All Smash Series amiibo Work With Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Will Carry Over Old Data

Thats great news. Fingers crossed for more new amiibo too

Here’s hoping they don’t make revised ones of the old characters. I do not want to collect them all over again.

Not a huge Smash fan, but I’m happy that you guys got what you wanted!

So for everybody who already has an amiibo leveled up to 50 - all of ours from SSB - there really isn't much to look forward too in this version of Smash?

They only showed a few characters on that screen at the beginning, saying we will have to unlock the others. I really hope we can at least use amiibo we have to unlock the characters in the game w/o jumping through all of the normal unlock hoops. Seems the least they can do. The very very least.

So happy Nintendo is keeping amiibo relevant!

Hopefully this means that the Custom Moves will return. I could understand that this was somewhat of a hassle for competitive purposes, but I liked changing up my play styles with whatever characters I used.

And yes, this is irrelevant to the article, but anybody who has had experiences with Figure Players should know that Custom Moves can be used with them.

@thesilverbrick Please, the only revised character amiibos we'd see would be the following: Link (BOTW Variant), Zelda (ALBW Version), Ganondorf (Ocarina of Time Variant), and the Mii Fighters.

This doesn’t really seem like news. SSB4 allowed you to use every Mario variant and transfer data between the 3DS and Wii U versions.

At one point that was one of the nicer selling points of Amiibo - that the character variants were interchangeable, you wouldn’t need every one, you could just which Yoshi you preferred the look of. But at some point they started making each variant have a unique purpose in certain games (like the different Links in BotW).

This is brilliant. I knew but (who knew that) amiibo was going to be this longstanding and this worthwhile in the long run. Other day I was in one of the closing Toys R Us, they offered one of the disney infinity 3 kits with a bunch of toys inside for $2.00.Yes, $2.00. That's right. This includes the game, base and all. I assume this was $59.99 at the time. And yet amiibo is going this strong into... 2019 (!)

All your amiibo data will carry over, unlike your fortnite data from ps4 to switch, nice

I'm surprised they didn't reveal the Solid Snake amiibo considering that it is obviously coming.

When can we pre order the new Ridley figure?

I'm assuming that my current non-smash Inkling amiibo is also compatible. In any case I'm happy that amiibo is still relevant, even after the toys to life fad.

Will they be making more of the old Amiibo too? I need a green cap Link, so I don't have to play as genderfluid ponytail Link when I finally get around to playing BotW.

I had quite a few Amiibos that were solely for decoration, and when I got a New 3DS XL, I trained them all up to 50, and tweaked their stats to my liking. Of all the announcements for Smash, the Amiibo data carrying over was honestly what got me most excited

As someone so deep in the amiibo game that I've collected all series figures, I honestly hope that the only new ones are for updated characters and ones that missed out on the first run, while the rest just get re-releases.

I have a Charizard amiibo, how exactly would that work in Ultimate? Will the data just go straight to Pokemon Trainer? A little confused. Might sell the amiibo, or if the maximum level gets transferred i'll keep it I guess.
