It seems like only yesterday that Pokémon favourite Mewtwo was added to the Super Smash Bros. roster as a DLC update. The only thing that has been missing is an accompanying amiibo, which even prompted a fan to create their own!
Mewtwo fans need not give up hope however as an our Nintendo Life features contributor Alan Lopez has spotted a prototype for this highly anticipated amiibo on display at San Diego Comic-Con.
What do you think of this amiibo design? Will you be attempting to snap one up when these become available one day?

Looks pretty nice! Since it's Pokemon though, it's probably compatible with nothing, much like the others. Seems like the type of one solely for displaying. Not a bad thing though; since this looks terrific.
So badass!
I'll be buying seventeen. Wait. No. One.
I'm calling it, Toys R Us exclusive.
No way will the final version look that good, but if it does I'd definitely buy one.
So out of the characters that are currently in Smash Bros, we only need to see Lucas, Roy and Ryu in Amiibo form (assuming "Costume Characters" like The Koopa Kids and Alph won't get Amiibo as they are more costumes than full characters)! Wonder if Mewtwo will be coming before the year is over or if we will get him early next year.
What's behind Mewtwo?
@NightmareEater
8-bit Classic Mario
I swear, if it's Toysrus exclusive I'll be real peaved.
@Plainsville There's always that fighting game if it even comes to consoles soon. Plus whatever Game Freak's working on next (XY sequel, 3rd version, whatever.) they could add Amiibo support to that. It be cool if you scan Mewtwo in and you got a free Mewtwo in the game...
This thing looks BEAUTIFUL. I really hope it won't be too hard to find, because I would love to have a couple (one for me, one for bro). I have a feeling it will though, since it is a DLC character and I have a feeling DLC amiibo will be impossible to find, especially if retail-exclusive. Or maybe that isn't how they're distributing it, maybe they're distributing it along with the other DLC amiibo through some sort of special means (hopefully not ). Who knows, maybe they'll be available to the public and come with a download code for that fighter. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Looks nice!
He would be nice to get, but there are other characters coming out I want more badly, like R.O.B. and Mr. Game & Watch
i would get that
Makes me wonder if using a DLC character amiibo will unlock said character in-game if you don't already own them. It would suck if someone bought a Mewtwo for their kid (assuming all of the planets align on a full moon and the average consumer could walk in and buy one from a retailer) and then found out they have to shill out another 4 bucks just to use the thing.
Since you don't actually get to play as the character when using amiibo, you most likely could use Mewtwo, even if you don't have the DLC yourself.
Mewtwo and Mew are are must haves for me, even tho I've avoided the rest of the Pokemens.
I can already tell that there won't be enough stock, and it'll be impossible to find.
@RadioShadow it's a happy meal toy, calm down
@Poketendo you're kidding, right?
@Ninstarkof No, why would I? What do you mean?
@Poketendo it's just game and watch is kinda lame
@Grumblevolcano Ditto, and that's probably a good thing. My local TRU had +150 Greninjas at launch. Sure they sold out but its a far cry better than EB/Gamestops pathetic half dozen units.
@Ninstarkof So what? If he wants Game & Watch, then good for him! I also want Game & Watch...you've got a problem with people liking Game & Watch?
@Ninstarkof Well, it's fine if that's what you think, but I like him. He's great in Smash, and I like the multiple poses his amiibo has.
@NintendoFan64 LOL, how old ARE you?
@Poketendo I guess....
@NintendoFan64 I never said I have a problem with that. Go play with your black guy from the 70's if you want
@Ninstarkof ...I don't think I quite care for how you're speaking to me...er...typing to me.
Edit: OH! According to yoru profile, you're 13! Now it makes sense...
@NintendoFan64 what does my age have to do with anything?
@Ninstarkof Well, there's a lot of people your age who think that it's okay to be a jerk to people on the internet just for liking something, and say stuff that just sound immature.
@Ninstarkof Well, there's a lot of people your age who think that it's okay to be a jerk to people on the internet just for liking something, and say stuff that just sound immature.
@NintendoFan64...ANSWER ME!!!
@Ninstarkof I just did. Anyways, I'd like to continue this conversation, but I have to go now.
@Ninstarkof You are the only one who even mentioned age. But guys, you too @NintendoFan64 , I have an idea. How about we just stop this useless discussion? We're only cluttering the comment area of a cool announcement with a discussion that won't result in anything. So Ninstarkof doesn't like Mr. Game & Watch, and NintendoFan64 and I do. Ninstarkof, I respect your opinion, and NintendoFan64, I appreciate your support with my opinion, but can't we all just act as grown-ups and enjoy the news of a first look at the Mewtwo amiibo?
@NintendoFan64 LMAO! I was a jerk? I know most people on the Internet are a bunch of softies, but this is ridiculous!
@Poketendo
1: a comment section is for opinions and I'm jusr letting the world know I think game and watch sucks
2:nothing wrong with puting my age, race or sexual orientation
@NintendoFan64 who needs you, anyway?
@Ninstarkof No, there's nothing wrong with putting your age, race or sexual orientation online, but I never said that. I only said that you were the first one talking about age, and then you scalded NintendoFan64 for it. That was what I was trying to make clear.
Second, I know a comment section is for opinions, and as I said, I respect yours. However, just scroll over the comments on here and look at how many come from you and NintendoFan64. I don't think that the comment section of an article about Mewtwo is meant for a discussion about Game & Watch. It's fine you give your opinion, but there's no need for you to get into an argument that takes up over half of the comment section, because that only makes it harder for other readers to find other opinions, exactly what the comment section is meant for, as you said. That is what I wanted to make clear. Can't we just act as adults and stop this discussion?
@Poketendo
1:I'm not an adult
2:I'm not going to be stubborn, I agree with you and I apolagize
3hone battery almost dead, bye
@Ninstarkof phone battery
@Ninstarkof Thank you
@Jazzer94 I don't see anything that wouldn't be possible via mass producing unlike some Amiibos from the first wave prototypes.
What I have to wonder is how they'll handle distribution. I mean, these are figures for DLC, so how would they work. Let's say I don't have the DLC installed, when I scan the Amiibo, will it tell me to buy it?
All I can imagine is some little kid who doesn't even know what DLC is really wanting a Mewtwo Amiibo (most kids aren't gonna know who Lucas and Roy.) and getting it only to find out that he can't use it.
@KirbyKirbyKirby and next to that which is only half in the picture is the modern colour 8-bit Mario.
@Zelda64L Considering can't play as Amiibo characters and updates contain the characters maybe you can use it without buying the DLC.
But I dn't know if there would be any people who use Amiibo fighters and would think the Mewtwo Amiibo would unlock the DLC - if they don't have the DLC maybe they would be more likely to think it was like the Splatoon figures which obviously don't do anything in Smash Bros.
Not a fan of Pokemon, but I'll hand it to them, the Mewtwo character is one of the better designed Pokemon characters besides their poster child Pikachu. I would buy it if I sae it on a store rack, but IMO not going out of my way to procure one. It can stay of eBay...
4/6 for pokemon amiibo atm, if I can get zard and this then i'll have 6/6
