Nintendo has confirmed that all of the newly announced fighters for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will eventually receive new amiibo figures.
If you've somehow avoided all the news from today's Super Smash Bros. Direct, or were simply knocked over by the pure wonder of it all, you may well have missed the news surrounding the five new fighters coming to the game. First up we saw Simon and Richter Belmont from the Castlevania series, then we had Chrom and Dark Samus appearing as echo fighters, and finally - amazingly - King K. Rool turned up on the scene.
Nintendo has since revealed that amiibo figures will be released for each of these characters, although no images were shared to give us an idea of how they might look in the flesh.
We can already feel our wallets crying under the pressure of all of today's announcements - between this and the limited edition that was shown off earlier, it might be time to think about sacrificing those unessential things like food and house bills.
Are you feeling the hype?

Only two are actually new fighters. Echo's don't count. Not anymore, anyway.
Sell your children, parents! You can always get more!
And all the scalpers in the class got up and clapped.
I still can't get a hold of the last.. 10 or so amiibo batch releases?
@ThatNyteDaez - Technically, they never did.
Can't wait to get the Castlvania, Dark Samus and King K Rool amiibos!
Gonna need that Dark Samus amiibo.
A better investment than V-Bucks.
Still no Dixie Kong...
Simon for sure. Probably K. Rool too. Probably pass on the other 3.
Include the Doom Slayer and I’ll buy him On the spot
If that Dark Samus amiibo doesn't float above the stand like she does in the game I'm going to be slightly miffed!
Why did they all get a $3 price increase? This is going to add up quickly.
I want Rex & Pyra :c
See, this is why I have no money...
Chrom already has an amiibo, but I guess they'll be making a new Smash-branded one.
“And we'll probably want them all”
Speak for yourself
@electrolite77
They did speak for themselves... you're not part of the NintendoLife crew
I need Krystal and Rathalos amiibo. Preferably a big $25 Rathalos, Krystal should be normal size. Maybe Death and Dracula as well depending on their designs.
@Aethon
“And with that Captain Obvious waved to his adoring public and took to the skies, satisfied with another great job.” 😉😁
@EightBitMan I do spend my money on games. And anime. And manga. And magazines. And newspapers. And books.
People are allowed to have multiple interests.
It depends how good they look. I hate the ones with clear plastic to help them stand. It looks really cheap.
Welp, time to invest in Simon, Richter, and King K. Rool. Hopefully Pokémon Trainer (especially Female) gets an amiibo as well.
I’m all over these amiibos.
@EightBitMan
Mr. PC Only gamer...So you don’t even own a Switch, are PC only and yet feel the need to troll? Constantly?! What, the wife left you? You feel lonely? Life got you down? Well...I got a very exclusive club for you!
Welcome to the ignore list! You are part of a lucky few! Buh-bye!
Already have a Chrom Amiibo and a Dark Samus custom, so the other three will be higher priority for me, but I'll likely buy all 5 anyway.
@thesilverbrick Aren’t these going to be $12.99, like normal?
@XenoShaun They’ve been really easy to find in my area. I work at a Target, and we got in a lot of the last few releases. They seem to sell slower too. We got a restock of the Mario wedding trio, and they lasted like 2 whole weeks.
It's been a while since I've bought any amiibo, but I suppose I won't be able to help myself once I see Richter, no matter the cost.
Haha this game keeps delivering... when everyone said Simon I said that I wanted Richter Belmont and now I have it along with Ridley, Snake and Wolf. If they include Zero, Shantae, Shovel Knight and Dixie I think that all of the ones tha I wanted will be there. Either way Im more than satisfied already.
Edit: Oh, Shovel night and Zero are assist trophies.
My Amiibo are mostly from the Zelda series, but I'll make an exception for Dark Samus.
@imgrowinglegs Nope. $15.99.
Their goes my money
I've got to get K. Rool and Pichu from the new batch. I'm also hoping Wii Fit Trainer gets a restock.
Richter FTW. Now it's a party.
Simon Belmont and Dark Samus. I guess I'm back in the amiibo game. Oh wait, I've only been out since squishy Metroid ...
Me: What should i ask for my birthday this year?
