoiler alert. Thanks for that... ;-;
@Legodavid18
Well, then you are only about halfway there so...
Just fogetta bout 'm okay!?
Zoro as Link... If there's such a thing as a double fangasm, I believe this is it.
I don't even watch onepiece, but I want this!
@SCAR392 Sooo....the MegaMan amiibo doesnt get used at all by its respective company ?
Gigant battle on DS was awesome, and Gaming History Mascot Mosh Fest, aka Smash Bros, is so too, obviously. So BRING IT ON!
Question:
Can people get these dresses without having an Amiibo just by playing the game and (e.g.) fullfilling a special mission?
If not wouldn't this has to be called payed content (whether as DLC or content already contained in the game) as you could not unlock it otherwise without paying for an Amiibo (if only costumes)?
I would rather see them release their own amiibos. It seems like every game is just adding Nintendo costumes. I think it's great if 3rd parties take advantage of it, but this is getting silly.
This is cool-
I don't have any Amiibo yet, but I do want one. The main reason I haven't gotten one yet is because I only have MK8 as the only Amiibo available title in my possession, and I don't fancy how weak the Amiibo compatibility is. If I wanted to look like Mario, I'd choose Mario! But I'd love to see third party software that incorporates Amiibo. Or downloadable titles. Nintendo, I think, should embrace Amiibo right now because people love it so much it's out of stock a lot. Make more Amiibo titles, Nintendo! They don't have to be so big.
@OmegaStar Why did you click the article then?
Also if you're ever interested in it, I would greatly suggest reading the manga. The anime moves at a snails pace, I should know, I'm on the Thriller Bark Arc and it's pretty slow often taking away like the first 5 minutes just recapping what happened in the previous episodes.
Anyway, this is pretty cool, though I'm still not happy about stuff being amiibo exclusive, this is just locking out content for others who don't have them, I believe Mario Kart 8 does the same thing with their costumes.
The only amiibos I'm planning on getting are: Captain Falcon, Fox, Falco, Peach, Mega Man, Sonic, Pac-Man & Kirby.
I'm buying the game if it (hopefully)comes out in the US, I bought Unlimited World Red & enjoyed it, I'm sure I'll love this one, from the gameplay videos I've seen.
@Ambermoon : No. Amiibo would be the only way to unlock the content. To be able to unlock the content without amiibo would defeat the purpose of implementing the feature in the first place.
I really don't need Mario stuff crammed into these other games. I'm a Nintendo fan and all, but it's far too much and I'm not THAT big of a fan. Bayonetta, One Piece... should we do Mortal Kombat next?
I want to give Shulk to Zoro so he can wield 3 Momados
I can just imagine Franky in a gorilla suit & tie and Chopper wearing Diddy's outfit
You're welcome! They all look so funny! I guess a western release is even more possible now with amiibo support. But I guess it would take some time, since there's no date for the New 3DS (or the NFC thing for the normal 3DSs) in Europe and the Americas.
Got excited for a moment, thought there was going to be One Piece amiibos. But it's just, yawn more costume unlocks.
It's a fun way to apply your favorite character to other games. It might seem like a simple addition, but it creates an interesting perk to owning an amiibo and if you like the idea and extra incentive to be interested in games that might no attract your attention otherwise.
This is really cool.
Another game we will not be getting....Sigh....
Wow, the top half of that page has a GIGANTIC spoiler for recent events in the manga.
Zoro as Link. Your argument is invalid.
@Einherjar
I mean that if Capcom releases a game on Wii U or New 3DS, they should make Mega Man do something that none of the other amiibos can, because it's Mega Man.
Nami as Peach and Robin as Zelda?
@SCAR392 Thats a freakin big if there...
Were talking about Capcom, who basically are going to rerelease Street Fighter 4 again but are just calling it 5 this time.
I doubt that they will bring out anything meaningfull where Amiibo support would be usefull :/
Nice to see that Amiibo support will be coming to this game. I can definitely see Nami as Peach (which I do have) and Zelda as Robin.
Also @Damo, you may want to give a massive warning or cut out spoiler content related to anime-based articles in the future. You just dropped a gigantic spoiler bomb in the upper half of the image without any warning. It personally didn't affect me since I'm keeping up with One Piece, but those that are behind or are just getting into the series just got massively spoiled without any warning whatsoever. I'm very disappointed.
A suggestion is to allow someone who is familiar with anime/manga series to post articles like these, so that way he/she would be able to spot spoilers like these and cut them out if necessary when submitting future articles.
Nintendo costumes for One Piece. I never knew I wanted this.
The top of the image is a big One Piece Spoiler 0_0
@Einherjar
I know. I'm just sayin'. Sega will inevitably release another Sonic game, too, so it would be nice if the Sonic amiibo actually did something. The same thing goes for Pac-man and Namco. They've just been using the Nintendo ones for New 3DS, so far.
Can we please get Chopper in a King Dedede costume?
@Squid No, those don't work at all! It's gotta be Nami as Palutena (elemental staff) and Robin as...well...Robin♀ (tactitian with a book). Well, once they make Amiibos for those characters, anyway.
So, Amiibo support isn't going to be limited with Nintendo's games? That ups the value of an Amiibo significantly.
