As if all the excitement of the Nintendo Direct wasn't quite enough, Nintendo has now gone and revealed even more amiibo figures set to arrive in April. Our poor, poor wallets.
That's right, Ken, Daisy, and Young Link are all set to arrive in stores (and then immediately into our collections) this April. On the 12th April, if we're being precise.
The news comes in addition to the reveal of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's incoming Version 3.0.0 update - which arrives this spring along with DLC character, Joker - and the promise of another five figures all set to launch in 2019. Phew...
Have you been collecting all of the Smash figures? Will you be adding any of these to it in the near future? Let us know which ones you'll be getting in the comments.

I’m happy they’re releasing in smaller waves. I’m unhappy they were arbitrarily hiked up in price by three dollars.
Get them while their hot at BestBuy but found out they only Delivery them no Pickup.
An entire Wave of Echo Fighters? That's... interesting.
I have my eye on that Simon Amiibo. It looks awesome and he stealthily became my main!
@thesilverbrick hike where their only 15.99USD as all other Amiibos as of late.
@SwitchForce The entire original run of Smash figures from Smash 4 were $12.99, as are the rereleases of those figures.
Waiting on preorders to open.
Edit:
Aaaaaand preordered!
I like Amiibo but I do still wish they'd be more utilized in more games.
I still really want a game, like the Mii Plaza on 3DS, but using Amiibo the way it used Streetpass.
@shoeses young Link is not an echo fighter.
@thesilverbrick That was original this is Today. Be glad they didn't say 19.99USB per Amiibos.
@SwitchForce These figures are $3 more than the ones from Smash 4. I don’t have to be happy about it. Why do you insist on attempting to argue?
@thesilverbrick stop the complaining then don't buy them. It's pretty easy buy now or pay the Scalper prices. Take your pick. You don't get a choice here and neither does the rest of us buyers. You can't Troll all you want that isn't going to change the price. Those with BestBuy GCU will get it for less then what others will pay.
@Roam85 He might as well be.
@SwitchForce I don’t know if you realize this, but a comments section is where people share opinions on the topic being discussed. Every article on this site asks for the opinions of the readers here. I simply shared aspects of these new amiibo I enjoy and aspects that I don’t. I fully intend to buy all these figures. I’m just not thrilled that they’re significantly more expensive than they used to be, despite no increase in quality or construction. Why does my opinion bother you so much? You’re free to ignore me, you know.
Preordered Young Link. With the Gamers Club Discount it was only $13.
@SwitchForce Odd, I was able to do pickup no problem.
@thesilverbrick Your opinion is one thing but thinking they should price to what you think is not a opinion. One forget to factor inflation.
@SwitchForce When did I demand they change the price? I simply said I was unhappy with the increase. You’ve added all the subtext. I have no idea why you’re looking for an argument.
Ken and Castlevania's Simon, that's my only interest.
Pre-ordered on Best Buy!
I have most every link including both from Wind Waker, the Ocarina one & Skyward Sword.
My favorite is the Majora's Mask one (and it had the best in-game armor unlock in Breath of The Wild).
Interesting, i probably will going to pick the young link.
Finally! Pre-ordered the Daisy amiibo
@thesilverbrick I totally agree, I thought $13 was a great price point, so it's too bad they hiked it up a fair amount. I hope the quality of the figures goes up with that, and that it's not just an inflation increase...but for now my amiibo buying has slowed down anyway, guess I'll just have to be even pickier about which ones I get
That said, still hoping/waiting for ARMS amiibo to show up
I need this Young Link amiibo in my life.
I need the Ken one to fight my Ryu amiibo. You could say I'm so keen for it I'll be keening if I don't get a Ken. If you ken what I mean.
@DeltaPeng I have the Ridley, Inkling and Wolf ones and they’re identical in quality to the Smash 4 figures. I can’t stop collecting them now, though. I’ve got all the other ones, haha.
And I’d absolutely love some ARMS amiibo!