Nintendo: ( Puts Alucard in Smash )
Me: Hmmmmm...
@imgrowinglegs I'm from UK. Maybe its an issue with different series? Zelda and Metroid are near impossible to find, least last I checked (which in fairness may been a month or so ago). Also the Smash DLC ones are very hard to come by, I had to import the Bayonetta 2 one from Japan as it was £100+ at the time (got for £17 with import, which is still higher than standard).
Definitely on board for K. Rool.
I'm thinking of getting Richter Belmont because I like collecting amiibos of classic characters and I dislike Simon's Quest so much 😆
Simon and K. Rool? WANT!
@chiefeagle02 Yeah definetly
My cousin just got a switch bout a week ago, and only has two games, Fortnite, and Hungry Shark World, he got 100 dollars and I told him he should get botw, but he spent ALL of it on v bucks for more tiers on the battle pass
@thesilverbrick Oh! That’s not great, but that’s still an okay price for the quality.
@Agent721 Slightly embarrassed to admit I didn’t know you could ignore users and their comments. This will come in handy—thanks!!
@XenoShaun They said all the past Smash amiibo will be getting another print run.
Oh man, a King K Rool amiibo????!! And Dark Samus amiibo???!! A frickin Chrom amiibo???!!
Oh God, Richter Belmont! That's my favourite Castlevania character!! How did they do it?? I never saw him coming. At first I thought it was a trailer for Micaiah from Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, then I saw the Medusa and thought it's someone from Kid Icarus, then a Werewolf and Dracula and thought maybe Alucard or Simon. Simon it was, along with Richter to my full surprise and excitement, and Alucard was confirmed as an Assist Trophy.
@WreckItRyan
Cheers!

It states on your profile you're a PC only gamer yet you spell out everyone here as fanboys, defend Horizon and do nothing but talk down every game and decision Nintendo made despite the millions who bought these games and the Switch clearly disagree.
You need to get a life lmfao.
That's expected... it'd be more of announcement if they said they're going to make more than one wave of these new ones. But they probably won't, so King K. Rool will end up being like $50+ online after a year like Corrin Player 2.
Speaking of which, still waiting for a Robin Player 2 amiibo Nintendo. >:/
Rex with pyra and mythra next as well.
I really don’t care about Smash Bros. as I’m not a fighting game fan. The first 3 Mortal Kombat games and MK9 were about it for me.
However, seeing my boy King K Rool excites me to no end and I will actually give the new Smash a try because of his inclusion.
I’m also not into the Amiibo craze, but yet again it’s my boy so I will be getting the King K Rool Amiibo. Probably a DK and Diddy one too, just to reunite them all.
On a side note, this just furthers my desire for a return of the Kremlins in any future DKC games. Retro did a great job on their takes of DKC, but it’s just not the same without the Kremlins. DKC without the Kremlins and K Rool is like Mario without Bowser, Link without Gannon, or Samus without Metroids.
@EightBitMan Ohh god, just shut up. You're not the only client in the world.
I have all amiibos. And I want more. And yeah, blame Nintendo for wanting to produce something that leaves them MILLIONS of dollars as income... to then spend on game development! DUH!!"!!
And Xenoblade 2 isn't broken, the hell you're talking about?
@JaxonH there was already a Chrom amiibo ... google it if you want one
@fafonio
I already own it.
But truth is I forgot it existed lol, even though it's on the shelf staring at me right now. And it's awesome with that pose.
@fafonio
He/She is probably one of those who saw the Eurogamer analysis on Xenoblade 2, heard the phrase "360p", and assumed the rest.
@thesilverbrick they cost more because they're ultimate amiibo.
Lame. Needs more Hocus Pocus.
I'm definitely buying the Belmonts. Can't wait.
@Angelic_Lapras_King Really? Thats good to hear. Hope I can grab them up this time.
Finally King K Rule! 👑
I'll purchase a Dark Samus amiibo (if I can get one before it vanishes from the market or whatever) just to stare at it for on hours on end. Her design is simply gorgeous
What? Please don't give me that smug look... I mean yeah, Dark Samus's kinda cute or whatever..... Seriously, stop. (Do I need to clarify that I'm making a rather disastrous attempt to be humorous?)
