Kirby And The Forgotten Land Will Have amiibo Support, According To Nintendo Of Japan

Glad I have all of them except BoxBoy. Which has outrageous eBay prices...

So glad they have an amiibo for my favorite Kirby character, Boxboy!
_{^{yes, i know HAL Lab makes both, just zip it so im funny}}

Kirby 2022: All good news; never bad news.

Qbby is one of my favourite amiibo. I think I nicknamed him “Posture Qbby” after a line in Daria, where an elderly substitute teacher tells Kevin the dopey quarterback: “Posture, QB, posture”.

Here’s hoping that they’ll restock them via My Nintendo as they were only ever produced in such limited quantities.

The amiibo functionality was already confirmed, wasn't it?

Though the confirmation of the Qbby amiibo compatibility is new. The compatibility of the others was kind of expected.

I'm absolutely confident this won't happen, but it'd be pretty cool of they'd release the Qbby amiibo worldwide for this

I hope I don't forget to buy these if they come to the U.S.

I'll stop with the crappy puns when I die!!!!

I mean but of course, how else would they get you to buy overpriced plastic to unlock part of the game you paid for already?

I cannot tell you how much I love this totally appropriate seasonal pink theme we've got going on in this article, more like this pls @KateGray!

Hopefully they bring qbby amiibo to the states.

If only compatibility = reprints.

Qbby needs a US release!

Kirby is Grey!

@InvisiBulbasaur Not always, but sometimes they do. I'm sure they reprinted Smash Bowser and Bowser Jr. when 3D World + Bowser's Fury was released. And I believe a listing a few days ago hints at a Byleth reprint, most likely to coincide with the upcoming Fire Emblem: Three Houses Warriors game.

I do hope they reprint the Smash versions, Kirby's version of Kirby and Waddle Dee. If we're really lucky we'll get the Qbby amiibo as well.

@MostHandsieBoy I'm still hoping for AI-controlled Bandanna Waddle Dee and four-player mode.

It's nice that this includes amiibo support but I kinda wish they would give them functionality that's more meaningful than just giving players in-game items.

Smash Ultimate gave you the ability to train a CPU fighter from your figure and using the Wolf Link amiibo in BOTW lets players summon him to tag along on your journey. Both of these examples are also optional and don't lock away significant content or features from the players while allowing data to be carried over to/from other games.

There is a suitable middle ground between games like Kirby offering superficial support by providing in-game items and a game like Skyward Sword HD where a quality-of-life mechanic is tied directly to the Loftwing amiibo. I bet designing balanced and personalized gameplay for figures isn't generally the easiest route for amiibo support but it's really neat when Nintendo game have them.

I'm not going to lie, I read this article earlier, and I went and found an amiibo token maker, and got a boxboy! token since I'll never get that amiibo without a localization reprint in the USA.

@HammerGalladeBro it was, but not the specific amiibo... although we could have guessed most of them!