Thanks for the Best Buy heads-up! I might have waited for Amazon's price, but not when Young Link and Zelda Scalping is part of the gig! D:
Oh sweet! The good news keeps coming
@thesilverbrick I haven't gotten around to picking up the new Smash amiibo but I did get all of the BoTW Champions and those are way way nicer than the original run of Smash 4 ones.
@DeltaPeng @thesilverbrick I would kill (metaphorically) for ARMS amiibo. It would be super cool if they had swappable ARMS that could be mixed and match with other figures, similar to Mr. Game & Watch’s poses or the Monster Hunter riders.
Is that the 12th or 13th different Link amiibo, I've lost track.
Maybe Nintendo can make "Link: amiibo Snap!". 😝
@Leuke "Preordered Young Link. With the Gamers Club Discount it was only $13.
@SwitchForce Odd, I was able to do pickup no problem."
I must've click far to early because I know it only allowed Delivery the first time I made the order. But now I changed it to Pickup and that was less. Now that is really odd.
The level of detail on the new Smash amiibo might be the same, but the quality (and consistency, it seems) has been kicked up. ...hope there's some savings on the PokéPack... Lol
Oooh gotta get that Ken amiibo!
Woo GCU and ten bucks off? Sold! Just got all three.
@Ryu_Niiyama yeah those still with GCU are lucky farts. But then again those with GCU still active will expire as well that is not so lucky.
Yay love the amiibo can't wait
Must... resist.. buying... more... amiibos. XD
Screw it, I will buy the Daisy amiibo. Maybe two.
Awesome! I'm gonna buy them all!
Finally Link's getting an amiibo!
@thesilverbrick
Funnily enough, at the exact time @SwitchForce was accusing of you of being a "troll" just for the fairly innocuous, uncontroversial opinion of not being that happy with a price increase, he commented on the BoxBoy article, saying that its amiibo was "overpriced"...
@SwitchForce shrugs we paid for a contract. And Best Buy is honoring that contract. No luck involved.
I'll take your entire stock
Sho-ryu-ken!
(I'll take the Ken amiibo, please.)
I have absolutely no interest in Daisey.
I will buy Ken!
I may buy the Link. I'm half interested because we already own so many different versions of Link that I'm not sure we need another. Although I'm sure someone will say, "you can never have enough Link Amiibo!"
@Ryu_Niiyama "shrugs we paid for a contract. And Best Buy is honoring that contract. No luck involved."
Actually there was some luck in that those that had Auto Renewal before they cancelled got lucky it was extended before that deadline. And once that is done and over will end up going to GameStop or Amazon for standard price. But for BestBuy unless you buy a certain amount in the year they had a sorta membership status which gives some discount after reaching a buying limit to get the discount.
@Haywired The hypocrisy is thick, isn’t it? I went back and read a bunch of his comments under his profile and many of them seem to be of a contrary nature. He’s looking to pick fights. I should’ve just ignored him instead of dignifying him with a response. That’s what I’ll do in the future.
Eh, I'll pass. I'm more interested in K. Rool, Ice Climbers and Simon Belmont.
@shoeses Technically, if we are going by that logic, Toon Link should be the echo since Young Link was here first.
And you can't say "Toon Link plays too differently" because then you're entire argument falls apart and Young Link sure as hell doesn't play like regular Link.
@SwitchForce again you are ascrbing luck to a contract and service that was purchased. Literally no luck involved. Unless you are being hyperbolic which is still inaccurate but common. Moving on.
@NCChris kk
@thesilverbrick To be fair, the build quality has also gone way up since the first Amiibos. Compare the original Link Amiibo to the newest Splatoon, Zelda or even Smash Amiibos for example.
As an Amiibo collector, the one that did bother me was Detective Pikachu, which was too expensive and too big for no real reason (even though I still bought it because I can't be trusted with a credit card )
@Ryu_Niiyama dude get a life its was luck for those with GCU you need to move on. Sad that you don't want to accept that.
Preordered on Gamestop.
We had Young Link from MM; this is Young Link from Ocarina of Time. Subtle difference – Kokiri Sword has a different hilt between games & he's got the Deku Shield rather than the Termina Hero's Shield. Also different pose of course (no Goron's Mask).
DAISY!!!!! Look at the detail on her dress!!
